Cubish basic introduction (book lol)

I guess I will introduce myself. I own Cubish. Several people on this community might know me from Knoxville, TN where we started this incarnation of this business. 15 years doing Cubish. We are Cuban Irish Fusion. And hot dogs of course. We are 100% debt free, no house, car, credit card, or any bills other than the ones that never leave, (death and taxes). I got a culinary degree from Arts Institute of Atlanta in 96' and after a decade making others wealthy with my talents, bought 2 big trucks and ran flatbed freight for 2 million miles. After a bankruptcy, a violent and 200k divorce, met the love of my life and got off the road, gave up my CDL and sold everything. I never had a desire to own a food truck. Bought a King Kiosk from Ben. Started this concept, and outpaced most of the growing food truck scene in Knoxville. Bought a run down house, completely remodeled it myself, sold it as Covid ramped up and doubled my money. Wallah, debt free. We moved to New Mexico in 2020 started Cubish again here again. I was one of the only vendors not scared of a virus in this state, and through loyalty, dependability, and hard work (and being very shrewd) got to a point where people call me, we no longer set up roadside. Actually US because my wife is bookkeeper, keeper of the schedule, and taker of the money at gigs, while I network, book gigs, and make the food. Honestly, there is much more freedom and $$$$ in catering and events. We spend our off time going on cruises, traveling overseas, spending countless time in our commercial gym, and enjoying the fruits of our labors. I also build large carts. (Not advertising on here Ben lol). All that fluff Ben spouts is true. Success is usually deterred by oneself. Motivated people will absolutely crush it in this industry. You will just find yourself asking yourself ALOT, "why didn't I start this sooner?"
