			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="announcement_post"><p>Honestly, didn’t know such a book existed. I mean how many people are really interested in opening their own coffee shop? Well, believe it or not, thousands each month. And with very little info on the subject, this book is a life saver. Let me give you a general idea of what you’re going to find inside. </p>
<p>The thing you are going to like best about this book is how it will show you how to do this at minimal cost. I’m talking, under $25,000 and not a penny out of YOUR pocket. Quite honestly, this plan is genius and is worth the price of the book itself. In fact, there are case studies of people using this system who have opened up shops for less than $500. It’s almost mind boggling. </p>
<p>The book goes over a ton of information including:</p>
<ul>
<li>7 ways to get financing</li>
<li>Market statistics, so you know if there is room for you</li>
<li>80 individual steps to make sure your coffee shop is successful</li>
<li>Marketing solutions that don’t cost a small fortune</li>
<li>How to design your shop on a shoestring budget</li>
<li>Where to get the best coffee beans</li>
<li>What equipment you must have</li>
<li>How to determine your hours of operation</li>
<li>10 Marketing methods that create buzz. (If you read my free report, you understand about buzz.)</li>
<li>How to keep up with the coffee industry…very important.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are tons of resources inside as well such as an employee handbook, alcohol and drug policies, employment applications and way too much to get into here.</p>
<p>There are also videos and conference calls with coffee shop experts.</p>
<p>Honestly, the amount of information in this product is mind numbing.</p>
<p>And that may be the one problem as well. You need to understand this, so I will make this as clear as possible.</p>
<p>There is a TON of work in opening a coffee shop and a lot of info that needs to be absorbed. This product leaves NOTHING out. Which means that it’s going to take you a bit of time to go through it all. If you DON’T have the time…don’t get this. I’m serious.</p>
<p>If you’re serious about opening a coffee shop, I can honestly and truthfully say that this is going to become the coffee shop business bible someday if it already isn’t.</p>
<p>At the very least, please check out the site to see EVERYTHING that they have to offer. And yes, I do get compensated if you purchase this book from me. That compensation helps me to be able to review worth while products in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="announcement_post"><p>Too many people who start new businesses don’t put any thought into what their USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is going to be. They don’t come up with anything that distinguishes them from the rest of the market.</p>
<p>For example, let’s take the fast food market. Each really successful fast food chain has their own USP or, as you might refer to it, their catchy slogan. With Burger King, it’s “Have it YOUR way.” This implies that if you come to Burger King, you can get your burger made any way you like. Truth is, just about any fast food chain will custom make your order, but Burger King makes it their selling point.</p>
<p>There is a lot of competition out there, so why should somebody come to YOUR establishment over another. For example, if you’re starting a coffee shop, why should somebody drink YOUR coffee instead of say Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks? You need to come up with something that is unique and sets you apart. Otherwise,<br />
you’re just going to be another name in the crowd.</p>
<p>You need a name…and a catchy one…one that stands out. And you need a selling point. “Better coffee”, “friendlier atmosphere”, “more than just the best coffee” and so on. Without it, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage right from the start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="announcement_post"><p>Okay. So, this past Friday night the <a href="http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/2834-shark-tank-episode-14-recap">Shark Tank Episode 14</a> featured a married couple and business partners, Jeff and Annie Hughes, who figured out how to open a coffee shop and offer low-cost legal services at the same time. Their company, Legal Grind, combines a coffee shop with a legal resource center that brings affordable legal services to the middle class.</p>
<p>Overall, I thought it was a pretty good business idea. However, if they were to open a coffee shop in my area using this business model, I&#8217;m not sure it would work. But in our highly litigious society, I&#8217;m sure it would flourish in larger cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles or Chicago.</p>
<p>Although things didn&#8217;t turn out so well for Jeff and Annie at the end of the show, their coffee shop business plan certainly revealed an idea that I probably wouldn&#8217;t have thought of in a million years. It just goes to show you that originality goes in a long way in any niche.</p>
<p>If you want to check out the entire recap of the episode you can read it at <a href="http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/2834-shark-tank-episode-14-recap">RealityWanted.com</a>. Jeff and Annie are discussed in the last two paragraphs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you drink coffee on a regular basis then you are probably well aware that it can become quite an expensive habit depending on your coffee drinking preferences.  With the rising costs in all sectors of the economy these days, it’s no surprise that the price of coffee has also risen and become more and more impractical for those that enjoy fresh coffee in the morning.  This article will give you some tips on how to save a little money when it comes to drinking coffee.</p>
<p>First of all, if you enjoy buying coffee from coffee shop you must realize that you are already spending way more per cup of coffee than you would if you were to buy your own coffee grounds and brew your own coffee at home.  Because coffee shops sell their product, in this case coffee, in order to make a profit, they have to raise the price of their cups because of rising costs for getting the coffee to you.  Typically you can expect to pay anywhere from $1.25 to $1.75 for a cup of coffee at a gas station or convenience store, and as much as $3 or $4 at a specialty coffee shop.  After just 10 cups of coffee at a gas station, you will have spent the same amount of money that you would have spent on buying your canister of coffee grounds when will get you at least 10 cups each time you make a pot of coffee.  You could potentially get 200 cups out of a canister of coffee that you had purchased from a grocery store and made on your own at home.  That’s a lot of money saved by not buying the same cup every time from a gas station every time.</p>
<p>There are other ways you can save money when it comes to buying coffee.  You can buy your coffee grounds in bulk quantities, which often results in a discounted price because of the large quantity.  Businesses will often take advantage of this service when buying coffee since they are buying for a large number of people on a daily basis.  It certainly wouldn’t make sense for a business to go to a grocery store and by hundreds of the cans of coffee that everyday customers buy because this would be very costly and impractical.  Instead, businesses will want to buy from a supplier that can sell bulk quantities of coffee for a discounted price.</p>
<p>You can also save money by buying your own coffee beans and then grinding them yourself.  This will often result in some cost savings and will also provide you with more fresh tasting coffee.  Not only does buying your own coffee beans save you money, but grinding your own coffee beans ensures that your coffee id fresh because you ground the beans yourself.  You didn’t buy coffee grounds that have been sitting on the shelf for weeks so you know that they’re going to be fresh.  So you get fresher coffee at a cheaper price.</p>
<p>There are a number of ways to save money when buying coffee and with the rising costs of buying groceries, it makes sense to try and watch your spending otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy coffee at all.  Follow these simple tips and you’ll have no problem saving a few pennies on your next cup of coffee.</p>
