“The biggest mistake a small business can make is to think like a small business.” - Anonymous

From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
30 December
My son and his wife have just made the following 2018 resolution: leave their Internet business and eventually move to the Sierra foothills to open up their own snob coffee shop/dessert shop. [Among other things, she does a killer tiramisu!].
But before they do anything drastic they’ve decided to get their feet wet gradually: he’ll continue with the Internet business and she'll get a job as a barista at a foothills Starbucks for six months. While there she’ll work her way up first to assistant manager, then manager. That way she’ll learn the coffee-shop business from the bottom up, and all on Starbucks' nickel!
How’s that for a New Year’s resolution!
