341: How to Think About Success

Chris DeferioBusiness, Leadership, Podcast

How do you think about success and your coffee shop? For many people it boils down to financial metrics only which, in the long run, may not bring the kind of fulfillment the we seek when we first set out to begin in coffee. In fact without some more nuanced goals and metrics for success, even the profitability will and does suffer.

Today I want to talk about four ideas of what I believe success can look like that go beyond the financial and help balance our pursuit of profit in a way that bring sustainability to both you and the people you serve through the business.

We cover:

  • Out normal understanding of sucess
  • The importance of employee care
  • Legacy and long term creation
  • Intentionality and Community impact
  • Personal and professional growth
