This is Thanksgiving week and I want to take a few minutes to walk you through an exercise of Thanksgiving…

Today we are going to talk deeply about TEAM BUILDING

This is a MUST Listen for every restaurant owner in America…

I saw a really good video on the internets of Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank

talking about Signal vs Noise.

A FEW YEARS AGO – I heard Steve Job Talk About this…

A few months ago I heard Elon Musk talking about this …

This concept is REALLY RELEVANT - to you today…

I going to break it down and put it to you - in a way that you can use –

TO BUILD A BETTER RESTAURANT

Today I’m going to teach you the secret to building a great and enduring company.

This truly is the road to success - IF you can do it...

So perk up and pay attention…

Today I want to introduce a bold idea.

I want you to block THREE – big negative thoughts - before we get started…

The first is - This is the way we have always done it

The Second is - Fear of the unknown

And the third negative I want you to put down is - worrying about what “THEY” will say…

Can you do it… Let’s Find Out…

Forrest Gump Said - Life is like a box of chocolates…

Last week we talked about the box - this week we’re gonna talk about the chocolates – the individual pieces inside the box - the players…

Today’s pep talk is the second part of a two part mini-series on Team Building.

If you did not listen to last week’s pep talk called - YOUR BOX

I recommend you go back and listen to it BEFORE starting this one…

Restaurant-ing can be a VERY complicated matter…

Today I am going to tell you a story… actually this will be more like an ALLEGORY…

My objective is to simplify – the idea of how a restaurant works – and your role in it…

The World can be a tough – mean – ruthless – unforgiving place…

People want to tear you down.

They want to destroy your ideas and beliefs especially if your ideas are new or radically different than the norm - different than the common – accepted rules of thought and behavior – that they believe.

The Greek Philosopher Seneca said

"ENDLESS PLEASURE BECOMES IT’S OWN FORM OF PUNISHMENT"

If I could only do ONE Pep Talk for the rest of my Life

this would be it..!

Today’s message is SIMPLE and VERY Straight Forward…

So Listen Up..!
