How to find out exactly what your clients want: A tale of two coffee shops

May 20 by 13 Comments


latte-249102_640I was riding in an elevator to my office building and struck up a conversation with someone in an office one floor down from me.  She was really enjoying her morning coffee, and I noticed that her coffee cup was from Awaken Café, right across the street from our building.  I was surprised because there is a delightful coffee shop less than 10 feet from our elevator-  Bittersweet Café, and it’s right in our building.  It’s well designed, cozy and has seemingly good coffee (though I don’t drink coffee), and it’s less expensive.

LearningHi there,

The first 4 months of the year have just whizzed by.  Lots of amazing things are happening here at Bill Baren Coaching.  I am coming into my own thinking of what we do around here as a University of Conscious Success.  It is a big vision of mine to impact as many conscious entrepreneurs as possible.  Nothing brings me greater joy than watching the number of students in our universe grow exponentially.
