In closing…
This is how culture works. It starts at the top and flows down.
The choke hold on any restaurant is the mindset of the owner and operators. You are your problems and you are your solution. You can get out of this by making a shift in your mindset. How can you do that? Get a coach or mentor to help you see through the story you keep telling yourself why you cannot have the restaurant you want. It’s not your staff. It’s not the economy. A lot of restaurants are recording record sales and profits this year. If your restaurant or life is not 100% the way you want it then you have to come to terms that It’s you.
You must breakup with the story and marry the truth. The truth will indeed set you free, after it first will really piss you off. If your restaurant is running you, then today is your day to do something about it. Taking control will not be easy when you’ve allowed it to get away from you. It will resist and push back. You will want to give in and go back to the easier way, don’t.
Anything worth fighting for is worth the struggle and discomfort. The most successful restaurant operators are comfortable with being uncomfortable. Tony Robbins says it best, “The quality of your life is in direct proportion to the amount of uncertainty you can comfortably deal with.”
