  2. Failure Rates: Over 50% of new businesses fail within the first four years, highlighting the challenges in the entrepreneurial landscape.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Updates

New Programs and Resources

Hey, if you try to talk to everyone, it’s like shouting into the void! You need an avatar—someone who represents your dream client. Let me introduce you to mine: Chef Alex. She's enthusiastic, eager to learn, and ready to dive into starting her own venture. So, who’s yours?

Think about it. If you want to pinpoint your dream customer, just answer these five questions.

I'll whip up a personalized breakdown of your ideal client. This document will detail how you connect with your audience, their online search habits, plus a marketing blueprint stuffed with the tools you need. And here’s the kicker: you'll get a full business plan and 365 days of content—all for FREE!

Yes, you heard that right. I’m launching a beta test and need authentic feedback from as many business owners as I can get! All I ask is, if this helps you, share your thoughts with Entrepreneurial Spirit as a testimonial. Credibility is key when starting your business journey and we all have to start at zero. Welp, here I am, setting this thing up to soar :)

Stories

You may be wondering, what does the Entrepreneurial Spirit have to do with Wylder Space? It’s the newest leg of our business.

Even cooler than that though, is that I’ve personally applied everything the Entrepreneurial Spirit is teaching to Wylder. I’ve redesigned our website, started blogging (SEO, baby), and am motivated to build our brand, tell our story and share our vision with the world.

Upcoming Events

Mark your calendars! Join us for our next Webinar happening September 1 at 12 pm. Connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and industry experts to learn about how to build your brand like the pros.

Wylder Space Catering Offerings

Farm-to-Table Dining

I know, I know, farm-to-table is SUCH a burnt out buzz word. I totally agree. However, we had no idea it would catch such steam back in 2004 when we first started our business.

Not only do we source locally but we want to educate our clients on knowing and caring about where their food comes from.

We’d love to be your go-to catering partner for all things “good food”. We’re committed to hyper locally-sourced, regenerative ingredients.

Sample Menu

Table Side: Sweet plum focaccia + whipped butter platter (can be made vegan)

Starter: Bacon wrapped pear stuffed with stilton blue cheese butter, honey, candied walnut and arugula

Salad: Persimmon, pomegranate and purslane with pepitas

Vegan Main: Stuffed sweet potatoes with curried chickpea and mushrooms

Comfort: Chicken pot pie with leek and thyme

Entrepreneurial Lessons from Wylder Space

Business Strategies

Discover the innovative strategies that we’ve implemented at Wylder Space. Learn how to build strong relationships with local suppliers, commit to ethical sourcing, and create a brand that stands out. No joke though: from all that I’ve researched about 2025 and beyond, building an omnipresent brand on-line, and creating digital products is going to be a necessity for all small business owners moving forward. It’s what will set our businesses apart from everyone else’s… Think about it, do your research of course, and hit me up if you need guidance on how to get started. It’s a pretty big undertaking, not fast, by any means, but the transition will set your business up to thrive long term.

Building A Brand, Telling Your Story, Sharing Your Vision

What we’re finding at Wylder Space is that the more we focus on building our brand, telling our story and sharing our vision- the more we’re able to connect with all of you folks who are walking a similar path. It’s amazing what can happen when you get clear about who you’re here to serve and how you can best help. I would venture to say that the old saying “Your vibe attracts your tribe” is a very true statement.
