The Entrepreneur Mind Set- Bennie Dollard, How to Start a Food Vending Business

This is a video in the series i am calling " The Entrepreneur Mind Set".It features a good friend, Bennie Dollard who owns and operates a thriving food cart business in the heart of downtown Newark, DE very near the campus of the University of Delaware. This video is meant to inspire anyone thinking about getting out there on your own and starting a business.

It is usually busy. Mostly because he remembers you. When I went to the University, he would remember my order and ask "you want your usual?" Hell yeah I want my usual.

[@dufurst]

The circle is a symbol of perfection. This calm businessman went "full circle" with his thinking in order to get what he needed. Instead of getting upset or giving up. The word he puts behind being a chef is really real!

[@pla4825]

His little stand is so damn cute I luv it

[@williefufu2985]

I like the Title, The Entrepreneur Mind Set. As an Employee, you become Robotic like and blind to the Freedom of being in Business on your own.

He's living the dream!!!!

[@tybrady1935]

I love buying food directly from a solo owner/operator. Smart guy to do it all by himself. The expenses are lower so profit can come quicker. Yeah, you can tell that chef would have some awesome sandwiches! I bet if you tasted one it would have all sorts of amazing flavors happening.

[@fleurmartin]

Hard to do things by yourself.

[@montgomerykenisha]

May God Bless both you men with success!!!

Thanks for sharing. I'm with you on why work to death for someone else when you can do your own thing. Any other advice on how many things to sell when you first start? Once again thank you for sharing and love how you keep your stand small and simple!

The "Corona" Sandwich😳 Is it still on the menue?

[@jawadelhosseiny8199]

I was thinking the same thing 😂😂 might need to change the name

[@thetwinspuppetshow71]

This was good.

[@Wisdomseeker1028]

This is insightful but i was more curious on the finances such the monthly expenses, lease or permit fees, the price he bought the stall for, the daily average sales, take home profit etc

[@lildubstack101]

Best best.....great interview I can literally relate my self so much. It will help. Me to start my business. Thanks a lot

[@Omgbakedpotatoes]

11 years WOW

[@humphreysmiggens3881]

If you can justify a week long venture (busy summer beach town, w/ a July 4th teeming with bi-peds), would the legal costs hinder the potential profits? I'm talking wheel barrow operation with proper chill unit and sanitation protocols all on site---...

[@Calferr]

👍🙏🏽

[@markparisien7730]

What size is his cart . Looks small . He does great to serve so many in a small cart . Thanks

[@ginaarmstrong1388]

Did or can you check back w/ this man on his business? Can you Please let me know?

[@cyberfitgroup4978]

Please stop interrupting Sir, this man is really taking our time from his busy day to drop knowledge, otherwise great interview 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@hustlespirit4474]

[@lsaactrevino166]

Make the other video part 2

[@salimsirkhot7493]

Wish good luck to all self runners... But why did I see only customer in 13 mnts time. I m confused bro.. Is it out of business time or not peak hrs or off day or what..

[@edwardvanhook2721]

I'm a cook and I got mad creativity skills. I do appreciate you but I create alot of different sandwiches and dishes and it didn't take me a year.The problem I have with chefs, not including you is the food looks pretty but is plain and tastes bland as hell.

[@waitwhat3353]

Bring your own seasonings

[@TC-kw4xu]

Dude where do you get your profile pic

[@AnthonyBarthelCurbside]

I admire this gentleman and love the idea of an entrepreneur series but I agree with the others, the audio is absolutely horrible. The mic is too close to the shooter and the subject's audio is just awful. I hope you continue this series and wish you much success so that you can afford a better recording setup.

[@brandonhall676]

what type of stand is this unit?

[@BriMichelle024]

Brandon Hall ???? I want to know that too

[@troytetley381]

Entrepreneur is spelt wrong at the very beginning, in your title. Thanks for making the vid though, and Good on you chef. 🏆

[@MrTaps1234]

Great lessons...but why did u position yourself so far away from him

[@boyfrog1080]

I've set up a street vendor business. I sell my own shit. I shit into jars and sell each turd packed for for a healthy profit, i also sell my urine, toenail clippings and sperm.

[@destinee9903]

[@AngelRivera-hf9kx]

Hey, before I even watch the video I read the description and seen you are a local here in Delaware. I myself am a born and raised Delawarean. I am actually getting into the Vending business myself and while searching about my local requirements and overall tips on how to get started I came across this video, I cant wait to watch it and if we could exchange emails if thats ok with you my guy that would be great.

[@birdman7941]

Good video but he needs a microphone

[@mocrosnuremberg4444]

💢The outside display of menu is not organized as well he need a fridge for that drink and sauce in the outside , that's just a tip from me ** and not too much singnes you not a post office . good luck

[@prettyparadoxicalwoman8285]

How much does he make a month is it enough to live off of.

[@andrewdavis3736]

Not enough to live off that's why he's been doing it 11 years in the same spot 🙄😂
