Donald Burns describes a client whose spouse gave an ultimatum after the restaurant business consumed their marriage. Burns warns that grinding too hard on your business can cost you your relationships, and offers coaching to help restore balance before it's too late.
I had a coaching client who came to me. When their spouse gave them the ultimatum, it's either me or the restaurant, they were completely blindsided. They thought they were working so hard for their family, sacrificing time and energy to give them a better life. But the reality their partner felt ignored, unseen, and second to the business. They hadn't had a real conversations in months. And date nights? Oh, come on. Forget about it. The restaurant got 100% of their attention, while their marriage got the scraps. The business wasn't just consuming their time. It was consuming their relationships. I'm the one person who can help you create the balance that you need to save both your restaurant and your relationships. Dm me the word go right now. Don't wait until the damage is irreversible. Let's fix it now before you lose what matters most.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
