Time is our most precious resource. Most of us feel like we don’t have enough of it, don’t use it to its highest impact, and feel like if we only had more, we could do and be more. 

But, what sets apart those people who seem to have more time than the rest of us? What are they doing (and not doing) that expands their capacity?

Kymme Williams is one of those people. She is the founder of Bushwick Grind Cafe, a massively successful cafe and catering business in Brooklyn, NY. In addition to running a complex and growing business, she simultaneously held a senior leadership role in a large global organization for 8 years.

But, how did she have the time for her 9-5 and her cafe and her family and herself? In one word: Purpose!

She fell in love with the science of coffee. She visited coffee roasters and learned about the economics of coffee and the effect that coffee farming has on the local populations, particularly education, women’s health, and the availability of drinking water. 

She fell in love with the community and the connections she made as she watched people fall in love, find purpose, and build their lives over cups of coffee.

She leveraged the symbiotic relationship between her day job and her side hustle, and let each role strengthen the other.

She partnered with her husband to expand time by each taking ownership of the tasks that leveraged their individual strengths.

Finally, she didn’t let fear or well-meaning business advice keep her from going ahead with her plans.  After all, no business plan in the world would account for Covid.  The most important thing is to have a purpose.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What it takes to lead with “yes.”

• How to measure success in a way that is authentic to you.

• How to get started even if you don’t feel it’s a perfect time, or you don’t have all of the answers.
