One of the obstacles I came up against was that I had to order wine in serious ‘bulk’ I naively thought I could order a couple of cases from a few hand picked wine farms and start my ’small business’ by selling these cases to restaurants, gaining trust and loyalty and slowly building up a customer base.

Raphael Dobbin is not going to help me loose any weight soon with his idea of a West African restaurant, but he was going to offer me free fruit as a dessert option for healthier living. Emmanual Opanuga is opening a shoe store chain , focusing on customer care while understanding the price pressures in this business.

You get an amazing experience but at the same time you slowly decrease your overall resistance and health. Reply 7 Farnoosh May 18, 2010 at 6:51 pm A beautiful post, Dragos…reminds me also of restaurants who serve very small servings (less) of delicious delicacies that go a long way (more). And then a little bit more.

However, a few years ago I realized that my true passion lied in helping people perfect their bodies, improve their health and find their life balance. You can become a chef and eventually open a restaurant, you can write a book of recipes, you can have a blog about cooking, you can give private cooking lessons or cater for private parties.

Go Live As Often As You Can I remember how scared I was first time when Ian Peatey sent me direct message on Twitter asking me where the restaurant that I was having lunch was. At this restaurant? Wait, will I actually meet this nickname? No, I’d better run away. Of course I didn’t, and we met face to face.

Bloggers seek validation from their commenters, restaurants seek validation from customers. It is an important trait of an effective leader to let people know their work matters and they are a positive contribution. It is wise and sound business practice to listen to the reality of what is said.

Whether this involves setting the time of the event, or getting gas before a long trip, or picking the restaurant to meet at, this is your chance to impress everyone. Plan Out The Details Of An Event There is no one out there that doesn’t like it when you plan for an event.

Maybe the trip turned out to be a fiasco because the budget exploded and now you have to do the dishes in a restaurant to pay for your plane ticket home (or, most likely, you ignored some very common sense rule and it turned out that rule was for real). The outcome is the part when we pay. I have stared doing such activities in ly life too.

We cost the government less in sick time and health care, and we help support the economy with the money we make. I’m glad my blogging fame doesn’t interrupt my trip to the zoo with the kids or a candlelit dinner at a fine restaurant. We work just as hard, if not harder. We show up for our jobs every day.
