A short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns (uploaded April 8, 2025) urging small-business owners—especially in restaurant life—to prioritize family over business. The speaker warns that prioritizing profit can leave family neglected and may lead to irreversible loss of relationships; he poses a reflective question about how the speaker wants to be remembered (business builder vs. family person).

You are prioritizing profit over the people who need you most. You're giving your best to a business that will never, ever love you back. While your family gets the leftovers. One day, if you don't wait, you're going to look around and realize that they're gone. They're tired of waiting. So let's get real about the future. Do you want to be remembered as a person who built a business or as a person who was there for their family?
