Yesterday's call reminded me exactly why I started this community. The questions were honest. The energy was real. And a few of the conversations that came up are ones I want to keep going — because they touched on things that almost every aspiring café owner is sitting with right now. The recording is now up. 👇 Here the Link If you were on the call — thank you. You made it worth showing up for. If you weren't — I get it, life happens. But I want to be straight with you: these calls are one of the highest-value things we do here, and showing up live makes a real difference. You get to ask your specific question, hear what others are navigating, and leave with clarity you can act on the same day. What would you ask me if you were on the next one? Drop it below — let's get the conversation started early. 💬 Next call 11th of June about "Tech & Tools for Your Shop" with some super exciting Pilot I have been working on, at 18:00 CET - Follow the Link to save it in your calendar — Juan

I want to share something I have noticed after running this community for a while. Thousands of people have joined. People with real ideas, real passion, and a genuine dream of opening their own café. ☕ And most of them are still waiting. Not because life got in the way. Not because the idea was bad. But because of one sentence that kills more dreams than any business failure ever could: "I'll do the course one day." One day when things calm down. One day when I have more money. One day when the timing feels right. Here is the truth nobody says out loud: 🎯The timing never feels right. The money is never quite enough. Things never fully calm down. The people in this community who have gone on to take real steps — I want to take a moment to shout them out. 👏 @Wayne Salat , @Edward Hodson , @Balog Krisztina — you started before you felt ready. You asked the uncomfortable questions. You moved when it would have been easier to wait. That takes courage and I respect it deeply. They were not more ready than you are right now. 🔥 They just decided that one day was today. They opened the first module before they felt ready. They sent the first message before they had all the answers. They started moving before the path was fully clear. And the path became clear because they started moving. If you have been sitting on this dream — I am not here to pressure you. I am here to tell you honestly that the gap between where you are and where you want to be is not as wide as it feels right now. ☕ It closes one step at a time. But only if you take the first one. Send me a DM with your situation — where you are, what your concept is, what is holding you back — and I will tell you the single most important thing to focus on right now. No pitch. Just clarity on your immediate next step. 💬

I am currently in planning planning phase and I made a GoFundMe link for my small cafe business and looking equipment and ingredients as well

We're going live in a few hours for our weekly Q&A call. No slides. No prepared script. Just your questions and my honest answers — based on 6 years of building, running, and exiting one of Vienna's top specialty cafés. The stat that keeps coming up in this community: More than 60% of coffee shops struggle financially in their first years. Not because the coffee was bad. Because the decisions were wrong — and most of them were made before opening day. This call exists so you don't make those decisions blind. Bring your toughest question. The one you've been sitting on. The one that feels too basic or too specific to ask anywhere else. There is no wrong question here. ☕ Drop your question in the comments below and I'll answer it live today. 👉 Join the call here at 20:00 CET See you in a few hours. — Juan
