Donald Burns delivers a short motivational message arguing that personal mindset, beliefs and internal alignment are the primary barriers preventing restaurant owners from achieving success. He uses the analogy of outdated software ("Windows XP") to describe limiting beliefs formed earlier in life and emphasizes that resolving these internal struggles is a prerequisite to building the restaurant one truly desires.
Mindset. Beliefs and alignment are the primary thing holding restaurants back. You have a lot of outdated beliefs that were formed in your youth. You can't open the door to more possibilities until we basically solve internal struggles in yourself. Anybody remember Windows xp? It's like your brain is operating on Windows xp and you wonder how come things don't compute right? Or how come I can't get the right people on my team? How come it seems like every day it's a struggle for me? Before you can get the restaurant you truly desire, you must come to terms with the beliefs that you have that are holding you hostage to a better tomorrow.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
