Business, It’s just more fun…
Over the past couple of weeks I have been having this re-occuring thought about how business is more fun than my formor work in the church.
Here is what I find excitting/fun:
1. Creating Jobs: I still can not get over the thought that somehow creating a marketable good in the economy of Specialty Coffee, has given people a place to work. (I get at least one email or call a week for the past several months about job oppertunities. Thankfully it is not up to me or I would hire most people, because I enjoy giving people what they want.)
2. Being apart of Growth: It is a crazy thought that a year ago at this time we had four wholesale customers, now we have five times that. I do not know how good this is in the world of start ups, but according to our B-Plan we are doing well.
3. Something new: What we are doing at One Village Coffee is about building a business that supports Non-Profit work, or causes. This is not a new idea, but in the world of start up specialty coffee roasters it is unique. The fact that the wells we will build this year are connected to friends we have in Nigeria is tremendously fullfilling.
Well, for what it’s worth, that is why I think this Job is fun…
If you are interested in what is not fun about my job, you will have to ask.
