Top 3 Value Bombs
1. It is supposed to feel like hell, like a grind, or be exhausting. There will be days that you will be unsure; Friday nights that you wish you didn't do this... It's fine. Be optimistic. Going to bed is a huge problem-solver. Wake up and you're fine again. It's part of the process. Just keep going.
2. As a marketer, you get to throw everything on the wall and see what sticks.
3. Ghost kitchens also give restaurants the ability to explore new areas. They give new entrepreneurs and chefs who can't open their own business the opportunity to own one.
