I've managed over 400k customers a year. Here's a lesson that benefits all industries. There's a funny thing about the restaurant business: You can plan meticulously, but some days, nothing goes your way. The shipment arrives late, the new hire cancels last minute, or the kitchen equipment decides to take a nap. Meanwhile, you have customers lining up. Bad days just happen. But here's the catch: They don't define YOU. Not unless you let them destroy your Passion. Here's what I've learned from turning around restaurants: 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 → When things go wrong, stop and analyze. → Ask what went off and why. → This is your opportunity to learn and improve.

I had a $200 bottle of wine sitting on my wine rack for 10 years. 🍷 Whenever I thought about opening it, I decided the moment wasn't "special" enough. So, when I first launched Shattered Glass Coaching in 2020, I made a decision: whenever I booked my first paying coaching client, I would open up that wine and enjoy it. I didn't know who this client was or where she was going to come from, but I knew that I would celebrate with some damn good wine when I made my first sale. I told my Dad (who originally gifted me the wine 10 years earlier) that I was planning on drinking it soon. I polished my wine glasses and cleaned off my bar cart. I got myself in the mindset of preparing to celebrate with that wine. And then... it happened! I booked my very first client. I felt like a new restaurant hanging their first dollar up on the wall in a picture frame to be displayed for years to come. The wine was delicious. 😋 I savored the moment of celebration, knowing that I had just reached a huge milestone: I had actually booked my first paying customer. Pre-planning my celebration put me in the mindset of expecting myself to achieve my goal. Now, in my work with my coaching clients, when we FIRST set a goal, I encourage them to plan how they will celebrate when they achieve it. It creates a pre-planned celebration, incentive, and motivation for them to work towards that goal. Here are some of my favorites: → Amber booked a vacation to the Bahamas with her husband after negotiating a 20% salary increase. → Valerie took herself on a solo date to a fancy Italian restaurant after she was accepted into grad school. → Lisa bought tickets to see her favorite band in concert after she crushed an end-of-year presentation she had been nervous about. The next time you set a goal, plan how you will celebrate when you achieve it. How will you treat yourself? What will you do to celebrate? #achieveyourgoals #accomplishgoals #goalachiever #goalachievement #celebrateyourself

🍸 What job did you do in your early days that prepped you for being amazing at what you do today? 🥃 I spent 10 years in the restaurant industry as a bartender and server in fine dining and let me tell you...you learn a lot about people when you control the destiny of their food and booze 😎 I credit my experience in restaurants to my success as a People leader all the time. It taught me how to uncover a person's motivators, it taught me to be a mediator and problem solver, it taught me business principles and was the catalyst for me getting my business degree. There are way too many to list. Tell me your story! #growth #community #yourstory

Here’s a simple way to measure if you’re thriving as a restaurant owner: ✅ Rate your life on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest). ✅ Now, rate where you think your life will be in 5 years using the same scale. If your number is trending up, you’re thriving. But if it’s trending down or staying the same, it’s time to make some changes to your environment. Coaching can help you identify and implement the shifts needed to elevate your life and business.

To achieve success, it's essential to do whatever you do better than anyone else who does it. Regardless of the career path you choose, being the best at what you do guarantees success. One of the world's most renowned restaurateurs was asked the secret to his restaurant's success. He said, "The secret is in doing everything they do as well as they can do it." To be the best, it's crucial to analyze your direct competitors and the best service providers in other industries. Then, set a simple goal to do it better than they're doing it. Take notes and capture the best ideas, and put your unique spin on them. Ask everyone in your organization, "How can we do it more, better, faster, or differently?" Leave no stone unturned, nor any idea untried. The key to success is doing everything better. #success #kaizen #good #better #best #faster #unique
