"But, Dottie's will be entering our busy season. Our manger is leaving, one of our strongest employees will be doing the Knolls program! We have 3 months to find three people! AAAaaah!"
Not to mention my husband Matt, a horticulturist/landscape designer/farmer/permiculturist, will be busy with all of his projects. I tried not to think about it too much. I hoped for the best, kept positive and believed that the right PEOPLE would come our way. If I've learned anything over the past five years of running a business, it's that the law or attraction is in full effect and if you are scared and thinking negatively, NOTHING WILL WORK OUT.
Now that Im six months along and looking towards spending time with my new sweet little girl, most things have fallen into place. We found three employees in three months, (two of which worked out). Were managing to get people the shifts they want and consequently floating a seasonably high payroll. We're considering extending hours because of increased business and planning and booking events all the way into May. As I look around our cafe I see happy customers and motivated employees. I smell delicious food and taste amazing coffee. Is this a dream?
YES, it is! But it IS reality, too! Believe in yourself, your dreams and do what makes you happy- not matter what the cost is. There is always a solution and a plan if you believe in it. If you're not happy, make changes, take risks and dont look back. Thou Mayest, people!
