Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Chris Becker, Owner of Cookinpellets.com, located in Racine, WI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are the top Premium BBQ Grilling Pellets in the US and abroad. We only make premium BBQ Grilling pellets; that is our ONLY business!
Tell us about yourself
This is my 6th business! I have taken over or bought into many businesses that needed new input and life; after I renew the business, I sell it. Cookinpellets.com is my first business with my wife, and we work together every day! It is our FUN business; talking with customers on how to make their food/grill experience better is always FUN!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Being able to share our thoughts and successes with our kids. Teaching them that sharing knowledge and being philanthropists are much more rewarding than just doing business on their own.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Sometimes making time for family but never forgetting the time HAS to be made!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in you and your product.
- Look for help; you do NOT know it all.
- If you work hard, it will come...it isn't easy, but anything worth it never is!
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I am rich in family and friends. Money will come with hard work. Friends will stay when you are down, and true family will always help when you need to get up.
