The Demand
Before tomorrow's shift, name one person outside your own building — another operator, a mentor, a peer group — you haven't talked to in the last month. Independence doesn't require isolation, and isolation is a choice, not a condition of ownership. Make one call.
The Work
Name one person outside your own building you haven't talked to in the last month:
Another operator:
A mentor:
A peer group or association:
Which of these best describes why you haven't built this network?
☐ I didn't know it was available
☐ I knew it existed and didn't build it
☐ I believed asking for help was a sign of weakness
The specific call you will make this week, and what you will ask for:
What changes in how you operate once you're no longer carrying this alone:
44 years. 200+ independent operators coached. 34 restaurants opened from scratch.
I work with restaurant operators who know something is wrong and are ready to find out what it actually is — and with leaders who are ready to build something that lasts.
The complete framework is in my new book: The Operator’s Playbook
