Today we have for you the most in-depth Business of Chocolate episode to date. We filmed this episode back in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic. It was a precarious time and we were analyzing the numbers of our business more closely than we ever had before. In the beginning of Manoa Chocolate this is not something we always did, and so we suffered more than we had to. Analyzing the numbers of your business and setting target numbers years in advance adds a necessary clarity on where to improve. This way you can avoid surprise expenses that could be detrimental to continued growth year after year.
