A friend hit me up before Coachella.  His mom lost her life partner.  She resolved to visit him for a healthy distraction and he decided to throw a soiree to cheer her up.  He asked me to cater.

It was the first time I catered in months so it was tough.   Didn’t make any money, which is fine because he’s a buddy, but I have to confess: my t’s were not crossed and my i’s were not dotted.

Ultimately THEY were very happy.  My friend remarked “you’re so calm.”  Internally I answered, “OMGWTFBBQ!”

Overall, it was a great boost that also offered a valuable lesson:

If I’m going to do this I need to charge more, hire help, and carve out the time to deliver what I say I will deliver.
