Using What Leverage You Have To the Maximum Extent!

So I finally had a small amount of working capital. working capital that by the way, the bank can't touch! Thank God, right! Because believe it or not, as much as we were struggling and as much as that money would have majorly helped(i know majorly is just made up, but still a cool word), anything that I got regarding assistance in cash, they were going to take.
So that was another great learning experience, negotiating with a bank who wants whatever it can get, to sign off on a loan that they have no power of. You want to talk about negotiations? Like they say in NY, "forget about it". What a learning experience. Again, one that has served me very well in my consulting business. I got a bank that was approximately $3 million dollars underwater, to agree to let me do whatI may with the money!
Hey if that isn't a resounding, "we kinda believe in you", I don't know what is! Let's just say, I felt good!
The plan was finally working and, it was really just the start. Because now, I had to implement my short and long term marketing, and sales growth plan, or I am more in debt!! Hey, what the heck at this point right?
WRONG!!! I just had an unbelievable sense of invincibility, and danger to me became a second thought financially. I was going for it, all in. I was going to win, or lose it all. I became comfortable with that thought process! Hey, I was 37. Enough said.

Hi everyone, I LOVE a good espresso and it always troubled me about the lack of knowledge some people had about coffee and espresso, especially in the U.S., because that's where I am from, I am not sure this is prevalent throughout the world, but there are some things everyone should know about espresso. First off, it doesn't matter what type of roast or beans you use really. It just matters that the coffee is ground to a certain fineness. This causes the massive amount of pressurized extraction you get from brewing it in an espresso machine!! The massive pressure that an espresso machine provides is the key to good espresso, not the beans or the blend, or the roast shade. In fact, some of the most powerful espresso I have ever tasted is from a roast that most people would describe as light roasted coffee!!  You see the way the espresso interacts with the brain is very different. It calls into attention a brain function called Adnosine which releases adrenaline into yo...

By Joe Leary/Principal/Lead Source Digital Marketer's & KYC Consulting on LinkedIn Today I would like to explain just how much the roasting process effects the coffee we consume on a daily basis. I sincerely hope you find this article enjoyable, interesting and informative. I am going to attempt to explain the 4 major roasting processes and what it does and doesn't do to the world's second most popularly traded commodity. Before I get started, there is something you need to know about coffee. When coffee is roasted it goes through a process, within that process the beans are altered by temperature and generally gas, LNG, electricity and even wood. During this process the beans reach levels within that process that makes the beans, "crack". Depending on how light or dark they are being roasting they "crack either once or twice. This alters the flavor profile tremendously, so please keep that in mind while reading this article. I have included some...
