Your Key to Growth!

On February 1st, 2016 I launched a podcast, Blissful Bites, to share learning / inspiration / education from other women in the food industry. When I first started Blissful Eats and my blog I looked everywhere to learn from people who were further along in their business than me, but no one in the food industry was sharing their stories, the good and the bad of their journey and HOW they “made it”.

I started my podcast to educate women in and around the food industry. I had a lot of success with the podcast quickly. Listeners loved learning from my guests and the guests loved sharing what they knew. 

I knew there was something more to offer but I couldn’t put my finger on it…..

In April I went to Las Vegas for the 90 Day Year Conference with Todd Herman. I was able to connect with influencers like Melyssa Griffin, Rachel Luna, Nikki Elridge Brown, Melanie and Devin Duncan...and so many others. I also was able to meet so many people who were on a similar journey as me. Monetarily that trip cost us around $3,000 but the value was priceless. I came home with ideas to implement right away in my business, relationships I could build on and a new energy around my business.  

Vegas inspired me and energized my business. I started going back through my podcasts, looking at comments and talking to the women I interviewed. The listeners wanted to hear more and learn specific steps to take. Plus they wanted a community to interact with the speakers and other similar entrepreneurs. I realized I could create this community and provide direct actionable steps to help other food bloggers move their business forward by hosting a virtual online summit. All the education without the all the costs!

The first ever Food Entrepreneur Summit was born May 2016!

What's everyone saying about the Food Entrepreneur Summit?

"Anyone who works in the food industry, regardless of whether you are just starting out or are experienced, should attend the Food Entrepreneur Summit! All of the speakers were great, and there was such a large variety of topics available. I was able to implement a lot of what I learned immediately and feel I'm using my time much more effectively now. The Facebook group is also very active."

-Corinne Kantor, The Food Cop

"I just want to send a HUGE thank you to you for hosting this amazing summit. And to all the speakers! I have learned so much and it was just the kick in the pants that I needed to start taking action on things I have been thinking about doing for quite some time…..It's great to have a plan, I have no excuses for why I didn't have one before. So, again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone involved!"

"The Food Entrepreneur Summit is an amazing tool that not only answers all the questions about blogging you could possibly think of, but it allowed me to connect with so many other amazing bloggers. Thank you, Nicole for creating such an amazing and inspiring program! "

-Tara | Treble in the Kitchen

"This Summit was absolutely fantastic! After 5+ years of blogging, I had recently decided to make it my full time career, but I didn't know where to go and each learning step felt like it took weeks. After taking these classes from incredibly transparent and helpful instructors, I know that I have tangible steps to take me to the next level. I'm setting realistic, strategic goals for the future that I know will create a platform for success. I have also had my three largest sponsored posts since the Summit, so I've already paid off the price, too! (Even though I missed the Early Bird pricing. If you have that option now, TAKE IT!)" 

-Jessica Tepas, Semi-Sweet Tooth

"Nicole truly has a passion for helping others find success in their business. Throughout the summit she has been so accessible and finding ways to check in. Her knowledge and expertise in the field is what drew me to the summit, but her personality is what made me love it!"

"Nicole did an amazing job of herding together a talented and inspiring group of successful bloggers. The laser focus calls to action really help streamline goals and take the confusion out of how to really take things to the next level on my blog. And her focus on community makes us all feel like friends and opens up the floor to get questions answered and to connect!"

-Gretchen Brown (kumquat- kumquatblog.com)

"I loved this Summit. There was a wide variety of speakers sharing their knowledge of how to be successful in a realistic way. The fact that it was online was a huge help and love that I can go back and listen to master classes more than once. It was well worth it"

"Nicole, I loved this so much. You did an amazing job organizing the summit, and your presence throughout the whole thing was so great and supportive, and the summit left me feeling simultaneously overwhelmed and (so, so) inspired. Thank you!"
