Episode 42 – 6 Steps to Set Your Restaurant for Success in 2020



Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant. Soon, the end is coming. Well the end of the year and like it or not 2020 will be here! Right now you are most likely making big plans and promises to yourself that 2020 is going to be your year! You are going to finally stop playing small and conquer your market.

Yeah, I know you made those same promises at the beginning of this last year too. This next year is going to be different, right?

Oh, Not so fast.

You need a better plan if you want to make 2020 your best year ever for your restaurant. Those big goals are not going to happen without one. In fact, the bigger your goals, the bigger and more badass plan you need to have to ensure they happen. That’s the thing most fail to do, write down a plan and then take action each day to seeing if you are moving closer to hitting those targets. Stop trying to keep all that stuff in your head and start writing it down where you can put it into a damn action plan!

Restaurant success isn’t rocket science, it’s people science. Once you understand that (and more importantly yourself) you’ll be on your way to finally breaking free from where you are now.

Here are 6 steps you must take to set your restaurant up for massive success in the new year or any year for that matter!

Episode 40 – Watch Out for These Mental Traps!



Welcome to The Restaurant Coach Podcast, it is the cure for the common restaurant. If you haven’t been over to my new website The Restaurant Coach™.com, I invite you to go and check it out. Also, if you seem to be stuck getting things done each month I have the perfect tool for you. It’s called The RestaurantMAP™, and it is the same system I use with my private coaching clients to get consistent results every month. You can download it for free by heading to the link in the show notes.

Today I want to talk about what is standing in your way from getting the restaurant and life you want. I know that running a restaurant is tough. Being a leader is tough. I mean that. It’s hard to get up, get motivated, and head to work trying to keep your energy high while running a restaurant. Some days you feel like you got this under control and other days you feel like your restaurant runs you.

What separates those good days from the bad days? It’s your mindset. Okay, that sounds basic and boring… but it’s the truth. You determine the success or failure of each day by the meaning you attach to each situation that pops up.

These mental traps are the biggest obstacle you will face.
