We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful KIMBERLY WHITE. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with KIMBERLY below.
KIMBERLY, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
My family of course I come from a long line of hard-working people. We would do anything it took to survive. Sure, I had help along the way but down deep we just got it done.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
What I do for a living is always fun and exciting. I get to meet some fascinating people I get to cook which is one of my favorite things to do. I can reinvent myself every day. Any day being my own boss, I can go home and change the whole damn menu and start over fresh the next day if I choose to. My restaurant is a American diner lots of classics. I just make food that people want to eat fairly simple and straightforward. It’d be a place I of course would want to go because I just want to have something delicious to eat. I keep it small and manageable. I have a small staff, a small location, a relatively small menu. It may be actually too big for my location but I work on pairing it down. Small grill. Not very much storage space to keep ingredients moving.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Some qualities and skills that I possess that I think kept my business going for almost 30 years now are my stubbornness fact that I do not give up regardless of what happens, my work ethic, my ability to talk to anybody and everybody all day long. My organizational skills and the fact that I like to work.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
When I become overwhelmed I usually of course just take a deep breath, assure myself that everything’s going to work out and break it down step by step and just take it one day at a time. Really one minute at a time and don’t go too far in the future and certainly don’t speculate on what may happen or what will happen because I don’t know what’s going to happen.
