Are Women Qualified To Be Executive Chefs?

In most households, women do most or all of the cooking.

But in the U.S., only 12.5% of executive chefs are women.

As is the case with many lopsided statistics like that, the disparity is more about lack of opportunity vs lack of ability.

And that lack of opportunity is why hosting your own cooking show is so important.

Instead of fighting to climb someone else's ladder, you can just build your own house.

You don't need anyone's permission or anyone's assessment that you're "the right fit" in order to have your own cooking show.

You can just create your own show and run it how you see fit and use it to build whatever kind of business you want.

Look at Martha Stewart

There's no part of the Martha Stewart Living empire that you cannot create for yourself by hosting your own cooking show and using it as the foundation for building everything else.

That's what Martha Stewart did.

But she had to do it in an era before YouTube or before even the internet.

Look at Tabitha Brown

What did she do to get where she is that you cannot do?

You have a smartphone with a high-quality camera built into it that you can use to record yourself cooking and upload the videos to YouTube where the world can see what you have to offer.

You Control Your Destiny, IF You Choose To Take Control

I don't know who the gatekeepers are that are the reason why only 12.5% of executive chefs are women.

But I do know that those gatekeepers have no power on YouTube.

On YouTube, you can give yourself a cooking show and pay yourself whatever you want.

If that data is correct and San Francisco's average salary for executive chefs is the highest in the nation at $75K/year, here's the simple math on how you can make more than that by hosting a cooking show where you cook just once or twice per week:

  • Create a paid membership community where you charge people just $20/mo to learn how to cook from you.
  • Treat this like a business (because it is) and continue growing your customer base.
  • Out of the 330 million people in the U.S., once you've found just 500 people who want to learn how to cook from you, you'll be making $10K/mo from cooking just one or two meals per week.
  • $20/mo x 500 = $10K/mo

To put that in context, Netflix has over 180 million people in the U.S. paying up every month.

All you need is a couple hundred paying customers for your cooking community to change your life.
