SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:
Are you trying to figure out how to make your business less dependent on you? Wish you could spend more time managing people and generating new business rather than doing the work? Wonder if you could take a real vacation while the business continues to operate smoothly? These are all questions faced by growing businesses.
Come to this GROW seminar, where you will learn practical strategies for making your business process-dependent vs. person-dependent, so you can manage it proactively rather than reactively. In addition to experienced entrepreneurs and consultants who will discuss these strategies, we will feature a live case study of a business owner who successfully made the transition from working "in" the business to working "on" it.

Doug Zell's involvement with coffee began in the early 1990s. He had moved to California to begin a new business venture. It ultimately failed and landed him in San Francisco where he drank his first cup of real Specialty Coffee at the now defunct Spinelli Coffee. It was love at first taste. After stints at Peet?s Coffee and Spinelli Coffee, working in various capacities from barista to management, Doug moved to Chicago with his wife and future business partner, Emily Mange. They devised a business plan in his parent's basement and emerged to found and open Intelligentsia Coffee in Chicago?s Lakeview East neighborhood on October 9th, 1995. Doug has literally held every position in the company from coffee buyer, to roaster, to barista, to delivery driver, to bill collector, to Art Director, to chief floor sweeper and everything in between. He currently serves as Intelligentsia?s CEO, a position that he finds alternatively thrilling and maddening. Under his watch the company has grown from one retail store to two and from zero wholesale accounts to several hundred.
