Whenever we hear something interesting or something that resonates with us, we write it down.  Unfortunately sometimes we forget to write down who actually said it.  Here are some very wise business guidelines we came across recently and which we really want to share (but this is one of those instances where we forgot to note the source).

Any business should always have 4 components:

1. Make sure the business makes money.

2. Make sure the business makes a difference.

3. Make sure the business allows you to be more of who you are.

4. Trust in a higher plan or higher source.

If the above holds true then we should be able to apply them to any type of business. Let’s see if it would work for a coffee shop. Can it make money? Yes, certainly. Can it make a difference? Yes, it could – in many different ways: we could put though provoking literature on the tables, we could start interesting discussions with our customers while we make their coffee, we could provide a “haven” for stressed out people, we could donate parts of our profits for a good cause……..Could it allow us to be more of ourselves? It certainly could, if we like people contact, like to chat, are passionate about food and good coffee and love to source the best coffee beans…..

The most tricky point is number 4: Trust into a higher plan or source. This is a very personal thing and it is not something you can learn.  Maybe it has to do with letting go, allowing things to happen and having an open mind. Listen to your intuition and gut feelings and some amazing things might come your way.

Till next time,
