A short motivational video by Donald Burns urging business owners (particularly those in service businesses) not to let work consume family life. Burns shares an anecdote of a restaurant owner whose child stopped asking them to attend events because the parent was always working, uses this to highlight the cost of misplaced priorities, and closes with a direct call-to-action to DM him the word “go” to get help reclaiming family time.

Chapters

I worked with a restaurant owner who told me their son stopped asking if they'd come to his soccer game. I mean, the answer was always the same. I can't, because I have to be at the restaurant. They were so consumed by running their business that they missed everything. School plays, family dinners, bedtime stories. And here's the thing. They kept lying to themselves. Kept telling themselves, you know, I'm doing this for them. But here's the harsh truth. Their son didn't care about the restaurant. He just wanted his parent to show up. I'm the one person who can help you break this cycle and reclaim your life and your family before it's too late. DM me the word go right now. Let's fix this so your kids don't just remember you as the parent who is always too busy and always at the restaurant.
