What I like about this channel is that you are interviewing real entrepreneurs. People who worked really hard to get where they are and yet their story is not a one in billion case. The majority of ppl find Elon Musk likes as inspiration which are quite rare cases whereas the entrepreneurs you discuss here are much closer to an experience that most of us might eventually have and that's really powerful!
All entrepreneurs work hard! 80 hour work weeks. You think Elon Musk coasted his way through? Zuckerberg? Jobs? Disney? No! They all work hard AND smart!
Honestly as someone who is working on opening my own coffee shop, you reminded me that we need to figure out what kind of drinks we’re going to sell, how we are going to create a menu, as well as where we (me and my business partner) are going to get the ingredients for all our drinks.
20yrs ago you could start a business with just 20k now it's half a million , it's crazy how times changed .. thank you up flip for your quality videos it's certainly inspiring even if things are 1000x more difficult today .. future entrepreneurs just have to be more effective and innovative 👍👍
This is sooo inspirational. I love his business model and his approach to marketing. I think geographical marketing is very expensive and hard to pull off and very excited to see that he was able to do that
I want a coffee shop, a bakery, a barbecue/smoke house joint, and a brewery! Those are my business goals! I'll get back to this comment once I have accomplished all of the aforementioned. =)
@@Iceman-xe7jo as someone who just started a business. i can say getting the capital is easy. the main thing is learning is business. if you dont know the business then you will just burn through your capital without making any money
So inspiring! I needed to see this, especially right now. So many businesses are struggling during the pandemic, but it's still possible to build your own business and reach incredible heights.
@@UpFlip More media businesses would be cool to see (like video production businesses, voice actors, website design, etc...). I know we have a lot of that stuff here in the in the NW, so it would be cool to see how other people are successful in those types of businesses.
So my dad is looking to open a cafe for us in a small town in Spain. Even though this is a much bigger business your questions were fantastic and relates to the coffee business overall, thanks for this!
Woods coffee is by far the best taste wise as well as their aesthetic appeal, everything about their brand and how their marketing and stores are designed look incredible.
You Rock Don't Drop the Mic.😀👍💪💖We really appreciate that and we think your great too. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave such a great comment. What has been your favorite video so far?
With all of this knowledge, I'm feeling more prepared with every video. I'm taking notes and starting on a business plan, I'm hoping this will help with finding some funding to open our tea house in 2023. :)
As a CPA of 30 years, I see restaurants keeping their cost of goods sold at 20% (in Dallas). And yes, a business plan is something that you keep it simple.
I Really Love Your You Tube Show, 2017 I Orded A 8x10 VNose Trailer For My Wife, But Due Because Tine And Money Wasnt On My Side I Decided To Put The Project On Rest Until I Can Come Up With Some Kind Of Idea And Start From Scratch, My Trailer Basically Has One Door On Driver Side with Concessional Service Window and All Plywood Surface. So That Tells You I Have A Whole project Ahead.....Your Video Really Inspires Me Not To Give Up,,, You Really Bring Hope To Me And My Wife....Thank
@@UpFlip no without the startup capital you will never get the business off the ground. That is why banks make so much money charging interest on loans to do so.
Thanks so much for this quality material! I'm in the first stage of creating my own business related to coffee. These give me great insight. If I ever become very successful at it, I will definitely be sending some thank you notes ha ha.
Biz plan on one sheet of paper....have it ready before you start the biz....a gem that's in all of the casual / formal biz text books. He makes it sound easy...cuz it is....
"They make tips so it bridges the gap between what minimum wage is and what employees want." Almost got there. It actually bridges the gap between minimum wage and what employees NEED to live, thrive, and, sometimes, survive in the areas where your businesses succeed. Capitalism is tricky. It's VERY good for those who make "enough" to "lots", but it's real bad for those who barely or don't make enough.
Our hearts are full, knowing we can touch lives with our videos! Hope you take these powerful lessons with you and apply them. Cheers to your success! 🔥
I saw your shop at the mall-good job! Now hopefully you pay the employees $15+ with benefits wish more companies would offer vegan breakfast/snack items.
well one of the most effective ways to engage,and boost your sales is creating website and an app to brand your business and am an expert I can help you with this services
Video over all was good info. One thing I obversed was your guest speaker seemed annoyed/thrown off that you were promoting other videos in the middle of a conversation.
Agreed. I personally know someone who opened a coffee shop with less than 100k 4 years ago that now does nearly half a million in annual revenue. This guy is a boomer gatekeeper that doesn’t want anyone trying to emulate him. If 23k 18 years ago were the equivalent of 500k today, our economy would be experiencing Weimar Republic-style hyperinflation. Complete nonsense.

