    About this Episode

    Chef Andres Hinojosa starts this week’s podcast by answering a question e-mailed by Tiffany, one of the members of the Chefpreneur Movement Facebook Group. The question is: “Where and how do I find clients consistently? And how do I find good or right clients?” Upon starting up a business, it is important that you know your vision specifically along with your niche to know exactly where you want to be headed and what kind of client you want to target. Once these are set and determined, the easiest and fastest way to get clients is that go to the services that they use the most. Making these Strategic Partnerships will help you get the ”right” clients who are willing to pay you what you are worth without sacrificing your brand. Listen to this week’s podcast to learn more, but please send any questions you have to podcast@chefpreneurprogram.com or join the Chefpreneur Movement Facebook Group and post questions there as well.

    About Chef Andres:

    ========================

    Chef Andres was raised with a passion for food, instilled by his grandma, “Ya-Ya,” who showed Andres so much love through the food she cooked. Warm pots of soup and fresh baked bread always inspire nostalgic memories for Andres. But entering the industry after graduating culinary school, Andres found that the fine dining scene was far from the warm memories that Ya-Ya cultivated. Food wasn’t love, it was just thankless hard work. Working in kitchens of high-end hotels like The Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, and Grand Del Mar Hotels in Chicago, San Francisco, and San Diego, Chef Andres was paying his dues like so many in the industry do—working long hours, getting yelled at by stressed-out bosses, and being constantly underappreciated and exposed to the toxic culture that underlies the restaurant industry. But he didn’t want to be just another stressed-out head chef making life miserable for young cooks working their way through the ranks. Instead, he branched out on his own to start his own business as a personal chef. 

    Now Chef Andres is able to share the love his grandmother shared with him through the foods he loves. His business now handles 30-40 cook events per month, and he doesn’t even have to do any more of the cooking! He’s able to pay his team well and give them the lives they deserve while enjoying more flexibility to share his passion and knowledge with fellow chefs by launching Chefpreneur. After creating a business and a lifestyle that he once thought was impossible, Chef Andres feels as though he’s been called upon by God to share this knowledge with all the cooks and chefs out there who need it. Outside of work, Andres savors the freedom he now has to spend plenty of time with his wife and five daughters at their home near Atlanta, GA.

    What is the 80/20 Rule?

    What is the 80/20 Rule?

    As a Chefprenuer, people often think that my job is 100% about the food. They think that if the food is amazing, the clients will enjoy it and want to book me again for another meal. Though the quality of the food is important, it’s actually only about 20% of what makes my clients more than happy to book me again or recommend me to a friend. 

     

    So, what is that other 80%? What could possibly be more important than the food I make? 

    In this episode, I’m going to teach you the 80/20 rule, where 20% of your service is focused on the food, and the other 80% is focused on your client’s experience. That 80% covers everything from how easily clients can contact you, to your attitude and behavior when you’re serving them. 

     

    Listen in for my expert advice on how to effectively use the 80/20 rule to focus on your servitude, humility, and passion, and bring in new clients that will keep coming back for more!

    Is Branding Important?

    Is Branding Important?

    When we think of branding for a business, we often think of logos, colors and images that make our company unique and appeal to potential clients. All of these aspects are important, but there is so much more to branding than these visual and physical pieces. In order to really connect with your clients, you have to understand your message and what makes your business stand out from the rest. 

    In this episode, I wanted to do a deep dive into what branding is and why it plays such a vital role in the success of your business. This episode is a can’t miss, especially for my fellow entrepreneurs and chefpreneurs out there!

    Blazing Your Own Trail with Jordan Mendoza

    Blazing Your Own Trail with Jordan Mendoza
    In this episode, I am excited to be joined by ​​a good friend of mine, Jordan Mendoza, the CEO and founder of Blaze Your Own Trail Consulting, and also a fellow podcaster! Jordan’s company works to create high impact sales and marketing strategies to help businesses generate leads and grow with success. His long experience with entrepreneurship allows him to have a deeper understanding of the connections we have with our clients and customers as business owners.   

    Jordan’s entrepreneurial journey takes him from working a regular 9 to 5 to get by while trying to start a business, to officially becoming a full time entrepreneur last year. Jordan’s story is an example of the success that our Chefprenuers work towards as they leave behind the job that doesn’t fulfill them to runa business that will give them the freedom to get whatever they want out of life. 

     

    Jordan and I talk about the importance of getting to know your customers and clients, why LinkedIn is such a great tool for business connections, and you’ll also get to hear more of Jordan’s story and see how he knew he was meant to be an entrepreneur.
