Starting February 1st, my plan is to stop working. (Due date: February 27th)
This means the cafe I've been at, almost daily, for the past 3.5 years will be left in the hands of it's workers and customers. To be completely honest, I feel really good about leaving- but Id be crazy not to be nervous- just a little.
My worries are not weather or not the staff is qualified to do the job, but that the amount of work will be overwhelming for them. I mean- there is a lot to think about, do and keep track of! The hope is that things will flow smoother in my absence because the communication will be better- my mommy mush brain will not be at fault for unordered items, missing invoices, late deposits, lack of small bills and change and much much more. The big question is- can someone who doesn't own the business still have fun and enjoy work while executing all the daily duties?
My answer: YES!!!
Our employees will feel empowered by the trust given to them to sail this ship alone. They will feel good that I believe in their collective ability to run the "show." They will collectively work and collectively grow into a confident and indestructible force... I know that without me- they can accomplish more, more efficiently.
Onwards and upwards!
