Dear Friend and Fellow Entrepreneur,

How many times have you read how you could:

• Take Over a Closed Coffee Shop, Open and Make HUGE Profits...
• Use Your EXCELLENT Credit To Get a Loan To Open a Coffee Shop...
• Hire A Top Barista To Run Your Shop For You...
• Have Your Coffee Roaster Help You Get Open...

Reality is, all have a lot of truth to them.  However, when starting a coffee shop business, even having these elements in place guarantees you nothing if you do not have a foundation to build your new business upon.  Just because you have excellent credit does not mean you know how to run a business.  This is where some banks fail.  They want a place to hang their hats.  And being a top barista is a great honor but that does not mean they can run a shop.  Get the picture?

Some prospective owners think they have to:

• Be an expert "barista" (you will with time and practice, but it's realistic to know everything about making coffee drinks when you start!)
• Know all about coffee beans and coffee bean roasting (I didn't when I first started out!)
• Have a lot of experience in the coffee business and retail (Huh?...) 

The Fact Is, You Can Open A Profitable Coffee Shop Without A Lot of Experience In The Industry... Once You Discover The Insider Secrets to Success included in my plan!

There are quite a few choices for business plans out there that claim to be for opening a coffee shop, but are flat out NOT.

You cannot offer realistic and relevant advice to start a coffee shop unless you have actually started a coffee shop, owned a coffee shop and have worked in a coffee shop. It just does not make sense!

Only someone who has been there can tell you what time of year is best to open, how much money you will really need, who your REAL competition is and what operations you should have in place.

Believe me, I learned the hard way that knowledge is more valuable than $50,000 in the bank IF you know how to use it - and utilizing my experience to avoid costly mistakes is like being given success on a platter with the choice of how to create it. Plain and simple, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

Tony DiCorpo "The Coffee Shop Biz Wiz"

Meet Tony DiCorpo

My name is Tony DiCorpo. I opened, owned and recently sold a coffee house in Austin, Texas. But it did not come easy. I enjoy showing up and coming entrepreneurs that want to start a coffee shop what works and what does not in this business.

In plain English, I tell the truth. If you buy some of the other products that teach you about opening a coffee shop, you will most likely be told lies, misled, and end up with a business plan that is not even written by a coffee shop owner, operator and entrepreneur!

Heck, most of the plans out there are for some other venture with only the type of business changed! Some of them are not even business plans! Tony's Coffee Shop Business Plan package is a carefully crafted and expensive-lesson-learned business plan, and more to help you on the road to fulfilling your dream to start a coffee shop.

When you are finished reading this letter, you will know:

1. Who is NOT your real competition in the specialty coffee industry; Hint: it rhymes with Charbucks!

2. Why I made several costly mistakes and how you can avoid them;

3. Why you should not trust most advice from anyone that has not opened a coffee shop, worked in it AND owned it;

4. Why most traditional advertising is a waste of time and YOUR money;

5. Why My Business Plan package is much more valuable than any other business plan 'template' or 'how to open a coffee shop book or Ebook' out there;

But Don't Just Take My Word For It... Listen To What Other Coffee Shop Owners Have To Say:

Here's proof that anyone can open a profitable coffee shop by using my tried and true business plan:

Do you know the top two reasons that most businesses fail within the first year?

Under capitalization and lack of planning!  

I thought I would open the doors and the customers would flock to me and I would have money to run my shop...  Right! 

Besides business obligations, you still need to eat, pay your home mortgage or rent, get gasoline and more.  My business plan package gives you ideas for funding sources, ideas for how much you may need to open and stay afloat until you have a customer base.  Among other essentials, this business plan will show you what you will need to drastically increase your chances of success.

Did you know that opening a coffee shop at the wrong time of the year can set you on a course for disaster?

Timing is everything in the specialty coffee business.  Not being prepared for a rush of customers on a cold winter day is not a good situation to be in!

