The Demand
Before you bring in outside help for anything tomorrow, run the One Period Test: have you genuinely tried to fix this alone for one full period first? If you have and it's still broken, get the help — real help should leave you not needing it again, not keep you dependent. If you haven't tried, do that first.
The Work
Name the outside help — consultant, coach, vendor — currently engaged with your operation:
Run the One Period Test: have you genuinely tried to fix this alone for one full period first?
☐ Yes, tried alone for a full period and it's still broken — get real help
☐ No, haven't tried yet — do that first
Is this engagement designed to make itself unnecessary, or does it keep you dependent?
What "not needing them again" would actually look like six months from now:
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
