I WAS A RESTAURANT ENTREPRENEUR – THIS BLOG IS MY THERAPY

“Head’s on straight and that’s all that matters”

King of El Paso” by Boz Skaggs


I was a restaurateur and after these many years I can proudly state that my head is definitely on straight. I’ve come to terms with my past ventures that didn’t go the way I planned. “Failure” is a difficult word to accept at any time.

Fortunately, I was able to get back on my feet in my mid-30s by landing a career with a school district as a business manager.

There was enough stability that I still dabbled in foodservice (school cafeteria and catering) and even tried one last venture creating a restaurant board game in my spare time.


Do I need a therapist?

I joke that I have a therapist to help me with my restaurant issues/demons.  Well, my therapist is this blog.  Relating my thoughts and knowledge of being a restaurant entrepreneur, to hopefully benefit others, is part of the healing process.

And it will be more meaningful than what most professional counselors could ever offer.
