Brief motivational YouTube monologue by Donald Burns arguing that prioritizing business over family is a choice with emotional costs. Burns warns that being "married to the business" can leave you "alone at the top" and urges a redefinition of success to include the life you build with loved ones rather than just the bottom line.
Time to get your priorities straight. Being married to the business is a choice. And if you keep making that choice, please do not be surprised when the people you love are no longer there. I mean, success isn't about just the bottom line. It's about the life you build with the people who you love. And if you're not careful, you're going to end up alone at the top, wondering, why does it feel so damn empty and lonely up here? This isn't about choosing between success and family. It's about redefining what success actually.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
