Health-healing Meal Prep - Gorgeous Green Chef
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food service but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nichole Langford, Owner of Gorgeous Green Chef, located in Alpharetta, GA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business is a personal chef and catering service. My customers are individuals, families, and businesses seeking specialty diet meal prep services and catering for special events.
Tell us about yourself
Entrepreneurship was always the path for me because I am a self-starter and a leader. I decided to take a chance on myself and start my company to offer health-healing meal prep and embrace my love for food art with catering services. I am motivated by legacy. It is my desire to create a legacy for myself and my family to stand upon for generations to come.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is being a 1st generation business owner. This is not the path for the weak, lazy, or impatient. It takes courage, and I am proud that I have been given the opportunity to be the first in my family to do so.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I would say for me my most complex challenge is believing in myself. This field is so saturated that I have often struggled to believe that I can fit into it and grow. I have had to develop a great deal of self-confidence and mental maturity. Everything does not always go as planned, and in the beginning, I took everything personally. I have learned to relax and to think positively no matter what.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Plan financially first.
- Be an expert or hire the experts.
- Believe in yourself.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
So many people are content with mediocrity and accept challenges as defeat. I want to encourage readers who have a dream but have difficult circumstances to always seek The Most High for guidance and to honestly believe in themselves. Your faith will take you places you have never imagined, but you have to be willing to take risks.
