Episode 185: Quarterly Planning For Busy Food Founders

Founders, managers, and CPG operators alike – we’re just about one month away from Q2. In this episode, Charlie and I dive into quarterly planning. We hear from so many founders that it’s something they know they should do, but yet…they don’t. We’re out to make sure you’re ready to plan your next quarter.

In this episode, we run through…

🧳 The most common reasons we hear for not planning your quarters

🧳 Why planning can be a form of self care for you and your business

🧳 An overview of our own quarterly planning process at Food Biz Wiz

🧳 Plus, how you can learn our in-depth quarterly planning process during our LIVE workshop!

You’ll hear all this and more in this episode!

📨 Be sure to send me a DM on Instagram at @itsalliball or connect with me on LinkedIn and let me know whether you’ll be planning for your next quarter.
