Another boring day so I decided to put something new today.
Yes, it was a big opportunity as I mentioned in my last post, but little did I know that it would turn out into a big headache. Real colors of people you knew and did not know started to show, and the circus came to town. You got crooks, Mr. know it alls, button pushers, big talkers.
But life went on, on a positive note, and I am proud to say that the team towed the line. From a very optimistic and enthusiastic start to survival mode, admittedly I have sort of fallen in love with the challenge.....why? I have no idea.
I am just fortunate to have partners that are honest, a very supportive and loving wife, and friends who come to your rescue whenever you need them.
I write from the point of view of the circle within the business. Outside that circle lurk the critics who judge and preach their quick fix tips even though they have zero experience in this type of business. The holier than thous who think like they are some kind of well known food critic but the truth is, they do not even know their food.
On the other hand there are the advisers, each word of advice they give you is a treasure that you will learn from. Their kind words inspire and give you the strength to move on day after day.
Whatever it is, I hope in that in the end, the workers are taken cared of. All the bad eggs have left and the ones who stayed behind are all deserving of a better future.
Like the greeting I received last New Year's eve from a dear adviser, May you be more blessed this year so that you may share your blessings with the ones you love.
I surely wish the same for our workers and everyone who put in his and her heart and soul into this venture. Good luck to us.
