All of Suzanne’s Specialties industrial products have been verified by the NonGMO Projec t family who owns it Early star tup struggles and difficulties become ingrained in its culture and fixed in its corporate identity My father ’s struggles in establishing our company set our culture at Wisdom Natural Brands®, makers of SweetLeaf® Stevia. When my father, James May, first introduced stevia to the U.S. market 40 years ago, he fought an uphill battle. Simply put, large ar tificial sweetener companies did not want him to succeed Stevia was a plant from S outh America and naturally 30 times sweeter than sugar without calor ies To the growing ar tificial sweetener industr y of the 1980s, stevia was “enemy No 1 ” Nevertheless, my father persevered amidst challenges to ultimately succeed in establishing a vibrant natural sweetener industr y What constantly propelled him was his cr ystal- clear vision of what a future without sugar or ar tificial sweeten- stainless steel bar rels expanded metal The three sizes of table top chile roasters are designed for those customers with a need for a smaller roasting batch.

I now find myself tasked with the challenge and oppor tunity to build upon that vision and move my father ’s company – my family ’s company – into the future
Evolving your longtime family business into the future presents many challenges and oppor tunities I n the last years of my father ’s life, we of ten discussed how to move the company forward, how to evolve it, and at the same time stay true to the legac y he built He was ver y clear that the vision that would guide me – and our company – into the future had to be my own I decided my primar y task was to ensure the founding principles and values of the company remained while we embraced new science and technologies, confronted a changing competitive landscape, explored new markets and channels and provided new wellness options for our consumers.

Suzanne’s can ser vice the needs of a household, restaurant, small baker y or and continuing vision remain. Founders often identify ver y strongly with their businesses This can lead to overconfidence bordering on arrogance that makes it difficult to notice changes in the competitive landscape, or even to hold onto favorite products that have long since lost their competitive edge In our company, past innovations gave us our preeminent market position many years ago, but those innovations were copied and sometimes eventually bettered We had to accept the new competitive landscape and alter the paradigm we operated in, to create new value and establish a new competitive advantage different from the one my father created many years ago
Finally, I have noticed that oppor tunities for growth and expansion as you move into the future can seem ubiquitous.

S ometimes those few goals demanding a weight of effor t now are the prover bial “ low-hanging fruit ” that will ser ve to prepare your company for something greater I t is said that innovation is the lifeblood for all business, but the key for family business is to stay true to the founding pr inciples and values your or iginal consumers and par tners latched onto, even as you update the founding vision for the future.
