Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jason Carron, Owner of Avery Restaurant Consulting, located in Reading, MA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I'm a restaurant consultant. Think of Bar Rescue, Restaurant impossible, etc. I help the dreams come true. Find locations and create your concept from foundation to full service. If you're in trouble, I save you. This ranges from costs being all out of sorts to owners never working in the business before. Or simple menu development, training, etc.

Tell us about yourself

In my hometown, I met one of the best restaurateurs ever, and he brought me into his world. From the dish pit, I began. I then went on to be a part of some new openings, and I couldn't love that rush anymore. Went to the CIA, spent some time in Italy, and worked in the corporate world for 10yrs. Now been on my own for 6!!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Bringing restaurants in the red to profit. Each time I do it, I'm so extremely proud of them for asking for help. Each time is better than the rest.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

You don't work, and you don't eat. Push constantly. There are no days off.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. You're going to fail. Just don't make the same mistake twice.
  2. Patience. Patience. Patience.
  3. Take care of your head, body, and soul. Heal your wounds (either emotionally or physically).

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

The hardest thing to overcome is the negative thoughts. Be headstrong and discipline yourself to only attract positive thoughts.
