    omg I have been dreaming a coffee shop for years! I wanted it to serve as many coffee and tea recipes in beautiful and fun but above all unique cups and to have art on the walls by local artists and to also double as a books tore-library

I want to create a stage for live music to have local musicians play since I am a musician as well.

    An idea that I'm really into is to open an overall drink goods shop. I'll probably never do it, since I'm interested in many things and this is the one I'll drop unless I figure out how to make it run on its own in a sense.
    I want to have amazing coffee and tea with great variety, very healthy fruit drinks - juices, lemonades, milkshakes, etc and a little bit in the cathegory of "others", e.g. matcha. High quality and variety is key!
    I think such a place is ideal to catch up with friends while not drinking the same old boring stuff, but something new and interesting.
    I'd love to double it as a place to study and do e.g. meetups to learn a language with someone or overall tutoring.
    If I get to have a very big place I'd have a lot of freedom on how to set it up so I have even more ideas, also ideas in terms of food. But the main premise is a place with a big variety of high quality drinks.

      essennagerry that sounds amazing!!! I am currently lost with what I want to do after high school other than going to community college and joining the Marine Corps. So I've recently been trying to figure out what I want to do. I first wanted to open a small clothing line and such which I would like to do but I got the idea to open a coffee shop of sorts but not just coffee, like... It'd be multiple things I guess. Anyways, I like your idea a lot. If you ever open it i hope the bathrooms are top-notch because it is a drink store after all! 😂 Anyhow, I think that with hard work and dedication you can do that.

    I dont agree the part when he said "dont hire someone smarter than you" i mean in my opinion there's no such thing, if you think your applicants are smarter than you, i think you just lack the knowledge about certain things, i mean no offense but when he said something like that he kinda have superiority complex. i kinda dont want to judge over that little thing, but he's the boss on his own business right?, he shouldn't think that way i suppose. I dont have a job i'm 26years old i failed 10x interviews and its kinda hurt when i heard that part, i'm not assuming that i'm smart though, it just kinda wrong. He's expert in business he miht know something that i'm not aware of, just like i said 'lack of knowledge about certain thing'. Anyway overall i enjoyed this podcast pursuing my own dream to have a little coffee shop. Thank you and Godbless :)

He explains the importance of having somebody that is good at something that you are not. So he has a point, if he lacks at something, he made sure he hired the correct person for that task.

      Usually when people mention the huge coffee margin, they refer to the price they sell coffee for less the cost of the coffee beans.
      You are right that there is a lot more to it than this.
