British people are famous for drinking tea. But brother and sister, Sahar and Bobby Green, became young millionaires( 百万富翁) when they opened a chain American-style coffee shops in the U.K.
Having the idea: It started when Sahar took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sahar told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they start their own coffee shop. Sahar fell in love with the idea.
Making it work: After doing the research, in November 1995,they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London. The first year was very difficult. There were problems finding and deeping staff, and British people were not used to the names of American coffees, life latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has revenues( 总收入) of ￡30 million a year.
Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She believes success is 1%idea and 99% hard work, but she says,“ If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”
