Chris DeferioBusiness, Podcast

 

People open coffee shops for many reasons. Some good and some-not so good. It really all depends on how you approach the “why” behind your business that determines your success. In a time where the barrier to enter the coffee house space is quite low we see a deluge of new cafes opening and quickly struggling then closing due to a lack of proper preparation born from a lack of proper mindset going into it.

1. The Dream

2. My Own Business

3. The Money Maker

4. The Community Hangout Space
