Have you ever had a big idea for your farm business—but you didn’t act on it because it felt too overwhelming or risky?
That was me. Until my coach said five simple words that completely shifted my thinking:
“Just put a container around it.”
In this episode, I share how we beta tested our new Chef’s Line of prepared foods—and how using the concept of a beta test gave us the freedom to move forward without fear or perfectionism. If you’ve been sitting on an idea because it feels “too big,” this episode will show you how to test it, refine it, and build momentum with less stress.
🎧 Tune in to learn how to use a beta test to launch your next great idea—without getting stuck in analysis paralysis.
