Breaking Through the Ceiling: How Building an Online Community and Course Clarified Our Mission at W
For two solid years, we felt stuck. Our gross revenue plateaued, and no matter how much effort we poured into our work, we couldn't seem to break through the invisible ceiling holding us back. That feeling of stagnation? It was a weight I carried daily.
But everything changed when we decided to expand Wylder Space by building an online community and launching a course. What started as a way to try something new became a game-changer—not only for our business but for my clarity as a leader and entrepreneur.
The Breakthrough Moment
Creating the online community forced me to take a step back and reassess the mission of Wylder Space. Why did we start this journey? Who were we trying to help? What impact did we want to make? By answering these questions for our members, I found the answers for myself.
Suddenly, the bigger picture became crystal clear. Our mission wasn’t just about delivering exceptional food and service. It was about cultivating connection, sharing knowledge, and inspiring others to live more intentionally—both in the kitchen and beyond. This macro vision gave us the direction we needed to innovate and grow.
New Skills, New Streams, New Success
Through this process, I learned skills I never thought I’d need—building and nurturing an online space, crafting course content, and even managing digital marketing campaigns. These efforts not only sharpened my abilities but also helped us create two entirely new revenue streams.
The online course has allowed us to package our expertise in a way that serves people no matter where they live, while the community has become a vibrant hub of connection and support, turning members into loyal advocates for our brand. Together, they’ve breathed fresh energy into our business and helped us move beyond the plateau.
Lessons in Leadership
Along the way, I’ve learned what it truly means to lead—not just my team but an entire community. It’s about listening, staying adaptable, and staying rooted in the values that brought us here in the first place. Leadership isn’t just about driving results; it’s about inspiring trust, fostering growth, and creating a shared vision.
Where We’re Headed
This new leg of our business has not only broken the glass ceiling but given us a roadmap for the future. Wylder Space is no longer just a catering company—it’s a community, a movement, and a mission to empower others to live and eat with intention.
To those who feel stuck: sometimes the solution isn’t in working harder—it’s in stepping back, getting clear on your purpose, and daring to try something new. For us, that’s made all the difference.

I'm Molly Bravo, and just like you, I live and breathe the culinary world.
For years, I hustled hard—pouring everything I had into my business. But no matter how much time and effort I put in, I was drowning in financial struggles, managing constant chaos, and working seven days a week just to make ends meet. It felt like I was always one step away from losing everything.
In 2019, I hit rock bottom. After a grueling wedding season, I found myself facing massive refunds, and for the first time, I seriously considered giving up on my dream. I felt defeated, exhausted, and unsure if I had what it took to succeed.
But here’s the thing: I didn’t quit. Instead, I embraced the discomfort, sought help from experts, and learned how to run my business in a way that didn’t run me into the ground.
With time, dedication, and the right guidance, I completely transformed my business.
Today, we’ve cut costs, streamlined our operations, and built a loyal team that allows me to focus on growing our brand and leading my company to new heights.
The reason I’m sharing this with you is simple: I’ve been where you are, and I know how overwhelming it feels. I created The Entrepreneurial Spirit because I want to help people like you—people like me—turn their struggles into successes.
If you're ready to reclaim your time, build a brand that reflects your passion, and finally create the freedom you’ve been craving, I invite you to join our community. Together, we’ll build your brand, tell your story, and share your vision with the world.
Let’s make this year your turning point.
xoxo,
