A Business Plan Is Supposed to Change
My 2024 business plan changed dramatically, but I still think it was a good plan. The model moved; the reason for Filgap did not, and the planning still matters.
How I Turn a Coffee Shop Plan Into a Timeline
A useful opening timeline is more than a list of dates. I work backward from real deadlines, map what depends on what, and leave buffer where one delay can move everything behind it.
What Could Break the Business?
Before I worry about sales, I need a product worth selling. For Filgap, risk starts with quality and keeping enough room to learn when an assumption is wrong.
Where we are now
We’re working toward our first Farmers’ Market season in Squamish. Until then, we’re working from a dedicated small-batch roasting space — roasting, testing, gathering feedback, and documenting the process here.
