    Special webinar to help you adapt your business plan to address changing consumer norms. Where you will be Redefining the Paradigm in Culinary Businesses: Flourishing in a Rapidly Changing World. Consumers were already moving to living more of their lives at home before the pandemic. Covid rapidly and greatly accelerated that trend as people were forced to stay at home. Studies have shown that it can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days for a person to form a new habit and an average of 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic. We're now 22 months into a new way of living and peoples' habits and expectations have clearly changed. If you haven't adjusted your business model to address a host of new opportunities you are probably missing out. Join Chef Deb Cantrell for a look at these trends and how to shift your business plan to take advantage of a whole new way to look at being a Personal Chef. Chef Deb is a culinary business coach who helps culinary professionals across the country, grow their businesses and create a life they love. She has been in the culinary industry for over 18 years now - she started out as a certified Personal Chef. Since then, Deb has operated a variety of culinary businesses, including a restaurant and an award-winning, 7-figure meal delivery company in Fort Worth, TX.

Through her books, webinars, membership, coaching programs, marketing services and workshops, she has helped culinary business owners clarify their vision, refine their brand, streamline their processes, create consistency of income, and grow!
