Description
This is episode 2 of the series following Paul Ross' journey in setting up the Special Guests Coffee cafe. This is a fun one to watch. We recorded it in early April and then travel and a few challenges with the editing got in the way of releasing it. So, you will hear Paul’s projected opening dates which have not yet been realised. He is battling on though.
I highly recommend watching/listening to this if you are thinking of opening a cafe or you work in the retail end of the supply chain. The challenges Paul describes are very similar for many who venture down this road. Opening a cafe is incredibly rewarding. While it sounds pretty stressful based on this interview and I am not sure if we are doing a good job promoting becoming an entrepreneur and cafe owner, it does enrich your life in many ways.
The phase Paul is describing here though, is one of the toughest phases in pre-launching the business. It is the pre-construction phase, where the building contractors are estimating the costs of turning the designs into your dream cafe.

Paul’s voice has that croaky sound which is the product of long hours of work at the expense of sleep. While the cafe has dominated his time, he has also needed to continue working on the core business and his additional coaching work. At least he is not bored :)
