No one said following your dreams was going to be easy, yet here you are … trying to make your dreams of becoming a food truck owner come true.
First off, we applaud you. You want to become a food truck owner/chef more than anything else, and you are trying to do exactly that. With that in mind, just because you want to join this industry, that does not mean your journey is going to be easy.
After all, there are a million different things you have to do before you can enter the mobile kitchen industry. For example, creating a business plan, figuring out permits/rules/laws/regulations, and figuring out what you are going to sell (and what your food truck concept is going to be in general). In addition, you need to be trying to decide where you are going to park your truck (spoiler: you can’t just park your food truck anywhere you want), figuring out if you can afford to hire employees right away or not, and deciding on how much you can spend on the foundation of your business, which is your food truck, and the list could go on and on.
Finally, we understand how exciting—and stressful—this process can be. For that reason, we are going to give you a little treat below in the form of motivational quotes. Use this motivation to help you break into the industry, future food truck owners.

Break Into The Food Truck Industry With These Motivational Quotes
15. “At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure.” —Erin Cummings
14. “There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.” —Ray Goforth

11. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” —Steve Jobs
10 “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” —Tony Robbins

6. “Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” —Napoleon Hill

4. “You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.” —George Lorimer
