British people are famous for drinking tea. But both Sahar and Bobby Green became young millionaires(百万富翁) when they opened a chain of American-style(美国风味的) 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.
Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I know there was a gap (缺口) in the market.” In November 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London.
Making it work:The first year was very difficult. There were problems finding and keeping staff, and British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like 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(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.”

My uncle has a very beautiful umbrella. He's had it for years. As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new. 1 He shook his head. "Then how did you get it?" I asked. "Well," he answered, "there' s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella. 2 And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop. 3 What was worse, there even wasn't a person around, and still it rained and rained. At last a young man came to the place where I was standing. 4 As I hoped he would allow me to walk to the next corner with him, where I could get a taxi, I stepped out of the dark doorway where I had been standing. 5 As I suddenly appeared before him, the young man was so shocked that he dropped the umbrella. He ran away and disappeared into the darkness. I picked up the umbrella and continued my walk. I knew it would be hard in this big city to find the owner, so I've kept it ever since."
