It'sThe Economy Stupid

“High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles and you can make your dreams come true.”
~Robert H. Schuller

We had a series of meetings today with some people who are on the peripheral of the 3 concepts we are putting into City Center and you would think from the reactions they gave we where trying to reinvent the wheel! We where told if we "wait just two more years",even though it would cost 5 times more than what we are paying for construction now, we will have a sure bet on our hands. The funny thing is the guys who where saying this have never owned a business and don't have a dime invested. After thanking them for there sage advice (wink) we got back on course to opening THE CUP which as you are aware by now is the first restaurant we are to complete. Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing these guys but merely pointing out the difference between an entrepreneur and a mid-level manager. Entrepreneur's actually make it happen where management, through no fault of there own, can only stay within the lines because that's what business school has taught them!

To be clear All of us are well aware of how tight the economy is and how bad things are as I am sure everyone has someone, as do I, directly or indirectly affected by this recession and believe me we are all being as cautious as we can. What I see however is the possibility of entrepreneurs like myself and my principle investors to make something happen for the better.

Upon completion of all three concepts we will have approximately 60 full time and 40 additional part-time positions to fill all at a time where layoffs are decimating the rest of the country...we are building..cautiously mind you but building still!

City Center itself will have close to 10,000+ employee's supporting numerous families throughout Las Vegas not to mention all the support a city within a city needs to thrive from the surrounding area.

I believe we are making the right moves at the right time! Our goal is to provide exceptional,sustainable coffee & food at a reasonable profit all withing the walls of a green building.

Yes, I agree It is the Economy Stupid and what we do NOW is what will shape us all into the future and sitting buy and watching is not an option.
