What you’ll be able to do

Think and plan like an owner — goals, weekly rhythm, and fear that no longer decides for you.
Prove demand with paid orders before you invest.
Map your local market: competitors, prices, seasons and personas.
Know your cost per cookie and price with profit left over.

You already bake cookies people love. This course adds everything else: the owner mindset, proof that people will pay, real market research, pricing that leaves profit, and — in the country-specific legal modules — the registrations and food-safety routines your country expects, rendered from verified sources. Every module ends with a quiz; interactive calculators let you run YOUR numbers as you learn.
