ON THE DELO: Arizona Restaurant & Hospitality Stories

Just wanted to share some love on the book "The Alchemist" if you have not read it, I highly recommend it.  By Paulo Coelho.  

For me it was a lesson of Love, finding your treasure, and living your best life.  Just a quick listen to me talking about my experience reading the book.  Thanks as always for listening.  Check out my website www.iamthedelo.com and follow me on IG @iamthedelo if you would be so kind !

Love you.

You are worth it.  Never doubt yourself.  

You lose 100% of the opportunities you don't ask for.  Now is the time.  The present is the time to make sure you engage with zero fear and just know you deserve it.

Sending positivity and love to all of you !

Have you ever heard the phrase I will get to it on Monday?

Sometimes we look for excuses to not start something.  I know for me it can come from the Fear of not being perfect.  Like this podcast.  Just because you may not have all the "tools" or so you think you don't.  It does not mean that you can't start your journey in whatever it is you want to dive into.  Finding a passion and going with it can really make your life exciting.  Even if it is not what you think it is to start you can always pivot and try something else.  Isn't that the magic of life? 

I wanted to start my short episode series with this topic because I am always guilty of wanting to start something but also thinking it always has to be "perfect".  What is perfect?  We will never really know.  It is always in our head and will never be achieved.

So go find what you love and start to make some progress on it.  I promise you it will change your perspective and over time you will look back and go.  Oh wow, I remember when I first tried to do that thing.  ;-)

A little bit about Josh...

Started bussing tables when I was 15 and have since then been working in Restaurants. Never have I had a job outside of the Restaurant business. I started my career in hotels and later found my passion to be in full-service casual dining operations. I’ve also run nightclubs, resorts and then recently got out of the daily grind of running a restaurant, and started consulting, which is how I found Sip Coffee and Beer. One of the investors was a friend of mine and he asked me to come take a look. I loved the concept and really like the dynamics and the idea of blending coffee and local craft beer. I was able to get some very positive results within a short amount of time. The other partners we so pleased, they asked me to come on board as Director of operations and an equity partner. I truly love what I do and very much believe I can help take sip National.
