Donald Burns delivers a forceful YouTube monologue arguing that restaurant owners who try to save failing businesses by reading books are short-sighted. He insists hiring an expert coach is a strategic investment that saves time and money, sharpens skills, and produces faster, profitable results; he cites Ecclesiastes 10:10 as an analogy and directs viewers to warriorrestaurants.com.
Only broke people think they can fix their restaurant just by reading a book. Yeah, because a 1999 paperback is going to transform your failing business, right? Come on, let's get real. You sadly think that saving a few bucks instead of investing in a coach because you think saving money is better than saving time. That's the kind of logic that keeps you spinning your wheels, stuck in the mud while everyone else races past you. Let's lay it down. Books are great. I love books. Knowledge is power. But reading about how to swim isn't going to keep you from drowning. When the ship sinks, you need someone who's going to throw you a lifeline, pull you out of the water and teach you how to navigate the stormy seas of the restaurant business. That's what a coach does. They're not just a cost, they're an investment. An investment in faster, smarter, more effective solutions than books simply can offer. Mean, thinking that you're going to save money by not hiring a coach is like thinking that you're going to get fit just by watching other people work out. I mean, it's batshit crazy. Time is money, alright? Time is money, my friend. And every minute you waste trying to DIY your way out of a disaster is a minute that you're not making money. While you're leafing through pages trying to figure out your next move, your competition is out there making moves guided by experts who have been there and done that. Ecclesiastes 10:10 says if the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed. But skill will bring success. You see, it's not about working hard. It's about working smart. A coach sharpens your axe. They hone your skills, refine your strategies and slash through all the bullshit that is holding you back. I mean, without that, you're just kind of like hacking away, aimlessly wasting your strings on ineffective efforts. So why are so many restaurant owners reluctant to hire a coach? Fear? Yes. Stubbornness? Probably. Pride? Yes. Whatever it is, I'm telling you, it's costing them far more than they realize. They sit there counting pennies while dollars are flying out the door. Lost revenue, missed opportunities, inefficient operations, all because they thought a book would be enough. Write this shit down. Real winners know when to ask for help. They know the value of expert advice and the cost of time wasted. It's not about throwing money at problems. It's about strategically investing in solutions that bring real, tangible, profitable results. Stop being penny wise and pound foolish.

Because I'm telling you, in this cutthroat industry, the only thing more expensive than hiring a professional is removing.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
