Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in Food & Beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dillon Bryan, owner and founder of The Frozen Frogs, located in Austin, Texas.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We sell fun! Our business is prepackaged wine based frozen beverages. Our consumers are you and everyone else that enjoys a frozen drink! Just freeze, squeeze and frosé!!!
Tell us about yourself
I started out in finance watching companies make goods and sell them. One day I thought to myself, ‘why can’t I do that?’ So I decided to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and try it out! Seeing a product from manufacture to sale and interacting with sellers and consumers keeps me motivated every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Starting with a vision and seeing it through concept, development, production, distribution and a happy sale.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Accountability. Every day I wake up knowing there’s a task at hand and it’s my responsibility to see it through. Most jobs there’s a chain of command but when you run your own business the hammer drops on you.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Wake up knowing you’re the only person who cares about your business so act accordingly.
Anything else you'd like to share?
Every speed bump in the road is an opportunity to pivot. Keep pushing the ball forward and you’ll see results.
