As a coffee consultant, I've spent 8+ years helping entrepreneurs turn their coffee passions into reality. But sometimes, reality checks are necessary. Two months ago, I met a client with an ambitious plan: open a coffee shop in just 2 weeks. I knew it was logistically impossible. I told him, but he wouldn't listen. "It can't be done," I said. He got angry, claiming he knew people who could make it happen. I politely declined the project, knowing it was a recipe for disaster.
