674: How to Make $500/day as a Personal Chef

The Side Hustle Show

About
$500/day doing work you love?

Let’s talk about it.

In today's topic, we'll look at the delicious business of being a personal chef, with someone who’s been doing it for 25 years and turned her skill into a six-figure solopreneur business.

Jessica Leibovich, from ChefJessica.com, didn’t start off aiming for this. She was working in catering, young, overworked, and — like a lot of us at some point — burnt out. But one suggestion changed her life: "Have you ever thought about being a personal chef?" she was asked.

So not only was she good at it, but her first client paid her more in a day than she used to make in a week. And she's been doing it ever since and sharing it with her students through her Prosperous Personal Chef’s Success Suite.
