A message from our founders In 2010, I launched my Personal Chef business.   I wanted to help busy families lead healthier lives by providing fresh home cooked meals.  After just one year, my hard work paid off and I've been fully booked ever since. My clientele includes families, business professionals, seniors, celebrities, and professional athletes.

For the past few years, I've mentored many personal chefs who are just starting out.  In 2015, I decided to launch Personal Chef Now to help the next generation of Personal Chefs get started and grow their businesses.  Our goal was simple.  Provide quality instruction, make it interactive, and make it collaborative.  We knew it would take some time to launch, but we hope you will be happy with the result.

I look forward to working with you in the forums and with those of you who sign up for the mentored programs. Let me know what you think!

-Bonnie Goodman In 2008, I decided to leave Gateway Computers as Vice President of Web Marketing to start a new chapter helping small business owners get started. With over 30 years of consulting experience in technology and marketing, I've come to realize that most people have the common sense and drive to be successful.  Sometimes what they really lack is the helping hand to assure them that they are on the right track and perhaps a little nudge when they get distracted or veer off course.

We are just getting this program going with the launch of our core course - Becoming a Personal Chef and our free PC Now Crash Course.  Later this year we will be releasing followup courses including:

I am very excited to be part of this project as we help a new generation of personal chefs get started.  It's really a terrific time to enter this emerging field.
