Many people want to open a cafe, why do cafes make so many people think about it?

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

It is the dream of many people to open their own coffee shop, but there are few practitioners in reality. Whatever your purpose, the following will tell you what you need to do.

Many people want to open a coffee shop. I once wondered why the coffee shop made so many people miss it. Later, it was found that cafes, small restaurants, milk tea shops, inns, Taobao shops. These keywords with high dream index have some common characteristics:

1. Be able to get an income

2. The introduction is simple and does not require too much cost and effort.

3. it's up to you and doesn't involve too much teamwork.

4. Meimeida

5. Facing the floating population

For people who want to open these stores, the subtext is:

I want to live a free life, a little money, enough for daily expenses; a little leisure, can slow down, enjoy the beauty of the process; interesting, can make more friends.

Just keep a balance, rich but busy to death, interesting but poor to cry, free but bored to death, is not a good state. If you have no money and no time and are bored, it would be a living hell just to think about it.

So the question is, how can we achieve a state of balance? A considerable number of people will say, "I really want to resign, I don't want to be scolded by my boss, I don't want to squeeze the subway during rush hour, I don't want to work overtime on weekends without overtime pay, and I don't want to see other people's face when I only have seven days off a year to travel." but I don't know what to do after I quit. " "I really want to do something by myself, but after thinking about it for several years, I don't have the courage to really give up my present life."

Because I have been freelance for a year, there are always people asking how I feel or how to make a living, so I decided to write about my feelings over the past year.

Freelancers must first work and then be free.

When you come out alone, you have to have a skill to defend yourself (resources and connections are open and automatically skipped with a strong economic base). Skill is a prerequisite for providing personal value and getting a return for it. Not professional, even if you have a lot of time after resignation, you can't feel free, because time is spent on anxiety, anxiety business can't get on the right track, anxiety has no source of customers, anxiety has no stable cash flow, and there are plenty of troubles that make you lose your hair.

Most people get stuck at the first step, "but I don't know anything?"

The person who can say this sentence confidently should write a thank-you note to the boss, thanking the boss for hiring you, giving you a bite to eat, nothing, and any bike (no, what holiday, what not to work, what interesting and beautiful)?!

Do not make excuses, say what I have no ability, no opportunity, no platform, the reason why you will not, is because of laziness.

How do you have a skill?

First of all, remember-most of the things you won't do before you quit, you won't do after you quit.

Don't try to say that you can squeeze out time to learn a skill no matter how busy you are at work after I resign.

When there is job security, you should start doing internal tests for free life. Yes, freelance, like other start-ups, requires trial and error to get up before you can wade out a sunny road. Try to do these things before you quit.

1. Spend money

Learn how to spend money when you have money to spend. Free stuff is the most expensive, it takes up your bandwidth with poor quality and preempts your time to enjoy the good stuff. Don't be stingy with money. There are endless free materials, open classes and forum discussions on the Internet, but it basically stays at the entry level. If you want to go further, you might as well spend a little money to buy professional books, invite professionals to train, go to professional shops to experience, spend money to buy other people's long-term accumulated specialties and horizons, and buy correct methods that others have experimentally demonstrated. It is a very worthwhile deal. In the case of mastering the right method, it is enough to learn a livelihood skill for 1-2 years.

2. Spend energy

Even if you are a freelancer, you are not alone in the fight. The more resources, contacts, and platforms you accumulate in the early stage, the easier it will be to connect and collaborate later. Get to know the groups related to skills and join them. Of course, it's best if the company you work for can provide a platform, and it doesn't matter if your current job has nothing to do with the direction of freelance in the future. This era provides a lot of social tools connected by interests. Take the time to keep an open mind and insist on making your voice on the right social platform. There may be unexpected gains. You are the average of the five friends you come into contact with most frequently. If your five best friends are all office workers, what are your chances of becoming a quiet and beautiful man / girl yourself?

3. Take time

Enthusiasm, there are ways, take the first step, more people will fall in the second step, after a period of warm-blooded study, and then come to an end. Everything is "a little understanding", and it's still a long way to go if it really wants to become a career. At this time, the most important thing is to form a good habit. It takes at least 21 days to form a new habit, 100 days to maintain it, and 10000 hours to reach the awesome level. Think about how much time you put into it. Please stop saying "I just can't do anything" and "I can't do it". You won't, don't you just not spend enough time on others?

4. Adjustment of mentality

Those who say "do not have the courage to give up their present life" have to solve not only the problem of ability, but also the problem of mentality. Afraid of challenges, afraid to give up, evade choices, to put it bluntly, do not really want to change, just want to take advantage of everything. There are risks to change, but the risk of immutability is greater.

Learn to give up, it's okay when you have nothing, the older you get, the harder it is to do it. But getting older is no excuse. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago, followed by now. No time is the best time to start. Although the post-90s generation is young, the post-90s generation has a lot of heart.

Learn to accept the challenge, freelancers are like stand-up comedians, after the appearance of one or two baggage did not shake, the mood began to be depressed, since you choose to stand on the stage, whether there is feedback from the audience, you have to maintain the state of high high until the curtain call. To believe that all efforts will not be in vain, the important thing is to stick to it. When you are on the job, you will have a lot of peace of mind if you practice ahead of time and hold the idea that it doesn't matter if you fail.

5. Keep sharp

Freelance needs to maintain a sense of tension, and work for a long time, accustomed to seeking sense of security, slow response, poor autonomy, rely on others to push will take a walk. When I first resigned, I had to check my outlook several times a day (I used to go to work, I had to swipe my email dozens of times a day, and I kept dealing with work orders from all directions). When I got away from the email, I didn't know what to do. If you can't drive yourself to do a complete project from the beginning to the end, you can only make a screw on the assembly line and become a gyro that will rotate only after a few slaps. To put it simply, the first thing is to become an engine and keep the power in your own hands.

Having said so much, why sometimes it feels so bad to go to work, because you have not found a complete self, this complete you can achieve a self-cycle, and do not change your attributes because of the change of your colleagues in your professional position. people who do not have a sense of freelance feel that they are working for others and that they are just earning a living. When you focus on yourself, you will feel that no matter what you do, others are working for you, and the job is to accumulate money, contacts, resources and methodology for yourself to help build a perfect self-brand.

Most people spend their time browsing Weibo and Wechat, watching South Korean dramas shopping on Taobao and buying bags, because they don't know what else they can do for themselves to comfort their restless and tired hearts. If you want to get out of your current predicament and become a freelancer with work-life balance, you must first find yourself and figure out "who am I", "what do I want to do" and "what should I do".

Having time does not mean freedom, nor does it mean that you are busy with work. No matter when you find yourself, you will be free.
