@beckydu512 It didn't feel much different than being a Barista :)... It was my dad and I working side by side for 12+ hours a day 7 days a week. It was a lot of work but so rewarding at the same time. This is where I built so many wonderful relationships with customers I still know and see today. As a young ceo, the biggest challenge was not knowing what I didn't know. I solved that by seeking guidance, keeping an open mind, asking stupid questions with focus on the right answer, crazy strong determination, competitiveness and passion for quality and people. I still have a lot to learn but I believe determination w/ a great ability to learn trumps any academic accolade.
