10 Years of Impact: 10 Kitchen-Inspired Lessons from a Decade of Living FRESH
By Frank Kitchen, The Mindset Chef
Intro:
Just like cooking, success in life and business is about preparation, ingredients, and the heat you're willing to add. Over the past 10 years, I’ve built a business that helps individuals and organizations “Cook Up the Results They Hunger For.” Here are the 10 essential lessons I’ve learned—delivered fresh, flavorful, and ready to serve.
1. 🍳 Cook One Meal at a Time
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Focus
Trying to cook everything at once? You'll burn something. Prioritize what is important to you. Finish one dish (or goal) before you start another.
Reflection Question: What’s one “meal” (project/goal) I need to focus on right now?
2. 🧑🍳 Hang Out with Other Chefs
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Resources
Surround yourself with people who are cooking up big things. Growth happens in community, not isolation.
Reflection Question: Who are 3 “chefs” in your life you can learn from or support this month?
3. 🔥 Meals Will Get Burnt
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Honest
Failure isn’t a flaw—it's a flavor enhancer. Learn from your burns and adjust the recipe.
Reflection Question: What “burnt meal” taught you the most in your life or career?
4. 🍽 Be Unapologetic About What You Hunger For
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Focus
Stop whispering your dreams. Speak them with confidence and flavor! If you're afraid to share your dream, you're afraid to live it.
Reflection Question: What dream have you been afraid to say out loud?
5. 💵 Stick to Your Budget
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Resources
You can’t live your dream if you're drowning in debt. Manage your money like a master chef manages their kitchen—wisely. Save and Invest.
Reflection Question: Where can you tighten up your financial “menu” this month?
6. 🧠 Avoid Junk Food (Mental Junk Food)
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Strong
Your mindset is shaped by what you feed it. Cut out the toxic content, criticism, and comparisons.
Reflection Question: What “mental junk food” do you need to cut out of your routine?
7. 🕰 Slow Cooked Meals Taste Good Too
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Honest
The microwave might be quick, but it’s no match for a slow roast. Great results take time. Be patient.
Reflection Question: What goal do you need to give more time to cook?
8. 👅 Have a Group of Taste Testers
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Resources
Get feedback. Are you surrounding yourself with people who tell you what you want to hear, or people who share with you what you need to hear? Trusted voices help refine your recipe for success.
Reflection Question: Who can you ask this week for honest feedback on your work?
9. ❓Ask for the Recipe
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Honest
Ask questions. Always Seek Knowledge. Study ingredients. Learn how others did it. Success leaves clues, not secrets. In our digital world you're one click away from acquiring the knowledge you need to cook up the results you hunger for.
Reflection Question: Who’s doing what you want to do—and what’s one question you can ask them?
10. 🏡 Keep Your Family Involved
F.R.E.S.H. Connection: Honest
They’re not just part of your life—they’re part of your kitchen. Include them in the journey. You can't say you're cooking up results for your family and loved ones if you don't include them in the process.
Reflection Question: How can you involve your family in what you’re cooking up?
