It's estimated that 70 million cups of coffee are made on a daily basis in the UK, and that the average Briton drinks four cups of tea a day. The quality of
coffee available has never been better, and our knowledge about the varieties of tea around has come on in leaps and bounds since the days of PG Tips and chimpanzees in dresses. Meanwhile, research group Allegra Strategies estimates that Britain's coffee and tea culture generates an annual turnover of £2.5bn.
How many times have you sat down in a coffee shop, taken a look at the décor, the menu, the waiting staff, sampled the coffee and the obligatory piece of cake on offer and thought: `I could do better than this'?
Next question. How many people do you know who have begrudgingly eaten the aforementioned slice of decidedly average confection and have actually put their money where their mouth is and researched the idea of setting up on their own properly? It won't be surprising if your answer is not too many.

It's the massive leap that's so hard to do - moving from a dream to reality. And that's what this book's about. So many people imagine setting up on their own - but how many actually do it? The fact that you are reading this book at all is a good sign. It's a start. The aim of this book is to inspire you to turn your dream into reality: a successful coffee or tea shop. However, it will also give you a reality check: you aren't going to have your dream handed to you on a plate. That would
be having your cake and eating it too.

This is no job for the fainthearted. You will need guts, self-belief, determination, and the ability to work around the clock without fl agging. A good apple pie recipe
wouldn't go amiss either. You will need to give up your social life, if not permanently then at least for the fi rst year. Your family may have to take a back seat, unless they intend to help you out in the running of your new venture. And if you have a young family, make sure you can balance the two and you won't feel guilty sending the kids
to your mother-in-law yet again because your tills are on the blink.
