Everything is every thing (opening day location 1/100. X days away)
I am learning to grasp the reality of the inevitability of completion. Everything works out in the end. Maybe not the way that we planned but they do nevertheless. leaning on this truth has helped salve some of my anxiety throughout this construction process. I have have had to lean so much on muscles and business tools that have not been habits for me in my recent iteration of restaurant operations. There have been so many zoom calls. This is not the norm for me and being that 90% of them involve me listening and facilitating; This is a new muscle. A lot more of my work in opening this restaurant has been more planning , waiting and explaining to multiple parties our timeline, roles and my personal needs from them. The way my funding is set up through sba , all of my working capital is tied up until the construction part of the process is complete and I have occupancy from the city . This have created another bottleneck for smaller things to get done as the dollars to complete are on hold until project completion. What my main focus is on right now attacking with all diligence those things which I can have an effect on and putting to the side those things which I don’t. Approaching this project this way feels like a strategy towards completion where focusing on what i cant do feels like waiting . This I have little patience for if in waiting I feel helpless and things aren’t getting done.
