This memoir is about my culinary adventures leading up to, during, and after the building of the Phat Daddy’s food brand. It is important to note that these are true accounts to include literal blood, sweat, tears, anxiety, and depression throughout developing my business. While reading, it is important to take notes and highlight the recommendations throughout this “Recipe.” These recommendations WILL be very beneficial to you and your business adventures, as they were of mine. The importance of this memoir is to help upcoming business minded individuals to see a successful blueprint in how I started my culinary business. I hope this information will be useful to you and help you prosper just like it did for my family and I. Before you sit down and start reading, I encourage you to get 2 pencils and a highlighter so that you can take notes of some very important information that I will teach to you. It is imperative for you to go into this reading knowing that it is not easy to start a business, but it is very rewarding. You should also note that it is very time consuming and stressful at times, but with perseverance you can and will make it come to fruition. You must be dedicated to your ideas and stick to your “Recipe” for future success. Do not look at this as a quick money-making race (scheme) but a steady marathon, which is an adventure in its own right. Once you are in favor of these things, sit back, relax, and enjoy the reading.
