Short motivational monologue by Donald Burns addressing restaurant owners/managers who try to do everything themselves. Uses a plates-carrying metaphor to describe burnout and lack of trust in delegating; issues a direct call-to-action to DM the speaker with the word “go” for help breaking the cycle.
You're trying to carry a giant stack of plates, and someone offers to help you, but you say, I got it, only drop the whole thing. Well, that's how you're living your life and running your restaurant. You're trying to do it all alone, and it is breaking you. You're saying, I've got it, but what you really mean is I don't trust anyone else to help. And guess what? That mindset is exactly why you feel so alone. Now I'm the one person who can help you break out of the cycle. DM me the word go.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
