Today we’d like to introduce you to Nichole Langford.
Hi Nichole, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my journey as a chef by working as a dishwasher. I believe that no matter how small any position may seem, it’s best to give is your best and that’s what I did. I started as a dishwasher and quickly worked my way up to cooking positions while attending culinary school. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in 2012, I was able to gain experience working as a private chef here in Atlanta. I decided then that the private sector was the best place in the culinary industry for me. After 8 years of working as a private chef for some of Atlanta’s affluent residents, I decided to take a leap of faith and start Gorgeous Green Chef.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
There isn’t any part of my life that I can say has been a smooth road for me. I think that for me my biggest struggle has been believing in myself because of the cards I was dealt in life. It’s not easy to believe that you can do something no one else around you has ever done before. There is no road map or any person there to guide you in many of the important choices you will need to make. I have had to learn how to trust my inner voice and trust the path that God has placed me on. I have witnessed that no matter what outside obstacles I have had to face, my biggest challenge has been trusting that I am more than capable to overcome and achieve what I set my mind to accomplish. Self-confidence has been a major focus for me on my journey in life and as an entreprenuer.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Gorgeous Green Chef specializes in gourmet, specialty meal prep, and catering services. My meal prep services are targeted at customers who need healthy meals to sustain well-being. My preferred clients are those who have limitations on what they can eat due to underlying health conditions or food restrictions. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to all diet types while offering various cuisines and delicious foods. My clients never get bored and I am just as open to learning as I am to cooking according to my expertise.
I am most proud that my brand has and continues to operate ethically with customer satisfaction as my top priority.
What matters most to you?
What matters most to me is my family. Everyone deserves to be surrounded by people who genuinely love and support them and would do anything to see them win. My family is the push behind why I work so hard. I am working to leave a legacy for the generations after me. I want them to understand that sacrifices must be made to accomplish anything great. My life is not only about me but those who I keep close to me. The numbers are few, but the love is great.
