The Best Advice That I Based My Life On!




Before we move on with this blog. I wanted to share the above video with you. I am a huge fan of Steve Jobs and he had many memorable speeches. This one in the video above is just simply the truth!
I loved the coffee business, even though it had its challenges as you are currently reading! I love what I do now, consulting & helping people achieve their goals, through my knowledge and learned experiences is tremendously fulfilling! I also write and perform music, which I absolutely love. So before I go on with my blog, really just stop and reflect about this message in this video. You know, it takes an extreme amount of courage to do what you love! I mean think about it? Are you right now doing what you really love to do? Life is short enough, you have to follow your heart. Peace to all.

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business#commoditybusiness#freebusinessadvice

How To Successfully Run A Commodity Based Business     I have over 26 years of experience in a commodity based business. As a matter of fact, it wasn't just commodities, it was the number 2 traded commodity on the planet, coffee. Although I will be referring to coffee in this article, this information will translate into any commodity based business. One thing I do want to point out, that perhaps many haven't considered.

Yes, board to make boxes is a commodity, and many of the packaging materials a manufacturing facility uses is petroleum based.

  THE ART OF CREATING A GREAT COFFEE BLEND!   This is pretty much where the rubber meets the road, in the coffee industry. Coffee blends make up the vast majority of successful products within this industry. Single Origins and Estate Coffees are wonderful, but, coffee blends are generally the mainstay of most consumers purchases. There are several reasons for that. Today I want to explain and explore how you would go about finding the right coffee blend for you and, what goes into the process of roasting and blending coffee and the underlying reasons. I hope you find this enjoyable and entertaining. After all it really is the "Art" side of the coffee industry. It is also the down and dirty business side of the industry. Let's take a closer look at what goes into this process. Most of you know that coffee is an agricultural product. With any product that is cultivated and grown, there are natural cycles that occur. Coffee is no different. Coffee
