Done is better than perfect. Start messy.
Hey Foodies
I’ve been thinking lately about how progress rarely comes from big, flashy moves. More often, it’s the small steps, the quiet wins and those little nudges forward that help us chase our dreams.
My win this week..
I had an amazing chat with one of my students, and the feedback he shared genuinely made my day. These are the moments that remind me why I created Food Truck Foundations in the first place.
Wherever you're at on your food truck journey, I’d love to help you make your next move with confidence.

Tip of the Week
Don’t order branded packaging until you’ve tested your menu. It’s tempting to go all-in on logos and labels early - but changes to portion sizes, serving style or pricing can make that first batch of packaging a costly mistake. Test first, brand later.
