Greetings Fastlaners,

Here to be straight-forward, build supportive biz community, and accomplish goals together.

I started an organic meal-prep and delivery business in Philadelphia, after a friend of mine requested that I design him a meal plan to replace his daily routine of buying $11 chicken and broccoli from the local pizza shop.

So, I did. He gave me $100 and told me to come up with a meal plan that would cover his breakfast and lunch.

Me, being a backyard farmer & plant-based food enthusiast...here's what I gave him (all organic, btw):

5 Superfood Smoothies: Kale, Cherries, Mango, Chia, Hemp, Sea Moss, Spirulina, Maca, Camu Camu, Banana, Giner
5 Superfood Quinoa-Goji bars: quinoa, goji berries, oats, dates, almond butter, almonds, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, coconut flakes, honey
5 plant-based meals
5 plant-based sides (i.e. hummus and veg, sweet potato stir fries, spaghetti squash dishes, etc.)

And...I bought some beautiful glassware to package his meals, bars, and smoothies in.

He was really impressed but had some complaints about certain types of food...after some tweaking of recipes and some R&D in the kitchen, I decided to create a 2-pgr...in no time 3 more clients come strolling in at $100/week.

Not only that, people are losing real weight and integrating superfoods and vegan dishes into their lifestyle seamlessly.

I'm on-boarding clients 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 come January and have been challenged to grow a lot as an entrepreneur and manager.

I'll be keeping a progress thread and would love to build with other like-minded entrepreneurs.

BTW- i love cycling and do it to keep my mind sharp, recently started rock-climbing and love it, i meditate daily, love farming, took a BSc in Biz Admin from Drexel U in PHL...try to travel 1-2x per year for exploration (France, Haiti, Cali, Bermuda, Amsterdam - check)...Peru or Brazil hopefully next...but first things first is building a real business and systems that allow me the flexibility to travel and cash flow to support the travel.

Lastly, attached a 2-pg flyer I'll be dropping around the city to market myself - would love feedback! And, inserted my 1-pgr w/ old biz name, but you get the jist of the marketing message.

Appreciate you all!
Pat
