Have you ever noticed that some of your employees - never get it – They never grow. While other people - just get it - right away?

That’s because some people ARE the RIGHT fit. They have the RIGHT physical and mental make-up for THIS Type of Work.

And the Wrong People - Do Not.

The restaurant business involves HARD work. Restaurant-ing is a LABOR intensive business. The BIGGEST problem we face today is finding GOOD People who will SHOW UP and WORK HARD.

Today I am going to discuss one of the biggest things - I think is behind – this problem…

Do you ever feel like you know what you NEED to do – to move forward and achieve your goal, But for some reason… You just can’t get to it… You just can’t DO IT... You just can’t make it happen…

If that sounds like you… You’re in Luck – Because THAT is what we are going to talk about Today..?

Today’s Pep Talk is Personal. I am going to share a little insight into my personal journey. I’m going to share what I’ve been doing and what I’ve been going through

And I hope – I truly hope you find something that helps you keeps going… And going and going…

The world is going crazy!

The world is through the biggest changes I have even seen. As restaurant owners we must constantly innovate, adapt and improve.

Today I am going to talk about THREE Big Things that will help you LIVE!

Can you take TWO WEEKS off right now without your restaurant falling apart? Unfortunately most restaurant owners, like 90% of us would HAVE TO answer -NO to that question …

If you want to turn that around and answer in the affirmative - There IS something you can do – and it starts with two simple words – COMMANDERS INTENT

I'm going to show you how to use Commanders Intent to empower our managers and team - So the team can make decisions and act – without you being present.

There are thousands of things that need to be done to keep the restaurant Relevant and Thriving. The problem is knowing What is Important - NOW - Today.

Everything SEEMS Important – because everything IS Important

We need to INCREASE SALES and make a PROFIT

We need to satisfy the CUSTONMER and Keep EMPLOYEES Happy.

We need to INNOVATE and Keep the place CLEAN and ORGANIZED.

We need to build the SYSTEM and Improve QUALITY

And we need the FREEDOM to live our personal lives…

And not be a slave to our business.

SO… how do we manage all of that - without going crazy…?

Well that is what we are going to talk about today…

Restaurant owners are busy people. There is always a thousand things to do. Getting Important work done is Important. Really Important.

BUT – How do we know What the MOST Important Thing is..?

How do we know what to do – First second and third..?

Well that’s what we are going to talk about today…

If you have been following this podcast for a while you know that I believe in EIGHT Basic fundamentals. And the First of all the fundamentals is WE NEED A WORTHY GOAL. The goal is a very important part of the process of success.

As I was watching college football over the holidays I made an observation. As both teams entered the field before the game – they both had the same goal - To WIN the game. BUT as we all know – only one team will achieve their goal.

Also as we enter the NFL Post season there are a dozen or so teams that also have the same goal - To win the Super Bowl.

BUT as we all know – only one team win the Superbowl this year.

So if Goals are so important… And NOT every team can achieve their goal… There must be something else going on… Behind the scenes.

And That is what I want to talk about and dissect.

As a leader of your people and your team… Have you ever tried to raise the standards in your restaurant… To get your people to do something new, or change a behavior… Or - do a certain thing – better… Or just take action on something that needs to be done.

And you just can’t get it to happen… They won’t do it.

Has that happened to you…?

Have you or your managers - experienced this phenomenon in your restaurant..? With their employees..?

Well – that is what we are going to talk about today…