Do you know the six basics you need to start a coffee shop and remain open, even before profitability?

Without these six basic elements working in your favor, you will be closed before you know it.  I will tell you about them in detail so you will not make the same mistakes I made, or the same mistakes that so many other good, aspiring entrepreneurs make going into this business.  I will show you that you can make as much as $300,000.00 in sales your first year!

There are many 'secrets' to success in this business. 

The reality is that if you plan for success, you greatly reduce your chances of failure.... you need a solid business plan for starting a coffee shop

When I wrote the original version of this plan in 2002, I was planning a coffee shop that I ended up never opening for various reasons.  I read and studied NUMEROUS versions of business plans and picked sections from some and added things to suit what I thought I needed.  I also made lots of coffee shop visits.  Did lots of sampling.  I read statistics on the coffee industry.  I learned the history, drew floor plans, added menus, business cards, resumes and more.  I reworked it until I was satisfied.  I also had not a shred of experience or any foundation to base things on. 

When preparing your plan to open a coffee shop, do NOT trust most advice you hear from anyone that has NEVER opened, owned and operated a coffee shop!

My banker said "Tony that is the best put together business plan and package that I have ever seen.  I have never seen one so concise, and full of useful information.”  Now, this was coming from a banker, (aka the guy to approve or decline a loan!), not a small business person, and certainly not a coffee shop owner or operator.  In 2004, I finally had the opportunity to put the plan to use and so I opened my shop and followed the plan.  Then, mistakes followed:  Unrealistic calculations in sales projections, used equipment that began to fail, a bad location, wrong demographics, under capitalization, and a lot more.  All by following that same plan that the banker said was the best he had ever seen.  Yes, written by an entrepreneur, but not one that was ever in the coffee business, namely a coffee shop entrepreneur, owner and operator.

Something to ponder...

I do not proclaim to have dozens of years experience but I can tell you that since I opened my store and made costly mistakes, I will never make those same mistakes again.  I can show you how you can have sales of $300,000.00 plus your very first year.  I wish I had this plan then.  That is why I wanted to share this business plan with others whom are starting a coffee shop business.

When preparing your plan to start a coffee shop, do NOT trust most advice from anyone that has NEVER opened, owned and operated a coffee shop!

(Yes, I did repeat myself purposely!)

Folks, this business plan is not based on theory from some other business, or some other business plan, or some wannabe entrepreneur, or some group of 'professionals' that took a taco shack business plan, changed some words and ‘ran it past’ industry "gurus", seasoned bankers, grandma and a gnome for approvals.  It’s what I wrote as I fixed a lot of costly mistakes I made.  It is also how I will operate any new coffee houses I open (which are on the horizon)! 

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

Do you know why most traditional advertising is a waste of money for a specialty coffee shop?

When I first opened my shop, I did not know how to effectively market it.  We followed basic sales instinct and used the traditional advertising route.  Like most people would think, you send out postcards to the neighborhood, ads in the local papers, Val-Pak mailers and even door hangers on every door, all advertising open for business, discount coupons, specials yadda yadda yadda.  We only received a hand full of coupons back and the customer traffic was awful!

That's because to properly get a return on your advertising investment, you have to have repetition.  Unfortunately, repetition costs lots of money and in most cases, it just does not work in the specialty coffee industry.  Do the math on how many $5.00 mochas you would need to sell to make up a cost of mailing 10,000 post cards for $3500.00, or a dozen $50.00 ads in your local paper.

In my business plan, I will share with you what forms of advertising you should actually spend your hard-earned money on, and how you can reap the benefits of expensive advertising without spending much, if any money at all on it.

We spent $12,000 on a 4 group espresso machine and customers don't like the drinks it makes.  What kind of junk did that salesman sell us?

Well, fortunately for you the only junk you bought was most likely the espresso you are using.  Compound that with a few other basic mistakes I will tell you about and you have a recipe for disaster.  I'll also share with you what type of equipment you might need based on several factors.

