Finally owning my own business
Hello! A lot of you don't know me but I'm so excited that I want to tell everyone and everything about this!
So I'm finally buying my own business! Thanks to the help of my aunt and amazing boyfriend and my friend who's selling me the business. It's a drive thru coffee stand!
I've been in the coffee industry since I've gotten out of the Army since it was the only job I was able to get that would accommodate my injuries. I've loved it. We're literally like cheap psychiatrists to some people and cheap mental health to others. The thing I hated though, has always been how they are ran. I've literally been made to work 14 days straight with only 1 day off and then have my hours cut because I wasn't a big enough sports/football fan. Not kidding. And I've literally been fired for not being a skank. But I've also been tipped over 600$ from 1 person for being their only friend and for putting care into their the creation of their drinks and food items. I love the people more than I do the job so I've stuck by crap circumstances just to be able to see the multitude of faces on a daily basis to make sure everyone leaves happy.
So for the last literal year, I've been trying to open up my own stand in my home town. The permitting fees have cost me over 3.5 k and they're trying to have us get more along with more paperwork. I'm almost on the line of saying fuck it but I'm already in debt for that stand and it's only 7 minute from my house. We can't even build yet because the contractors that we're getting the building from won't do it without a permit and they're the only ones who will build it for a decent price. Plus it doesn't help that we're literally 1 block from city hall and they drive by the location every day. :, ( It's a struggle that many have given up on but I am not although it is costing me quite a bit financially.
But my boyfriend mentioned about buying another existing stand and a friend's stand popped into my head. So I called him and he's willing to finance me the stand! So I'll be back in work and back to work before my main stand which is now on the back burner, gets built.
I'm so excited just to be able to work again. I've also got some really awesome girls on my team as well. I have girls who always want to improve themselves and who are willing to learn and grow with me. That was also always the issue with the stands I used to work for as well. I would do everything except make the final decision on hiring or payroll and scheduling. But i would have all the responsibilities of an owner without the title. So you can see why I'm super stoked about finally being able to start my own legacy.

Anyways
Also if I can afford it, because the stand is currently doing really bad right now is why he's willing to sell it to me, I'm going to open up and fund my own charity organization because there's nothing bigger than being able to help others who need a helping hand. And animals. I love all my furry and non furry critters. Well, most of them at least. Anyways
