SHIFT BREAK! Refreshing the Owner's Soul
We all want to make a difference with our work. The trouble is that the busyness of a coffee shop tends to pull our attention in a million different directions and we rarely get an opportunity to see if indeed we are making that difference. This leads to a lot of stress, burn out, and a demoralization that can easily shut down a business by first shutting you down as the leader.
Today on shift break, we are going to be talking about some mindsets and strategies you can use to checkin in on and stay connected to the truth of the situation. The truth is you are doing better than you think and your continued work, when done in honor of your existing good work, is way more sustainable. Times are tough, it's time that you carved out time to see the truth and discipline yourself to reflect on the good as you go.
