Building Simple Drew’s: A Slow, Intentional Approach to Success

Starting a brand from the ground up is an exhilarating process - one filled with excitement, lessons, and plenty of unexpected turns. Over the years, I’ve built a few passion projects, but Simple Drew’s is different. This time, I’m taking a slowed-down approach, moving forward with precision and purpose.

More than just creating a great product, I’m building something that aligns with my values. I want Simple Drew’s to be a brand that feels authentic, one that fosters connection within my community. Whether through carefully sourced ingredients, thoughtful design, or a commitment to quality, every decision is made with intention.

The Lessons So Far

As I navigate product development, branding, and the many moving parts of launching a business, one thing has become clear - there’s always more to learn. Every step, from refining my formulas to designing packaging and understanding supply chains, has brought new insights. It’s challenging, but there’s nothing quite like seeing an idea take shape and evolve into something real.

For any entrepreneurs out there, if I could give one piece of advice, it’s this: incorporate your business early. It’s a simple step that provides protection, credibility, and a foundation for growth. There’s so much to think about when launching a brand, but setting up a solid legal structure should be at the top of the list.

Looking Ahead

Simple Drew’s is still in its early days, but I’m excited for what’s ahead. This journey is about more than selling a product - it’s about creating something meaningful, something that reflects who I am and what I stand for.

If you’re someone building your own business, or thinking about starting one, I encourage you to take your time, stay true to your vision, and embrace the learning process. It’s not about rushing to the finish line - it’s about building something that lasts.
