Tell us about yourself
My name is Nick, and worked in the corporate world for 10+ years before leaving and working in restaurants. I felt like I was punching the clock and not truly making an impact on others. I decided to leave and work for free in restaurants to immerse myself in the food industry. I was always drawn to cooking and eating healthy. I am extremely satisfied when I am helping others. Throughout the years of my business, we have helped hundreds of people live a healthy lifestyle by providing them with a great product and service.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Increasing sales by 20% in 2021.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being able to grow your client base and keep all of your current clients happy. Also, managing different personalities on your team and understanding what makes everyone tick.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be comfortable with change.
- It's ok to fail but when you do, move on quickly.
- Never make the same mistake twice.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Make sure you are passionate in what you are doing because there are going to be more hard days and days that don't go your way than easy ones. You can push through the hard days if you love what you do, but if not, it's easy to quit.
