Episode 2: Getting to know Chef D✨
This year I am working on a lot of flaws I have as a business owner, not beating myself up for having them like I was doing before but analyzing in full detail the areas that I am strong and weak. I will build systems to help me grow better and allow room for clarity, honesty and accountability.
I am going to work on communication skills because I suck at expressing myself, saying no, sharing the good and bad and communicating through the process sometimes. I am locked in on event days that I barely look at my phone…the preparation is long and my goal always is to succeed & to work until everything is finished so I am hard to get in touch with, I admit it.
Punctuality is a big one. I try my best and over the years I have grown tremendously in my punctuality but it is still a big problem. I can plan ahead, start early and somehow things just don’t go as planned. The understanding I gained is that I need more hands! I need a team! It’s so much you can manage and accomplish with a micro team or a solo team. My undiagnosed ADD, unexpected stress of the day, kitchen hazards, routine kitchen clean up, packing up for transport, unexpected runs to the store when curbside messes up….so much affects my time management and punctuality. I sometimes want to cry but we keep it pushing and try to do better each and every time! So I want to express how proud I am of growing and still growing.
I’m proud to acknowledge my faults all the time but I do want to share these with you too, not just internalize and be very harsh to myself. To truly understand that it only gets better and there’s others going through the same thing😅
