I know it's been pretty quiet since my accident and in full transparency I don't know if I will continue the food truck at this time.
Time off healing has given me reflection and clarity on the difficulties of owning and operating this business mostly on my own. I have my share of help but at least 80% of everything that happens day to day behind the scenes and on the truck is ME. Running it part time is still a full time job. It's mentally and physically taxing without more support and to be totally honest I'm scared of lighting the propane after 2 different incidents myself. I also really despise hauling and parking the trailer 🤣😐🤐 IYKYK. But I LOVE cooking and I LOVE making people happy thru food. That alone has kept me going.
However; Along with my new Real Estate business I don't feel it's fair to either business to not give 150%. I have painstakingly debated this with myself for weeks, praying for a sign of what to do. This truck has been my dream for so long and I do not make any decision like this lightly. I am also incredibly stubborn 💁🏻♀️ this is my name and reputation and I don't want to do it half 🍑
So Im giving myself a little more time to process and decide the next steps of keeping for special events or selling the food truck. There are other obstacles at force here as well including not having a reliable and full time vehicle to transport it after the Pickup broke down. And having to keep it all fully insured even if I don't run it full time.
Long explanation I know, but my customers deserve the truth always. No matter what endeavors I pursue in life please always know I make every decision with careful consideration. I have loved serving Siouxland more than you know and I am so very proud of my team and myself and how we have handled adversity thus far. If I have disappointed you I am deeply sorry.
Stay tuned and stay safe my friends 🫶🩵
