I’m so
excited I feel like I have won Lotto (I haven’t), I solve a huge problem I had.
You know that saying “Good things come to those that wait” It’s true It’s TRUE.
Imagine me doing a happy dance Haha
I’ll start
at the beginning.
I’ve been
doing my BBQ’s now for about 4 ½ years were we give free food, toiletries and
much more to Homeless and People in Need every 8 weeks helping between
400-1,000 at a time (Need Help). I still do them. The thing I kept thinking was
that yes we were doing an awesome thing but I’m a firm believer in “Give a man
a fish and he gets to eat for the day, but if you teach him how to fish then he
eats everyday” So I thought of a awesome idea where I put coffee shops together
and then using the charity I put together “Signal Flare” and it awesome volunteers
help people with everything to get people on their feet like accommodation,
hair cut, clothes and really a lot of things that people need, then through the
coffee shops give them training to learn a skill that they can take anywhere.
But best of all they would be paid above award wages.
So in fact
we would have Homeless or People in Need getting on their feet in a huge way
and then getting skills they can take anywhere. An awesome idea even if I say
so myself. Haha
Now the next
bit I write is not in any way meant to be harsh or mean. I’m not complaining or
putting any one person down. Just explaining the way it was.
“Having a Go
Coffee” was born and yes it had it’s up’s and down’s like any business. But the
positives of what this project could do was just too good to not do it.
The problem,
Helping people on their feet didn’t mean they were ready to work, some picked
up the skills and working idea very well while others umm well not so quick
even though they were on good money. For example we had an awesome guy working
but anything more than swiping the floor in tasks we were in trouble. I know in
time confidence would come and really that was the whole idea of this project.
But to stay in operation I had to hire more people to keep get the duties done
to still operate as a coffee shop during busy times while I had one or two
cleaning and watching. Let’s face it you need someone that can make a coffee in
a coffee shop which meant extra wages.
The first
store was opened and then the second. Promoting here and elsewhere people loved
the idea and people would come all the way from Ipswich (40km) and The Gold
Coast (90km) which was awesome but the sad fact was people were not coming in
everyday. They were once in a while and because of the distance I really do
understand.
There’s my
problem, I had to employ extra staff to keep open while paying for people to
get their confidence and then skills. Paying above award wages on too many
staff sets business’s back. I wanted to keep the workers with no skills to help
them to learn their new skills and stay on their feet. Otherwise there was no
reason to have the shop in the first place.
As you can
understand this was a huge problem and to make this worst I came up with the
idea of having a shop which gives clothes to the Homeless and People in Need
for free (Like a Thrift shop but it’s all free to those in need) 7 days a week.
Having a Go Coffee would be at the front of the shop selling coffee and making
money.
THE SOLUTION: A lady “Janette” came to me saying
she had a great idea. Through her I meet an awesome guy “Adrian”. Now I to say
the first time I meet Adrian was as a volunteer at our Ipswich Homeless BBQ we
had not long ago. He’s very successful as a businessman but I remember that
first day him saying “People can make money but if you don’t give back to the
community then what’s the point”. We form an amazing friendship and in time brought
to me a solution to my problem.
He
introduced “Organo Gold”. This is going to help me to help so many more people
I really do thing I’m as happy as if I have won Lotto. Okay here’s how it
works.
Organo Gold
is boxes/ satchels of coffee which our customers that come from local or far
away can buy and get it delivered to their house. It means Having a Go Coffee
can make money 24hrs and still be able to support the extra staff and helping
people from the one location. I had a dream of opening 50 coffee shops and
helping thousands of people to get a huge start in life. You see as these
people I’ve helped move on the store is still there to help and employ the next
person in a huge way.
Now I haven’t
enough told you the best bits about Organo Gold. But if I put it in point form
people will see different things they like and some maybe not. But point form
is easier for me to do it.
·
Organo
Gold have their own Fundraising plans, designed to help charities to raise
profits
·
Organo
Gold is healthy, I know drinking healthy coffee, who thought. But it’s got
Ganoderma in it which was a herb that only the Chinese Royal family were
allowed to use for centuries. Ganoderma has a nickname “King of herbs” and one
thing I know is the Chinese know their herb’s.
·
Organo
Gold has only been in Australia for about 12 months and is in 35+ countries
around the world.
·
Organo
Gold has in their structure to help give back to the community with it’s members
helping charities and such, to be honest Organo Gold is sending 20 volunteers
to our next Homeless BBQ at Ipswich, Queens park, 10am on the 27th
of April.
·
I
ask about 100 people to try this coffee and only had 4 people say they don’t
like it.
·
Comes
in different styles
1. Black Coffee
2. Cafe Latte
3. Cafe Mocha
4. Green Tea
5. And of course Hot Chocolate.
This is going to save Having a Go Coffee by offering a home delivery
as a extra income. It’s now looking at a huge future were I feel nothing can
stop it. So if you want to earn extra money doing coffee which nearly everyone
drinks or just want to buy it for yourself then please contact me on 0412 190
011 or grantthepoliteguy@gmail.com
and let’s show the community coming together to help and please have a cup of
coffee.
The reason I promoted Adrian so much is because he gave hundred’s
of sample’s which he donated and paid for out of his pocket so I can invite
people to try this coffee. If you want to try this coffee I’ll invite you to my
place or I’ll come to you and you can invite others to come for a coffee and
chat. Very social.
Thank you for reading my blog and I hope you have a great
day.
