How You Know You Were Born To Be A Food Truck Owner

• You Are Passionate About Food And People
• You’ve Always Wanted To Own Your Own Business
• Famous Chefs Are Your Heroes
• Hard Work Doesn’t Scare You

You Are Passionate About Food And People

Above all else, you are passionate about food and people. You have always wanted to be a chef and making people happy has always been one of your main goals.

Maybe you just loved to cook food for family gatherings, or big parties in general. Nonetheless, there you were, cooking up a storm in the kitchen in hopes of making a large amount of people happy thanks to your amazing recipes.

In the food truck industry, if you don’t have a passion for food and people, then, well, you are likely not going to enjoy your job/career very much. That is what this industry is all about. Sure, there is more to being a mobile catering owner than making food, but that is what you are going to be doing for a good majority of your time (side note: you will eventually hire employees to help you with the cooking).

Regardless, if you have always been passionate about food and people, then you were born to be a food truck owner.

You’ve Always Wanted To Own Your Own Business

Have you always wanted to own and operate your own business? If so, then you were probably born to be a food truck owner — you know, if you love food and people on top of that.

If you own a food truck, then you are 100 percent a business owner. However, this means you also need to be business savvy as well. Unfortunately, not every chef who has entered this industry can consider themselves business savvy, and that’s one of the main reasons why people fail as a truck owner.

Cooking food and serving customers is only half the battle. If you want to achieve success as a kitchen truck owner, then you are also going to have to know the ins and outs of running a business. So, if you have always wanted to own your own business, then not only is a food truck the perfect opportunity for you, but you likely were born to run a food truck business (as long as food and people are your jams).

Famous Chefs Are Your Heroes

Were famous chefs like Bobby Flay and Gordon Ramsay — just to name a couple — your heroes growing up? Perhaps you always admired the work that a local chef did. Nonetheless, famous chefs have and will always be your heroes. These are the people you look up to, who you strive to be like.

Business owners might look up to people like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, etc., and athletes might look to Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Peyton Manning for inspiration, but your heroes can be found in the kitchen.

If this sounds familiar/you can relate, then you were likely born to be a food truck owner.

Hard Work Doesn’t Scare You

Okay, so hard work is one of the keys to success, and you need to incorporate it if you plan on achieving your goals, but you have to be a hard worker if you are going to make it as a mobile kitchen owner. So while this trait can be found in many different professions, you have to have it if you plan on making your mark in this industry.

Food truck owners not only put in long hours (double-digit hours every day is part of the gig), but they are persistent, passionate and determined. There is no guarantee that a mobile kitchen owner is going to succeed, but that surely shouldn’t stop you from pursuing your dreams.

If hard work doesn’t scare you, then you might as well have been born to be a food truck owner, because you are going to work harder than you have ever worked before.

Were you born to be a food truck owner? Can you relate to any of these signs? If not, and if you still want to pursue a career in this industry, then that is perfectly fine. Everyone is different. Of course, at the very least, you should love food and people, because you are going to be serving food to people every single day.
