What Has Been the Response of the Users/Consumers Towards Your Venture?
When I started my small business as a personal chef, I had no idea the impact my services would have on my clients. For them to have ready-made healthy meals to feed their families was such a huge help in their busy lives. I started this business during the pandemic, and I quickly saw the need to provide this service to those who would be affected the most—families of young children, the elderly, the unwell, busy professionals, etc. The response I received from my clients was a driving factor to keep going!

We need to support, uplift, and be mentors to them. We need to continue to show them the way and that it is within reach. Dream big!
