SMART FOODS REXBURG

Aug 2nd, 2hrs

Started off in Indiana, when we moved back and realized there could be more accessible to us. I
had a whole health transition from an illness and changed my diet and wanted to keep up with
this, so where can I find it for decent prices?

Garden Maket?

“Fine, I’ll do it myself”.

Alpine Food Storage, friend company/partner and sort of a model to look up to. Often meets in
malad for exchanges, which is hard but works.

Meant to be bulk, meant to be affordable, expiration dates are an “eh”. Mixing farmer mentality
with holistic/homeopathic mentality with health and finding that nice line.

If you ever go into a partnership, make the rules clearly defined especially for when or if the
partnership ends.

Redmond natural mineral (non iodized) salt and some other seasonings

Class this Saturday, 9am free wonder oven class. In september, having some grains classes
from Chef Brad from byuTV

October class, a focus on college students and boxed foods and helping them to shift.

Animal Butchering class in the fall.

Nutritional Food storage class (Not until Jan.)

Collecting names for a possible loop route for food distribution and exchanges in communities
during events such as pandemics.
→ Calling people within a two-hour radius
→ Chobani plant is in Twin Falls, maybe even connecting wholesale accounts
→ others would be on emergency basis

Ultimately, I want to “sell” Smartfoods. Make it a program that someone else can do in their own
communities, like an e-course of how to start your own co-op.

ROI - Return on Investment to make up for things like loss leaders

Organize the excel sheet for these wholesale contacts
Aug 3rd, 2hrs
● Ask Jenna about boosting on Facebook since it costs money, as well as if she would like
me to share the post to other pages such as Rexburg Marketplace
● Ask for training on BigCommerce
● Review Clickup videos (Layla youtuber is good)
● Download Microsoft Teams and Clickup apps on cell
● Make a time sheet on Google Sheets

Ordered the book. Contacted Brandon and got all set up in Clickup. Requested Access to edit
Networking sheet. Posted to FB about Saturday’s class.

Aug 4th, 1hr

Cleaned up the networking sheet. Responded to comment question on FB about recorded class
option. Created time sheet. Read through Part of New Suppliers Networking document.
Watched a Clickup tutorial video.

● Clickup or Microsoft Team Calendars for “to-do” item #13 Figure out how to link phones
so an employee/assistant could add things to the schedule & it would show up on
everyone’s phone?
● Call Chobani or someone else to get going on networking/wholesalers! :D

Aug 6th, 4hr

Help record the Wonder Oven class. Set up and cleaned, maintained the Zoom meeting and
recordings. Gathered clips for a video.

Definitely learned that people are interested in alternatives to cooking, and that something that
might seem pricey to me is actually the cost of making it and things are more expensive that I
thought.

Also learned that there is such things as Solar Cooking with these neat solar ovens. There are
also, I think they are caled Butane stoves or something. And even though they are great, they
require a lot of fuel to cook very little so that’s where a Wonder Oven could come in. You could
preserve and ration your fuel by simply getting your water to a boil then placing it in the wonder
oven which uses insulation to cook it through, no power required! Pretty cool!

Aug 8th, 2hr

Created a Tiktok account and used Canva to create a professional tiktok profile logo picture.
Used the clips gathered from the class to create a video post, waited for approval and for the
video to upload through. This definitely took longer than expected, I’m almost due for an update,
perhaps I should consider getting a new phone.
● Ask Jenna to set up business account for Tiktok, as it needs some sort of business #
● Need her to also log into her Instragram account on Tiktok to connect them.

Aug 12th, 1hr

Read some of The E-Myth. I really enjoyed learning about the three business personalities of
the entrepreneur, the manager, and the technician. I feel I would fall into the category of a
manager and not really know the rest!

Aug 15th, 2hr

Read through Ch. 6. It was interesting to see the difference between owning a job vs owning a
business as well as the stages of a business in terms of infancy and adolescence.

I need to start taking more detailed notes about the book to get the most from it.

Downloaded Clickup and Teams on my phone. Still need to better learn to navigate Clickup I
think.

Worked on creating first honey fill-up post on canva. Awaiting prices and details from Jenna,
then I will need her approval and then post.

Begin with the end in mind - maturity
The entrepreneurial perspective on pg. 71
The business is the product
Make a system-dependent business, not a people-dependent one.
The Franchise Protoype gives the entrepreneur the chance to create a system of business to
pass down to franchisors to “turn the key” and run it themselves, hence why there are different
owners for different locations of the same business. (I think).

Posted the Honey Fill-up Photo, created Facebook Event

Positive Discipline for Teachers Book recommended by Jenna.
Envision your goals, beyond “I want my kids to behave well”, what systems is this going to go
through, ask your class what they want the year to look like and steps it will take to get there. Be
consistent in your steps, make a vision board!

Find ways to recharge yourself and delegate tasks so you don’t get burnt out.

Don’t assume that people know. Communicate with each other, ask how they think we can
solve this or at the very least survive through it.

Ask yourself “What are my biggest issues?” Then address them, write about them, etc! Tackle
the problems before they start (this won’t address 100% of the problems, but will give you time
when unplanned problems arrive)

● Create fliers for Chef Brad and Honey Fill-Up → List of Classes & QR Codes

QUICKBOOKS
Don't spend your time putting out fires, get organized to prevent fires in the first place

Excel, excel, excel- learn it live it love it

Something is going on, it needs to be doing all or nothing and it seems like the commerce site
isn't connecting to quick books as well. We may need to go into quickbooks and manually enter
some receipts and transactions and stuff.
Only form of payment online that we use is called Stripe (cards)

Contact stripe and ask for a report that also gives the customers name not just the order
number?

Big Commerce Inbound Test

Takes place in February, they are duplicates from a reconciliation that is already done. They

Harvested Honey, learned about the spinning, boy bees, etc. Got to witness the benefits of
homeschooling/experiential learning.
There is a grain called Spelt
Stocked so many beans, honey, etc. Learned the importance of reading the order pulls correctly

Sep 12th, 1hr

Watched Chef Brad to prep for the upcoming class. Black quinoa has a lot of benefits, even in
banana bread! It adds nutrition to a sweet banana bread without compromising flavor and
texture. “No matter how healthy it is, if our family won’t eat it, its a waste of our time”.

Agave sweetener, great for diabetics and sugar substitute. Leaving butter in chunks adds air
pockets to the bread - yummy!

Gluten cooking is best when you do a combination of three gluten free grains for your flour

Hey, he used spelt! Interesting, he mixed it with barley and brown rice to make a flour.
They make canned crab? Crab cakes don’t seem that hard or expensive to make yet seem like
such a delicacy!

Fiber is in the core of the apple, you DONT have to cut it out! Let your pasta salad chill for one
day for best flavor.

Spelt has more tolerable gluten for those who cant have it normally. You can also cook it in a
pressure cooker for around 50 min or grind it into flour

Created fliers for husbandry class and cold and flu workshop. Learned that husbandry isn’t just

lot of stuff! Learned that people use dried raspberry leaves in teas for nutrients, practiced food
safety while unloading produce and meats (hair tied back, washing hands after touching raw
frozen meat, etc.) Saw the power of networking as one of Jenna’s friends and essentially
partner tackled the numbers and work of the orders and the truck deliverer being very kind and
considerate with our order because he likes Jenna. Problem with rice pricing.
