Business Talk Over Coffee

It is fun to have a business talk with a friend over coffee. It was a surprise over the holidays that we met an old friend of mine who is just vacationing here for the holidays with her family. We met at Starbucks accidentally after Christmas and before New Year. We had a little business talk over coffee one time while she waited for her hubby and child to meet her there after an hour on our second meet there.  I ordered my fave holiday drink – a tall, hot Starbucks peppermint mocha. We both have the same fave holiday coffee beverage from Starbucks actually!

According to my friend, they plan to start a small business since they have somehow been able to save more since they have been working abroad with her husband for more than three years already. She had been encouraging me to venture into my own business as well. If ever I would go into business, it would probably have something to do with food. But since I heard in the news on TV about feng shui in the year of the dragon, it was said that going into a restaurant business this year is not recommended. Hopefully this is not true for I don’t want this to discourage those who are pursuing a restaurant business this 2012. But as for my friend, they are determined to pursue their business this year with the help of a few friends over there in UK. It was a fun yet short business talk over coffee. At the end it left me thinking why not indeed. Who knows one day I’ll be thinking of starting a small business of our own as long as we have the right knowledge and proper funding for capital.