Would you rather shoot from the hip, open by trial and error or have a proven and relevant foundation to base things on?

I repeat: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

No matter what you do, if you do not have a foundation (like this industry specific plan and package), you will not be able to open as smoothly as possible.  Offering you this plan is meant to get your business off the ground as hiccup-free as possible.  A lot of the relevant research you will need, great shop operations and our experience are all at your fingertips. 

Now before you say this business plan is the answer to your financial dreams, stop!

This is not a get rich quick scheme.  It's not a 'template' to plug your name into and viola, your business plan pops out.  It's designed to help you avoid costly errors that a novice can make.  Being a true entrepreneur requires dedication and passion.  Owning a coffee shop is a lot of work and responsibility, let alone operating it and working in it. 

Make the commitment to yourself that you have passion and dedication, and the desire to succeed!

Absentee owners still need passion and commitment but this plan will work for you too.  The reality here is that you will need to meet a lot more requirements and hit the nail on the head the first time.  I can show you how you can achieve this.

Here is how you can put my Business Plan Package to use:

When I put together Tony's Coffee Shop Business Plan Package that I use on a daily basis and made it available to other entrepreneurs, I decided to charge less for it than most professional consultants would charge you for a few hours of consulting services.  Even though my Business Plan Package is worth a whole lot more than that, it is yours for your investment of just $197.00 $47.00!  This product regularly sells for $197.00!  Don't wait too long though because this price will not last!

"BUT $197.00 $47.00 IS STILL A LOT OF MONEY TO ME", you say?"

Well, in retrospect you are correct.  But would you go to war without a battle plan? 

I repeat: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

If you hired a consultant to work with you from the beginning, you will pay $5000-$10,000.  I know many consultants in this industry (I am one of them) and most are legitimate, and our time and experience is money.  This plan is for the self-starter.  Plus, so many consultants are no longer coffee shop owners or operators for years, some for 10-20 years, or NEVER WERE!  Things change all the time and unless you are in this business daily, there is a lot to miss.  Purchasing my package will offer you that foundation to base your coffee shop dream upon.

Now, let me ask you how many times have you spent $197.00 $47.00 on useless stuff?  This package will pay for itself over and over again for years to come.

Do you want to make an decent and honest living with great pay, drink and serve the best coffee in town and make GREAT profits?

Well I'll say it again, owning and operating a coffee shop is a lot of work.  However, if you have read this far and can say you are serious about making the commitment, then this business plan package is for you.  There are no guarantees in life except for dying and paying taxes.  Then again, you can hit the lottery tomorrow.  Or get run over by a monkey on a steam roller.  I will tell you however, that over time you will earn your time off, daily golf date and big profits if you plan correctly. 

All in all, these extras make Tony's Coffee Shop Business Plan Package the best deal out there today for opening your coffee shop dream!

So for $197.00 $47.00 you get my complete, highly detailed sample business plan for coffee shop start-ups, and over $1500.00 in extras!

You know, I have spent countless hours on research and thousands of dollars on books and industry tradeshows and seminars, and some years of my life figuring out the ins and outs of this business.  Not to mention the COUNTLESS TENS OF THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of dollars wasted on this mistake and that mistake.  I sure would not want to do that all again.

Why should you even think about it at all?  You can reap the rewards of my sweat and have all the information and knowledge at just a fraction of the time and money it took for me to get here today.

So, what are you waiting for?

Just know that I am one person and when I hit my quota of students needing personal coaching, I may take this site down at any time, so don't delay!  And then again, the price could go up.  So what ARE you waiting for?  You deserve to live your dreams and desires.  If you have the commitment, passion and drive to work hard, be an entrepreneur and have fun at a career, then do yourself a favor:  Buy Tony's Coffee Shop Business Plan.  You will not be sorry!

So now you have a couple of choices.
