Not sure how you survive as a barista

Not sure how you survive as a barista

Owning a business is no small task, and it seems clear she didn't set boundaries; article mentions her feeling sad even after reaching milestones - no telling what these milestones were or how they were measured.. Sounds like she was also lacking any modicum of strategy.

It's much easier reporting to the coffee shop and taking orders.

When your wildly successful business grows beyond your ability to service, you hire your first employee. You don't trash it all to go pour coffee. This whole story sounds a little bullshitty to me.

What more likely happened is that a marginally successful business was wildly mismanaged both in time and resources and burned out its sole operator. Without the funds to take the next step in business growth or dial it back a bit, drastic choices were made to maintain some amount of income. If her coffee pouring wage is anywhere close to her entrepreneur wage, that business was swirling the bowl anyway.

Tradesmen are going to be in high demand in 10 years.

They're already in demand right now. I can't call anyone for any trade and get them here sooner than a few days. When they come, it is going to be hit and miss as to how good the quality of their work is. The only way to get great work done is to know something is going to wear out or break soon, call the good guys who will book you for 6 months out, and then hope they get there before whatever it is breaks.

online recruitment business

That's a shitty job to start with. I don't blame the person for burning out in that, and that in itself isn't article-worthy.

I want to start a business that sells little one-person camping tents as portable 'safe spaces' for the soon to be homeless Gen Z bums who don't want to work.
