In this episode, I wanted to take a step back and open up about the journey that got me to where I am today, because it really has been a journey. As I’m sure anyone understands, there are always going to be struggles when you want to build something for yourself, and for me, those struggles have paid off better than I could have imagined. 

Today I have the freedom to run my own business, the ability to balance work and spending time with my family, and the career that I always dreamed of. I could not be more blessed, but this was not always my reality. I had to start from the bottom in order to build this life for myself, and I will be sharing the full story of that with you. 

As always, my goal in making this podcast is to motivate, educate, and inspire you to take action on your dreams. By telling you about my journey, I hope to encourage you to look at your own path as you work towards your dream, and understand that it’s not about where you are right now or how you started, it’s about how you finish.

In this episode, I wanted to break down and get you guys to really change your mindset about how you look at things as you're spending money, or as you're investing money.

There's a huge difference between investing and spending. ​​We're going to give you three key differences.

First difference - spending is basically you putting your money or time out and getting nothing in return. Investing compounds either your money, it compounds your time and brings you back something in your business. The caveat is, you should be investing on something that you understand and have knowledge about. May it be on cryptocurrency, mutual funds or stocks for example. Educating yourself is very important. 

Now the second difference is, spending is usually more of a short term outcome. And investing is usually a long term outcome. We’re not talking about just money here. This could be time, education and other stuffs as well. Unfortunately, though, for a lot of you, it's in the form of a job. And so you're investing again even more time. And the return on that is very little compared to other ways of doing things like owning your own business, which again, it's an investment of time, and there's money, but your return on your upside is far greater. It's got way more potential. So it all just depends on what you are looking at getting in return and what your expectation is.

Third difference is that spending is usually has little to no plan. While investing is the opposite. You need to plan well and understand where are you going to use your money or time to. Knowing what and when it will yield and grow back into. 

We want to challenge you to start investing your time and your money in yourself, to what to learn new skills, and to build something that's going to return something to you. And again, we believe that that's in a business

Did you know Perfection can really inhibit you to make decisions? Perfection, can really hinder you from taking action. That's really what it comes down to. Because we always want to be excellent. Sounds contradicting right?

When you think that you're going to attain perfection, it's never going to happen. And what it does is, it causes you to sometimes not take action, and really make excuses. Whereas, excellence is not perfection. Excellence is doing everything at your optimal best, all the time, as best as you can, no matter the situation, no matter what you know or what you don't know.

​​And so because we don't want you to make excuses, we want you to take action, we want you to better your life, we want you to actually accomplish what we know you can do. That's why we're making this podcast today.

In starting a personal chef business, it is crucial to know which niche you really want to do given the varieties in the market. There are meal preparation and private events for example, which are 2 totally different things.In this episode, I will be discussing the differences of the two and its pros and cons. I am removing myself as a private chef, but as someone who has tried both and experienced it. Many of you might be asking yourself - I really want to be a personal chef, but I don't know... Am I doing some catering? What if someone wants meal prep? What about meal delivery? I want to answer those questions for you guys today and really give you what I believe are the pros and cons of each. Why I want to give you this is because I really want you to feel like you're confident in your services, to make sure that you're starting off on the right foot, and realizing what it is that you want to do. 

If you are doing things that you don't want to do, I always say this:“What's worse than having a J.O.B - "Just Over Broke" is owning a J.O.B - So we don't want you to feel like that in your own business.

I want to enlighten you on what I've learned about website building, and really about how the messaging and the entire aesthetics are very, very important to your website.

Most of you that have a website, you’re probably really focused on your story and on all those food pictures. Unfortunately, no one really cares. Your website visitors don’t really care about all of that. Most people that are looking at a website are trying to find or figure something out. So it’s important to lay out all the important things for you now so you don’t waste their time!

So I'm going to give you three simple things that your website should have, especially on its landing page or homepage!

When people go to your website, they're literally going to give you five to seven seconds to figure out what you have to offer. You need to portray what it is that you offer. If you do keto recipes or do personal chef services, it should explicitly say and show in your tagline.

So again, going back to the keto-friendly personal chef. If someone is on your website, it should be like looking in the mirror, seeing something that they want to happen in their life from your website. So it resonates very fast in the person's brain - hey, I want to be that person in the picture.

Create that one big button on your website that says “Contact”. It is called CTA or also known as a “call to action”.You need a big call to action right underneath your tagline. So people know how to do business with you. 

The whole purpose of your website is to actually take people that are looking for services, turn them into leads, and then turn them into paying customers. 

Something to keep in mind: “If you confuse your customers, you'll lose your customers.” -

This pandemic really hit us hard... On our jobs, our families, and even our mental health. But what I believe this pandemic has also done is made us see an opportunity to take action.

As a Chefpreneur, I see opportunities everywhere. I'm not waiting for something to happen in order for me to see the opportunity. Sadly, most of us get comfortable doing mundane sequences in our lives. Why? Because of a false mindset. We limit ourselves with the possibilities of what we can do.

I believe that God has a purpose for every single person listening to this podcast. It does take hard work. It takes a lot of effort. But that's the second part of it. That's the action-taking part, which again, I've talked about on my podcast as well. Many of us don't want to take action. And if you want to go back and listen to the podcast, where I teach you:

“The way that you think dictates what you believe in. What you believe dictates what you take action on. You're never gonna take action on something you really don't believe in.”

I want you to start to see that there's so much opportunity around you. Don’t let this pandemic stop you or, don’t let another pandemic or tragedy make you realize the opportunities around you. Take that leap of faith for your chance of financial freedom and being your own boss

It’s all about mindset. This formula is what I used to defeat my self-doubts. You can totally reset your mindset by following this formula:“What you THINK will dictate how and what you BELIEVE.And what you BELIEVE will dictate what you DO.And what you DO dictates your FUTURE!”The realization will come when you do self-checks. This self-reflection will help you understand why and how you think on a daily basis. If you don’t start thinking bigger about yourself, you won’t be able to improve and move forward.There are 3 things that dictate how you think:1. What you see - what you see invokes your thoughts and it can cause you to think either positive or negative.2. What you hear - what you hear sets your mood, thinking, and dictates your thoughts.3. What you read - captivates and inspires you to move and take an action!Remember that making mistakes is also good because you are actually doing and learning something. From a thought, it becomes a belief. Then your actions will follow.

How do you define a Chef? Is it someone who has a degree? Who is experienced? Someone who has the grit to work his or herself up the ladder

What I believe is that being a chef isn’t about all the credentials. It’s all about what being a chef means to you. How being a chef makes a difference in your life or how you've changed someone else’s life with the service you gave?

Ultimately, your guests won’t care about your title, what they'll care about is the service that you will give them, that they feel cared for and cared about. It’s all about the value that you give being a passionate cook!
