We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Joseph Johnson. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Joseph below.
Hi Joseph, thanks for joining us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
Its simple. Don’t ever GIVE UP. I think the issue is that small business owners encounter alot of obstacles that will stop them from achieving their goal. Every business goes through obstacles and even the most successful fortune 500 companies went through the same.
Learn from the mistakes and change from it and continue to grow to be the best you can be for your business. It doesn’t happen over night, so always keep pushing, take advice from other successful business owners and read.
Joseph, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My love for cooking and seeing that smile on people faces when I serve them a plate of my good delicious food is what got me here today.
I am a personal/ private Chef and small caterer for any type of event you may have or need. I offer different packages from brunch style menus to dinner menus and also private dinings for intimate couples where I offer a 3 or 4 course menu.
I like to provide and do all the work for al my clients that ever may book me. I do create menus for my client events but I always like them to be involved if they ever have special requests or menu in mind, all my clients have to do is provide me with number of people, day of booking and time, place, and what type of food they are looking for. Not only do I cater but I also give the luxury of coming to a clients home who would like to have a private chef cook in a full equipped kitchen with pots and pans in front of the people.
Im proud of the accomplishments and events I was able to be apart of and now im focusing on growing to do more events, have clients from more states than I do now and just grow my brand. Soon come I will be coming out with my own seasonings for different foods, so be on the look out on my social media.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Social Media. Believe it or not everyone uses social media and always on their phone. Social Media is more important than a business card. Using Reels and using correct hashtags will grow your posts on social media websites. Even current clients is effective because once you provide that good service they will share your name and social media to their people and so on. So remember first impressions are everything.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
Yes there are a few books that impacted my management and entrepreneurial thinking and those books are •The 4-Hour work week Escape 9-5, Live anywhere and join the new rich by Timothy Ferriss,
•How to Listen, Hear, & Validate by Patrick King
•Everyone Communicates, Few Connect: What most Effective People do differently by John C. Maxwell
