A short motivational monologue by Donald Burns urging listeners (especially restaurant owners) to choose to be proactive (a "hammer") rather than passive (a "nail"). He emphasizes writing down clear goals and reasons (clarity of want and why) so the methods (how) will reveal themselves, warns that over-focusing on how leads to overwhelm and giving up, and calls for immediate action to create the desired life and restaurant.

What do you really want? I mean, seriously, have you ever sat down and written out in detail what you want for your life and for your restaurant? Now, you might be surprised how many people just kind of go with the flow of life and never, ever take control of it. And there's two types of people in the world. There's hammers and there's nails. And you can decide which one you want to be. Clarity is powerful. And if you want to be a hammer, then write down exactly what you want and why you want it. Trust me, if your want is strong enough and your why is crystal clear, the how will become apparent. Too many people focus on how they will do it, and then they become overwhelmed. So what happens? They give up. They settle. They become nails in life. You have before you this incredible opportunity called this moment. You just need to do something with it, like right now. Take some action, get some clarity. Be the hammer, and get the life and the restaurant that you truly desire.
