Catering Business Start-Up

Monday, December 24th, 2007

There has never been a better time to invest in a catering business start-up. According to the National Restaurant Association, social caterers are one of the fastest growing segments of the food industry.

Catering is a highly competitive field in most areas of the country. However, if you understand your market and provide clients with the types of food and service they desire, you can develop a loyal customer base.

A catering business start-up requires both money and time. The first thing you’ll want to check into is determining what types of credentials are required by your state, city, and county. At minimum you will need to obtain certification in food handling and safety. This is typically provided through the Board of Health. You’ll also need to obtain state and local licenses in order to sell food to the public.

If you wish to succeed in life then all you need is determination and a strong character and you will be able to achieve virtually whatever you want to achieve in life.

How to Promote A Concert

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

No one ever learned how to become a concert promoter except through trial and error. This is especially true in underground music scene. I actually started out as a DJ. I made some good tunes, but no one ever listened to me. In retrospect, I was not extremely talented, but some of my stuff was quite danceable. When my friends told me one day “you need to learn how to promote your music, or you will never succeed.” I took his message to heart, and devoted myself to promotion. When I finally gave up music, realizing that I would never be very talented, I still had that promotion bug. I was always trying to bring local Djs into the scene. Finally, I got a big break.
