Post Holdings’ Post

It took a while to find our footing with Bonji Foods. Once we did, we acquired our first ‘real’ piece of equipment. We were fortunate to get to capacity quickly. But now we were faced with maybe our biggest challenge yet - do we tell existing customers that there will be a longer lead time and turn away new business, at the first taste of momentum on our side? Of course not! After realizing the pickle we found ourselves in, Brian Bongiorno and I were driving a rented box truck by 7AM the next morning to go pick up our second machine. We returned back 10 hours later, installed the machine that night, and were processing on the machine the next day. Brian texted our group chat that morning stating, “after doing this, I know we can handle anything.” So much went into reaching capacity. Researching and developing a product that will resonate with customers. Identifying the machine that will best produce your product. Optimizing the machine for max efficiency. Optimizing the production line to eliminate any potential bottlenecks. Finding product market fit along the way and marketing and selling your product to the intended audience efficiently and effectively. Stumbling through each element of the process and finally reaching capacity is a dream, but that’s when the work has just begun. Momentum is a beautiful thing. But I know that whether we have the wind at our backs or not, the team at Bonji is digging in and finding a solution to any situation we face. Grateful for our team and their attitudes to tackle any challenge that appears and grateful for our customers for the opportunity to produce great products and support their business’s needs

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than yogurt. And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grain juice. You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person. Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America. Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin. Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect. #candidates #recruitment #hiring #support #greenbanner
