Why Giving People Less Can Actually Make You More Money I stopped ordering from this local restaurant because every time I just wanted a simple fried chicken bucket, they’d pile on all these extras — a mountain of fries, coleslaw, biscuits, extra sauces, and even a dessert. It’s like, "Man, I just wanted the fried chicken!" All that extra stuff would sit in my fridge for a day or two, and then I’d end up throwing it away. And it felt bad because I knew there were people who would love to have that food. Next time, I’ll just order from somewhere else that gives me exactly what I want. Nothing more, nothing less. If they had just given me the fried chicken how I asked for it, I probably would’ve become a loyal customer. Selling works the same way. When we stop overloading our offers with extras people didn’t ask for and focus on exactly what they need, it becomes an easy yes.  And those customers will stick around long-term. Try it.

I wonder why Jasmeet Singh has stopped criticizing Loblaws for high grocery prices? I would almost have believed he had a hidden agenda for singling them out. As well as blaming retailers--what about manufacturers--we all get coupons for $1.00 or more on certain products--to bolster product loyalty--and more and more people are using them. But when is the last time you saw a coupon for a staple for a low income family: eg. Kraft or Black Diamond cheese slices (not the Gourmet ones), Wonder Bread, Campbell's Tomato Soup, Kraft Dinner etc.? Why do you think Jasmeet singled out Loblaws and not other chains and not manufacturers?

A year has passed since I closed the chapter with Sjaak's Organic Chocolates. I don't often open up about my personal life, but losing a job unexpectedly is not something you can easily share. The process of grieving that chapter took some time. Over the past year, I’ve applied to hundreds of graphic design positions, facing rejections and being ghosted more times than I can count. The tough job market can be incredibly discouraging, making me question my abilities as a designer. I even applied for a couple of barista jobs (no luck there either). Amidst the countless job applications and rejections, I've been nurturing my little coffee business. For years, I've had this deep desire to do something with coffee, but I hesitated, thinking my dream of owning a coffee shop was silly and I should just work as a "designer" with all the years I've gained. I am immensely grateful for my family and friends, who have been my pillars of support, constantly encouraging me to pursue this dream. Their unwavering belief in me has been the fuel I needed to keep going. Reflecting on this past year, I realize how much I've grown. I've learned resilience, patience, and the importance of believing in myself, even when the odds seem stacked against me. Each rejection taught me something new, making me a better designer and a more determined entrepreneur. I want to take a moment to appreciate the journey itself. Every setback was a setup for a comeback. These experiences have shaped me into someone stronger and more passionate about my dreams. To anyone facing similar struggles, remember that you are not alone. It's okay to feel discouraged, but never let it dim your light. Keep pushing forward, because your dreams are worth it. As for my little coffee business, it's growing day by day. I recently reached a significant milestone doing a *soft pop-up* and getting a Square reader (LOL), and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come. The dream that once seemed silly is now my reality, and I'm thrilled to see where this path will lead. Here's to chasing dreams, embracing the journey, and believing in ourselves. The road might be tough, but the destination is worth every step. This is just the beginning of it all. #smallbuisness #sandiego
