Editor’s Note: Today we’re excited to present a post from Jeremy Adams. Jeremy is the President/CEO of Prestige Food Trucks, which is the world’s leading custom food truck manufacturer. In his current role as President/CEO, Jeremy manages dozens of employees, interacts with clients, and maintains a healthy relationship with all of his business partners. Since Prestige, Jeremy has launched many other successful companies.
This industry, the food truck industry, is not an easy one. It’s an industry that business owners, entrepreneurs and chefs alike are trying to conquer. It’s an industry that takes a ton of dedication, motivation and passion. It’s an industry where people do not achieve a massive amount of success overnight (in other words, it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme).
To be a successful mobile kitchen owner, you will have to know the ins and outs of running a business, and you will also have to be a guru in the kitchen. On top of that, you will have to be somewhat of an expert when it comes to social media (or hire someone who is an expert in social media), and you will also have to have all-star customer service. Oh yeah, you will also need to know how to manage employees, because there will come a time and place when you will have to hire an employee or two (perhaps you plan on hiring an employee right out of the gate?).
The amount of knowledge a food truck owner has to know is incredible. Plus, a mobile kitchen owner will also have to put in the long hours — well, if said mobile kitchen owner plans on surviving in this industry, that is.
With all of that said, it’s easy to get discouraged in this industry. We are here to say this: Keep moving
In the spirit of that thinking, it’s time to drop some motivational quotes for food truck owners.

“I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” — Steve Jobs
