How do you go from selling cocoa on the side to making $100,000 per month? John Nanci did exactly this by launching Chocolate Alchemy, a supplier of cacao beans, roasters, and education for all things chocolate. This chocolate business is the first of its kind, and all it took for John to get started was a $300 bag of beans. The craziest part? He didn’t need to spend a cent on any paid advertisement.
John had a background in science and chemistry, loved experimenting, and was especially drawn to roasting and brewing. When he met with the food engineer from Cadbury and told him his idea to make chocolate from home, the engineer told him it was impossible. John, however, saw it as a challenge.
In this episode, John gives insight on how to achieve an unlimited stream of customers using Autopilot. He also gives the three crucial steps to starting a business yourself, plus the single most important lesson every entrepreneur needs to learn in today’s digital world.
