For anyone who has ever dreamed of opening a coffee shop, wondered what it's really like to run a small business, or already knows the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, Pour Decisions offers an engaging, authentic look behind the counter. Former coffee shop owner Peggy Cwiakala shares her journey, from inspired beginnings to unexpected endings, with names changed to protect both the innocent and the creatively caffeinated. It's a practical guide to an often impractical world.
In Pour Decisions, you'll find the perfect blend of business insight, heartfelt lessons, and unforgettable moments. With an eye for the comical and the cautionary, Peggy explores what it really takes to bring a small business to life, from the quirks of employees to the moods of coffee aficionados and the unpredictable supply chain that shapes it all. From navigating the unique challenges of COVID-19 to balancing budgets with coffee beans, this book reveals the personal and professional realities behind a cherished community space.
Whether you're a business dreamer, current or former owner, or coffee lover, Pour Decisions serves up wisdom with a generous dose of humor. You'll discover reflections on the art of running a business, insights into coffee culture, and a genuine appreciation for the resilience required to keep the doors open and the espresso flowing.
Ideal for those savoring the dream of their own shop or anyone who has poured their heart into a venture, Pour Decisions is a tribute to the joys, lessons, and occasional mishaps of small business life; one well-brewed cup at a time.
