80% of food businesses fail in the first 5 years, and it’s not because their product isn't good.
It’s because well meaning, excited, and ambitious folks (like yourself) just don’t know what they don’t know… make-it-or-break-it factors like:
- There’s more competition than ever
- Profit margins can be razor thin
- It’s hard to get access to partners and vendors
- Government and safety regulations are complicated
- This industry carries a high probability for legal error
- But lack of knowledge and support shouldn’t keep you from living your dream.

Meet Founders Who Went Through The Program
Chennelle
Starting with a killer gluten-free biscuit recipe, Chennelle joined the program and got 1:1 strategy sessions to launch her business in the summer of 2021 legally, profitably and with an eye towards growth.
Her partner, Justin, now works full time in the business and they are solving new problems, like keeping their product in stock!
RYAN
Ryan worked with Sari 1:1 to launch Pup & The Pepper and then join Master Your Business and is an active member in Fuel and the 10X Mastermind as he scales his business into farmers markets, retailers and online.
You can find his hot sauces now on Amazon and lots of cute Eleanor (his corgi who inspired the brand) pics on their Instagram!
Charles
A marinade that only takes minutes, not hours to work!? Yep, Charles created something truly new and joined the program to help him get into action.
With support from the Fuel team to get his website up and running despite working a full time job and worried about it not being "perfect", he finally had to hit the "go" button and has been increasing sales at markets, online and in stores ever since.
Amber
As a mom of three trying to eat better, Amber and her husband Danny, aka Daddy, created naturally-flavored syrups without dyes and started a cottage food business to start.
After a layoff got Amber to take a leap into full time entrepreneurship, she joined the program and got to work to make her business profitable by opening up new sales channels

Meet your guide
Hi, I’m Sari, coach, author, friend, foodie…
And when it comes to this industry I’ve sat in nearly every seat at the table. Throughout my career, I’ve:
- Served as a buyer and Marketing Director for Whole Foods Market
- Managed a commissary kitchen
- Run a wholesale program for a national brand
- Coached 100’s of entrepreneurs in business, and mindset.
And here’s what I know: great products fall through the cracks EVERY DAY, leaving good people to miss out on the success they deserve. I don’t want this to happen to you.
That’s why I created Food Business Success®, to help you build a business that’s profitable, safe, and fun. The programs I’ve created will teach you how to run your business like a CEO, with the resources and skills you need to single handedly turn your business dream into a reality.
And when you upgrade to Food Business Success Platinum, you’ll benefit from 1:1 coaching and my personal connections, as well as become part of our thriving community.
You don't have to do this alone, or settle for “good enough.” Get the coach, content, and community you need to absolutely kill it out there – and enjoy the journey as you grow.
Yours in success,
Sari
This is possible for you too.

Our money-back guarantee
We promised you $100K
Here’s the fine print:
Make your program fee back in sales in the first five months or we will refund your money. For brands who are pre-launch, the five months start on your launch date.
To qualify for the guarantee you must go through 75% of the program and complete the assignments in module two and three, attend at least 10 Fuel calls and post in the community 20 times with all your questions so we can help you not just make your investment back, but 10X it!
Are you ready to turn your product dream into a business reality? Let’s get started now.
Access the Program →This is for you if:
- You are committed to *finally* taking a delicious idea and starting a business
- You want to sell at a farmers market, your own ecommerce online store, Amazon, retail stores as a wholesale vendor or through food service
- You have launched [YAY!], but are under $100K in sales and want to be sure you are profitable, safe, and compliant
- You want to scale into a commercial kitchen [from cottage food] or turn your production over to a co-packer to go after new sales channels
This is not for you if:
- You have created over $100K in revenue total [check out Master Your Business or 1:1 coaching] to go to $300K and beyond
- You have huge buckets of money to make a lot of mistakes or hire lots of outside help
- You don't care about being profitable, food safe or FDA complaint
- You are confident you can find everything you need on Google, free podcasts or asking people who have never done this before
Real talk, my friend
It's your time to do this thing you really want to do.
I know it is scary to make the leap to go from "what if..." to "let's go!"
You have a delicious dream that isn't letting go, so it's time to finally commit and say "YES!"
All of our Fuel members were once where you were at and each one will tell you it was the best decision they ever made to invest in themselves!
Here's what's waiting for you inside:
- Soup to nuts curriculum that covers everything you need to know about taking an idea to $100K
- Support and accountability from Fuel coaches and community
- Confidence that you aren't just throwing something at the wall "hoping" it works (or is legal and safe)
