Today, you can find SmartSweets in over 10,000 stores like Whole Foods, Target, GNC and many online channels.
Imagine what it would be like to finally kick sugar from your
diet. No longer dealing with addiction to sweets and that guilty
feeling of letting your body down, sounds nice right? On this
episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader and
entrepreneur, Tara Bosch. In her conversation with Jeremy, Tara
opens up about why she started SmartSweets, how she began the
production process, challenges she faced along the way, what it
took to expand the team, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this
compelling and engaging episode featuring Tara’s story!
Do you have that one person in your corner who you can count on day
in and day out? Maybe for you, it’s a parent or childhood friend.
What challenges has that person helped you through? For business
leader Tara Bosch, the person who was there to encourage her along
the way was her grandmother. Tara fondly looks back at the time she
spent with her grandmother and points to their mutual love of
sweets that led her to start SmartSweets in the first place. Not
only is it a good idea to stop and remember those who have helped
you on your journey, but it’s also a good idea to consider who you
can do the same for.
While it’s helpful to have family members and mentors in your
corner, the one constant through your whole life will the be the
person you see in the mirror. How do you treat yourself? Do you
give yourself enough slack? Do you challenge yourself enough? One
important lesson that Tara Bosch has learned on her journey is the
value of keeping your self-talk positive. Often the business leader
can be their own worst critic, take it easy on yourself! Think of
inner dialogue as your number one fan, not your number one critic.
This simple mindset shift can have a significant impact on your
chances of success both personally and professionally.
Let’s face it; the average American is hooked on sugar, it’s almost
as ubiquitous as salt! From salads to cereal, sugar is in much of
the food you eat. What do you do if you want to kick sugar from
your diet? How do you do that while still enjoying deserts and
snacks? SmartSweets created the first candy that kicks sugar
naturally. Their snacks are free from added sugar, sugar alcohols
and artificial sweeteners. Every ingredient they use is non-GMO,
always real and never artificial. Make sure to check out the link

Have you found that one thing that lights you up? Are you able to
pursue that passion professionally? Tara Bosch knew that starting a
business selling sugar-free candy was a huge risk, but she jumped
in head first because she knew it was what she was meant to do.
Tara started SmartSweets after her love affair with candy turned
into an unhealthy relationship with food. She experienced the
adverse effects sugar has on our health, and she wanted to be part
of the solution. This venture was far from easy for Tara; she
struggled for months recipe testing in her kitchen with a gummy
bear mold from Amazon until she finally found the right formula.
The challenges only increased from there, but Tara was committed
and saw the process through. Now SmartSweets is a thriving business
moving forward and helping people finally kick sugar from their
diet.
