A short motivational talk by Donald Burns arguing that individuals must control their obsessions and channel them into obsessive learning. He lists practical habits—reading, podcasts, audiobooks, seminars, mentorship, and coaching—and emphasizes daily learning and applying one new thing to personal or professional life.
Here's the thing I want you to remember. You either control your obsessions or they start to control you. Now here's what you can do. You could read, listen to podcasts, watch YouTube videos, substitute audiobooks for music while you're driving, Go to seminars, find a mentor. Get a coach. Hint, hint. Becoming a better person does not require you to sit at the top of the mountain, shave your head, and meditate for hours on end. It just requires you to become obsessed with learning one new thing each day in every implementing it into your personal and or professional life. Remember, we build better restaurants by building ourselves.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
