Why Most Cookie Businesses Crumble Before The First Sale
Passion makes cookies taste good, but it doesn't pay the bills. Too many talented bakers jump straight into the kitchen without a plan, only to get hit with:
- Unexpected Legal FinesIgnoring cottage food laws or local zoning can shut you down instantly.
- The "Hobby" Pricing TrapUnderpricing your goods because you didn't account for labor and overhead.
- Inventory NightmaresWasting money on bulk ingredients that spoil before you use them.
You don't need an MBA. You just need a roadmap.
