Poolside Cooking Show! A cooking show based out of Va Beach. We film every week. 5. Surround yourself around those that want to see you do well. Believe in the process, always know who’s in charge…God! 6. Anyone can work hard, but when you work hard for a purpose that’s when you see results. Taking everything you’ve l learned and built to the next generation is extremely important, because what you started doesn’t end with you. Now it’s passed on for generations to come. 7. 8. Make sure to get all the proper documents and paperwork to start your business. Business License, LLC, EIN Number, etc…anyone can open a business, but with proper paperwork your business is now official. 9. Poolside Cooking was a GOD movement. It started through the pandemic. The show now airs on WGNT27 in Hampton roads, CW12 in Richmond and Roku worldwide. The show is not just a cooking show but a variety show. We highlight different business owners, politicians, non profit organizations and more. We also close the show out with a local artist performing. What makes the show special and unique is that out of all the cooking shows that air on TV, no one has a cooking show cooking poolside. We became the first in the United States to air a cooking/variety show by the POOL on the outdoor Kitchen! 10. I thank god for allowing me to open these business. The key now is to KEEP IT. My daughter and I will continue to PROVIDE and BUILD a wonderful service in our community. But most importantly…continue teaching and being an example for the next generation of upcoming Entrepreneurs!
