A short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns targeting restaurant and hospitality owners about stress and burnout. Burns asks direct, rhetorical questions about happiness with life and business, highlights overwork and emotional cost, and issues a blunt call to action to stop settling and make changes if one is not happy.
Are you happy with your life? Are you happy with your business? Are you happy with who you've become? Because if we're being honest, most of you aren't. You're stressed, you're overworked, and you're burned. The you've given everything to your restaurant, and what has it given you back? So I'm asking you, are you happy? If the answer is anything less than a yes, it's time to make a change. It's time to stop settling. It's time start living.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
