5 things you can learn from blowing up coffee a machine

“You’re fired.”

My job at the cafe lasted two weeks.

I can’t blame the guy.

In my short time of employment, I managed to:

  1. Blow up the milk steamer.
  2. I messed up the bean grinder.
  3. Failed to remember customers’ orders.

It was quite an experience.

But during my time demolishing a cafe, I managed to learn a thing or two about hospitality.

  • Always welcome guests with a smile.

    You can’t go wrong by being nice.
  • Creating a welcoming atmosphere.

    When people buy your course, make sure you have a great welcome sequence.
  • Attention to detail.

    Always quality over quantity.

    Remember, your job as a course creator is to bring people from A to B in the fastest possible time.
  • Speedy service.

    Always strive to answer questions fast.
  • Handle complaints gracefully.

    People who complain have some truth in what they say.

    Listen, adapt and solve fast.

In the end, running a cafe and selling a course are not that different.

Building your business is about a never-ending journey of trial and error.

It’s a fun experiment to look at other businesses to see what you can learn.

Always remain a student, and you will become better at your craft.

Now go and build that course.
