Most Chefs think if you cook great meals your business is going to work, but is it?

In this episode, we talk about finding your "enemy" in business — and why it’s one of the smartest moves you can make. For personal chefs, it might be the big convenience meal companies: overpriced, under-portioned, and still requiring you to cook. When you take a stand against what your ideal client is already frustrated by, you don’t just market your service — you rally a movement. Learn how to position your offer as the no-brainer alternative and build loyalty by throwing stones at the right giant.
