I always want to quit and start a coffee shop, but do they all make money?

/ Ba Jiuling / tr. by Phil Newell)

Have you ever had a literary dream of opening a cafe?

The minibus often has such friends who are fed up with nine-to-five life and the daily infighting in the office, and don't want to look at the boss's face all day.

They were so excited by the sentence "Life is not only the present, but also poetry and distance" that they decisively threw the resignation letter on the boss's desk and began to imagine what the ideal cafe looked like.

It is quietly located on the street corner, there must be a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, so that the sun can shine through the glass, the air is always filled with the aroma of coffee, people from all over the country chat freely in the cafe, or quietly read a good book.

Suit, high heels, boss, never see again!

So they can't wait to inspect, learn the arts, do everything themselves, invest 100% passion, for a good store, but run all over the streets of the city, either dissatisfied with the rent or location, more than half a year later still did not find a suitable storefront.

At this time, the commercial attributes behind the literary dream of opening a cafe are realized that raw materials, rent, decoration, staff and so on are all issues to be considered.

When the economic gain is out of proportion to the investment, the loss for a month or two can still be supported by the passion to realize the dream. What about the loss for six months? What about eight months?
