There's a great line from the book "The paradox of choice" by Barry Schwartz - “The more options we have, the less satisfied we are with whatever we choose.”
I was drawn to it recently when I was getting a coffee and some breakfast in Belfast - the choices we make and what influences them.
Location, price, familiarity, curiosity, recommendation - whatever motivates you puts pressure on the business owner to not only get it right first time but to keep getting it right, then changing, then going again all the while watching out for rising costs in produce, energy and the ever-decreasing attention span of humans - both staff and customers.
I have watched on as SEED have taken their successful, food-outlet business into the world of high value content, via social media, email and events.
If you are not familiar with them, check out their places in Dungannon and Lisburn Road - also their social media content SEED People on instagram and the brilliant content from chef, StevieB.

I used to work with a business man who was as good at coaching as he was at growing a multi-million pound business.
“I really pity the man that doesn’t know he doesn’t know.” He said to me one day, almost 20 years ago. It took a while to land but he was talking about that thing everyone is afflicted with – a blind spot.
The phrase ‘blind spot’ comes from the Johari Window, a psychological model developed in 1955 by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham — the name “Johari,” comes from a blend of their first names.
It was originally created as a framework for understanding and improving interpersonal communication, particularly within group dynamics and team settings.
As a coach, a manager to as a sales person intent on improving, it's important to spend some time looking for that which is harder to see - or those characteristics that you have been spending a lifetime trying to avoid
