In with the new, out with the old. Or maybe not just yet.
I have been in business now almost 5 years!!! (5 years in March ) In the cell phone world. I currently own 2 Boost Mobile stores. Which I absolutely love! But this past year (2019) has been such a rough year for my business. I have had many ups and downs and just had to relearn everything again. Now after this business roller coaster that I am just getting off I have decided that doing just this, doesn’t make me happy anymore like it used to. I want more adventure. I want to keep moving forward.
So…. I am looking into opening a small cozy cafe. Not another Starbucks. But more personal. More cozy and more friendly. I want it to be themed but I still haven’t decided all the details. I am just excited to be able to do something I always wanted to do since I was young! And I just can’t believe I am already looking at spaces.
With all the excitement, I am wondering if I should record like a vlog the whole process? I think it would be a fun idea to do just for my records. Just to see where I started and where it gets me year after year. Any thoughts?
I am also debating what exactly I am going to especialiase in.. Should I do just coffee? coffee and pastries? what kind of pastries? Coffee and bubble tea? what colors to use? So many questions. In my current business right now we are a franchise meaning that they do all the directing of what colors the store should be, what will be selling, the plans offered to costumers, they advertise for us as well. There’s very little space for making it your own. Which is why I want something that I can make my own.
Something you guys may not know… I worked at Starbucks for 2 years when I was a teenager and I went from knowing nothing about coffee (was not a coffee drinker) to knowing A LOT! To falling in love with the magic of coffee. I loved talking to people and making them their drinks. It was really fun. I am looking forward to starting my own thing here. I know that just like any business, it is going to take a lot of time, money, and patience. But I am so ready to start a new adventure.
I know by the title it may seem that I will no longer have my Boost Mobile store, but …. I am still keeping my Boost Mobile store and adding a few more this year. I am just stepping away from being on the sales floor everyday. I am excited for whats to come, and I hope you guys follow me along this new awesome journey.
XOXO,
Yvonne

You won’t know if you don’t try. It’s sounds like you have a well though out plan. Go for it!