how does this channel doesnt have 1M subs? the content is high quality, clear, and inspiring
The algorithm is tricky
I used to listen to entrepreneur podcasts but being a visual person, i prefer this medium. This channel is awesome, I'm binge watching it!
We're glad to be here for you! If you ever go back to podcasts again, we're actually releasing one later this month! :)
Kudos to this man for thriving in an industry where a zillion coffee shops are everywhere!! 👏🏼
Very true Captain.

You're welcome, maybe we'll do more segments on starting businesses on a lower budget!
u can start with 20 k today,,, he said, that now , hes coffe shop cost 500k.
That s part is not quiet clean, it looks like more a way to discourage people who want to make his own coffee bean :/
This is sooo inspirational. I love his business model and his approach to marketing. I think geographical marketing is very expensive and hard to pull off and very excited to see that he was able to do that
For sure! Wes definitely knows what he's doing.

Me too I hope to open. But I need business plan
@@smubarak100 Buisness plans are easy. The capital is what you need. If you have that your in.
@@Iceman-xe7jo as am a pastry. I will need more than coffe too but i need to have more details

Very high quality video! I have several friends who are in the coffee shop business who can benefit by hearing these tips.
That's great to hear, be sure to share this with them!
So inspiring! I needed to see this, especially right now. So many businesses are struggling during the pandemic, but it's still possible to build your own business and reach incredible heights.

@@UpFlip thats the real power,,,, to bilieve that u can do it
I really enjoyed this video. Starting a coffee shop doesn't seem so unobtainable now. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear that!
Really love seeing how people have been successful in their businesses here in the Pacific NW. Thanks for providing all the helpful info!
Our pleasure Garrett. Thanks for watching. What type of business would you like to see on the channel next?

Definitely!

please do more coffee roastery ! I am a coffee roaster from Vietnam and love your channel! thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment, we'll try our best to do this!
This guy built a great company. But he clearly had a lot of startup money behind him. That was key to him having such success.
Hi John! Do you think someone can be equally as successful without startup capital?
@@UpFlip no without the startup capital you will never get the business off the ground. That is why banks make so much money charging interest on loans to do so.
This guys is the best host compared to the other guys
Agreed 100%. The host does an excellent job asking the right questions and listening.
Thanks so much for this quality material! I'm in the first stage of creating my own business related to coffee. These give me great insight. If I ever become very successful at it, I will definitely be sending some thank you notes ha ha.

what does he mean by Occupancy?
his coffee shop resembles Starbucks more than I think any other independent shop I've seen. I'm guessing he used their model as a starting point?
Nice video
Big like from Jakarta Indonesia ❤️
Thank you very much!
I don't believe his current day entry cost statement. I think he doesn't want to give all this info and then have anyone think they can do it.
You would have to see the books or try it for yourself to truly find out.
Agreed. I personally know someone who opened a coffee shop with less than 100k 4 years ago that now does nearly half a million in annual revenue. This guy is a boomer gatekeeper that doesn’t want anyone trying to emulate him. If 23k 18 years ago were the equivalent of 500k today, our economy would be experiencing Weimar Republic-style hyperinflation. Complete nonsense.
It's funny cause the channel has the opposite purpose. So I watch the videos and ignore stuff like that
"Nuggets of information" exactly
Liked. Comment.
Thanks Captain!
how to start a coffee roaster for next episode please :)
Thanks for the idea, we'll do our best!
How much does it cost to open a coffee shop?
It will vary based on many many different factors.
Do a hockey company pleas
Thanks for the suggestion. Will do!
Maybe One day
You can do it! 💪
