More Tips In The News

Check out a few more tidbits to help you build your business and learn!

Small Biz Marketing: Spending More, But Still Clueless—Even About AI

A recent Fast Company report shines a revealing light on small business trends many personal chefs will recognize all too well. Despite nearly 40% of owners raising their marketing budgets, only 18% feel “very confident” their efforts are paying off—down from 27% a year earlier. That uncertainty persists even as more chefs and other entrepreneurs explore AI tools for copywriting and visuals, hoping to boost visibility and bookings. It’s a powerful wake-up call: investing in marketing is one thing—knowing what’s working (and why) is where the art — and the ROI — really lies.

How Local Flavor in Your Messaging Can Drive Bookings—Without Breaking Your Budget

A recent article in Entrepreneur spotlights a marketing strategy that’s not only budget-friendly but essential for small businesses: localization. Customizing your messaging, SEO keywords, and online presence to reflect your actual service area can help potential clients see your catering value—be it “Ellijay private chef” or “North Georgia culinary styling”—rather than getting lost in the vast sea of search results. Local relevance not only boosts discoverability, but also builds trust and loyalty—especially against bigger, less personal competitors.

Just 6 Minutes a Day Can Boost Your Brainpower—and Your Culinary Creativity

A recent study shared by Inc. reveals that just six to ten minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise—think fast walking, slow jogging, or climbing stairs—can measurably improve working memory, decision-making, planning, and overall cognitive sharpness. That’s powerful news for personal chefs, where quick thinking, menu planning, and multitasking are daily demands. Carrying a skillet and your mental A-game? A few minutes of movement might be the secret ingredient to staying sharp and creative behind the stove.

When You Move Matters Less Than You Think—Consistency Is the Key

According to a fresh EatingWell report, research shows that whether you work out in the morning, afternoon, or evening, the real heart health payoff comes from making movement part of your daily routine. Preventive cardiologist Dr. Elizabeth Klodas and registered dietitian Sheri Gaw both stress that sticking with exercise—rather than the timing—has the greatest impact on reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and premature death. For personal chefs balancing lunch prep, client meetings, and dinner service, this means you can choose the time that fits your rhythm (even a brisk kitchen break counts) and still get real cardiovascular benefits.
