Keys To The Shop : Equipping Coffee Shop Leaders

SHIFT BREAK! Let Your Cafe Be

October 8, 2026·9 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In the ecosystem of entrepreneurship we glorify and practice a certain kind of paranoia about our businesses. We are never happy and always suspecting we are behind, or broken in some secret way that we need to find. The result is that, even when we arrive to a good place, our ability to recognize it and rest in it is nonexistent. Today on Shift Break we will be talking about why we sometimes need to just let our businesses be. Rest in what has been made and grown and demonstrate to those you lead how to enjoy and be fully present in the moments that you all have worked hard to bring to bear.   Related episodes:  SHIFT BREAK: Rest and Meaningful Work SHIFT BREAK!
