☀️ No Bad Mornings! ☕️

Today, Fayette County CEO had the pleasure of meeting with Cyrus Fontaine, owner of Cumberland Road Coffee House in St. Elmo! Cyrus shared the ins and outs of running a successful business and reminded us of some important lessons along the way.

A few key takeaways included:
✨ People are at the center of your business.
✨ Consistency brings people back!
✨ Remember where your products come from.
✨ Use your resources and learn from those who inspire you.
✨ There are no guarantees, so keep learning from your mistakes.
✨ Let your team be part of the creative process. Our very own Elyse created AUTUMN DAZE LATTE from the fall specials and it’s a number one seller!
✨ Bravery and enthusiasm will take you far!

We were also excited to see our very own CEO alum, Lydia! ❤️

A HUGE thank-you to Cyrus and his wonderful staff at Cumberland Road Coffee House for welcoming us and sharing their knowledge with our class. And we can’t forget to mention that the chocolate chip cookies are AMAZING! 🍪
