Close your eyes for a moment, and imagine your life as a café owner in a year’s time. What do you see?
(Well, nothing obviously. Your eyes are closed. But forget that, and let your imagination run wild.)
If business is going well, you may picture yourself as a café entrepreneur. Your investment is running smoothly and efficiently. Every table is full, and people are lining up around the corner to grab a meal, a snack, or maybe just a coffee. And on the wall in your office are your plans and innovations to expand and grow your business even more.
But if your business isn’t doing so well, you may be imagining quite a different scenario. Maybe you’re struggling to keep the doors open, and facing the prospect of losing it all—your business, your pride, and maybe even your house.
Even if your café is doing okay, you may think that first scenario is nothing more than a fantasy. But with the right information and solid planning, you can make it your reality.
