This is the last entry in the 3-part blog carnival.
Jose Andres and his World Central Kitchen volunteers show up after hurricanes like Maria in Puerto Rico and in conflict zones Feeding the Hungry.
Andres and his crew have done what the Red Cross and U.S. government could not. In the Middle East they built a solid usable jetty. The U.S. spent $300 million building a temporary floating structure nearby that collapsed.
Andres didn’t think he could feed the millions who needed food. His game plan should be replicated by us: Start with one subgoal at a time.
Andres knew that the people living in those other countries were the best experts to tell him what to do when the World Central Kitchen staff showed up.
In fact, Andres is against hosting Zoom meetings to figure out the plan. Meet a person in person is his belief.
Change the Recipe is only 175 pages. It should be bought to refer to time and again for a refresher in hope that a single individual can alleviate the suffering in the world. Each of us can start volunteering in our corner of the world for the cause we’re committed to.
Asking the recipients of help what they need is far better than thinking you know what they need and pre-assembling a care package to give them.
Even before I published Working Assets the career guide I had at least three peers read the manuscript to tell me what they thought of it.
Living life without taking risks is no life to live if you ask me. Andres saw the need that creating World Central Kitchen could fill better than others could fill that need.
This is the key to succeeding: Filling a need your target market has and being the best at what you do.
