Moving Forward...Good things coming


Good morning everyone!  First, let me say that my next video is almost done.  I do wish I could get them done quicker, but I am the one and only shooting, editing, etc, so it takes a little longer than I would like.  But patience is a virtue, and a virtue never hurt you!

Yesterday I had a small event to cater and the feedback was fantastic.  It was only for 30 people, but those 30 had nothing but good things to say.  If you recall in my first video I said that even though I'm not a millionaire I consider myself and my company to be very successful because I have only satisfied customers and that's what matters most.

Now onto my next exciting venture.  These bottle pictured above are a representation of the next step for JBistro Style, and I am beyond excited about it.  I can't give you full disclosure, but I will say that I am working on bottling a product that I'm hoping to sell.  I will start by doing this at Traders Village and see how well it goes (Market research) and then hopefully pitch it to grocery stores.

I want to remind all of my readers to go for it!  Whatever your dream is, just do it.  Recently I was reminded of this by an incredible woman, Martie Duncan (pictured below), the runner-up of last season's Next Food Network Star!  It was so exciting meeting her and I asked her if she had any words of wisdom for me.  She took both my hands and faced me and simply said, "Never give up because the people you surpass did, and never lose confidence.  I applied for Food Network Star with no culinary experience at all and I came in 2nd place out of 60,000+ applicants."  Those are the most inspiring words anybody could have ever said to me and I will remember them forever, and I hope you will too!

See y'all very soon with the next video!  Want a hint about it?  It features my garden!
