Thinking about turning your passion into a business?

You have several choices.  You can open up a restaurant or catering business, but for people that have that one or two specialty sauces, cookies, or drinks, did you ever dream about marketing them?  Did you know that Ken’s SteakHouse Dressing started with one man going door to door to local restaurants in the Framingham, Massachusetts area?  Yes, it is true. 

There is a website at labelworldusa.com where even the “little guys” can order very official looking Warning Labels, bar coded inventory labels, and even labels that can withstand food contact.  

My great-grandmother made the best cookies.  It was from an old German recipe that was handed down from mother to daughter.  Far and wide, many people thought they were better than anything else out there.  All the ingredients were weighed, not measured, and the most important thing…you cannot write it down so it remains secret.   I guess that recipe wouldn’t be ripe for mass marketing!  Instead of a nutrition label, this one would definitely have a warning label:

Warning:
Those who steal the ingredient list will be hurt.
Love,
Grandma Edna

I am always so impressed with stories like the dressing one above. I wish that I could come up with something so great like that but am no cook. Your grandmother’s cookies sound wonderful!

Heidi,
Don’t fret. Some of the world’s greatest products were made by accident. There is LOTS of hope for you!
