Hey, restaurant owners, operators, managers, employees,
do you ever just feel stuck, just stuck,
stuck in your ability to grow, stuck in your income,
stuck in your desires for more, you just feel stuck?
Well, this week's video is made just for you.
Hey, everybody. Ryan Gromfin here – author, speaker, chef, restaurateur,
and founder of TheRestaurantBoss.com, as well as ClickBacon.com,
and ScaleMyRestaurant.com.
If you ever feel stuck, sometimes I do.
I refer back to a great quote by a gentleman named Brendan
Burchard.
Now if you've never heard of Brendan Burchard, you should.
He's a phenomenal author and a speaker and he's written some great books,
Just really good personal development type stuff.
And if you've been watching my videos, you know I love personal development,
I love professional development. Guys like Brendan Burchard,
John Maxwell, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy,
the list just goes on and on and if I’m leaving anyone out,
I apologize because I have so many amazing authors and speakers that
I watch and I listen,I've attended seminars and have taught me so much,
but this quote from Brendon Burchard is great. I want to read this to you.
“There are two things that change your life:
either something new comes into your life,
or something new comes out of you.”
There are two things that change your life: either something new comes into your life,
or something new comes out of you.
I remember the first time I heard that and I kind of pondered on it for a little bit
and then I had to hear it again and I had to hear it again and then I had to read and I had to study on, and really
throughout my career that quote keeps coming up over and over and over again.
Either something new comes into your life or something new comes out of you.
So if you want something to change, if you're not happy with
anything in your life, I don't care what it is:
personal, business, financial, relationships,
love interests, whatever it is, if you're not happy with something in your life,
there's only two things that are going to change that.
Either something new is going to come into your life,
maybe if you're single and you've been wanting to be in a serious relationship,
you might meet someone today.
You might walk out of your front door and bump into someone on the sidewalk
or at Starbucks or at work,
some new hire who you end up getting
going on dates and getting married and having kids and living this beautiful life,
or something new comes out of you.
Now the problem with the first is, we love to live in this world of hope,
we love to think that something new is going to come into our life
and it does every day,
but some of us are living in too much of a world of hope.
Some of us are hoping that that perfect somebody walks
into our life. Some of us are hoping that the restaurant fills up with guests today.
Some of us are hoping that we win the lottery.
Some of us are just hoping that things get better
and we don't even know what it is. We're just hoping that things get better,right?
So the question I always have is how much confidence do you have that
the change you need is going to come into your life?
If you're not 120% confident
that whatever it is that you need is going to come into your life,
then you better get to work on something new coming out of you,
but even if you are 100%, 95%, 110% confident,
120, 150, whatever percent confident that something is going to come into your life.
Let's say you've been at a job and you're waiting for the promotion,
you know the promotion is coming you know, you're next in line for it,
well don't just sit there and hope.
Do everything you can in your power,
have something new come out of you to all but guarantee
that is going to happen.
I tell a lot of my friends who are younger and single and
frustrated in the dating world,
what are you doing to put yourself out there?
Are you talking to people that you bump into at Starbucks?
Your future wife might be one line,
one person ahead of you, but are you talking to them?
Are you having a conversation with them? If not,
what's going to happen there, right? Are you going out on dates?
Are you getting set up? Are you opening yourself up to relationships?
Because the only way something new is going to come into your life is if you're open to bring it in.
So the same thing could be happening with you at work.
If you're not happy at your work and you want a new job,
what skills are you learning? Are you studying everything there is to learn about that new job?
Are you going out and developing the new skills?
Are you going on interviews
just for the reason of going on interviews to get better at interviews?
Are you submitting cover letters and resumes just so you can get
better at that process at sending the emails and getting the phone calls?
So, when the right opportunity comes into your life, you're ready for it.If not,
well you can rely on hope. And hope is a strategy,
it's just not a very good one.
So there, I hope one day somebody is doing a video about me
because that's my favorite quote. Hope is a strategy, just not a very good one.
Like I am for you. Brendan… Brendan Burchard, will you do a video about hope for me?
Hope is a strategy, just not a very good one.
I’m going to send that to you anyways. I’m just joking, but seriously
if you're waiting for something new to come in,
why not take control of your life?
Why not have something new come out of you?
The moment we accept
that everything in our life is up to us.
Be it the good things that happened to us,
the bad things that happened to us.
If your restaurant is slow today, it's not because your cooks aren't consistent enough
with the food,
it's not because your cooks aren't making good enough food, it's because you didn't hire the right cooks,
you didn't train them well enough,
you didn't create the systems for them to follow to create the consistency
and the delicious flavorful food that you desire. That's all.
The minute we stop blaming others and the minute we start accepting
that everything we have in our life is because of us,
you may have been born into a terrible childhood but right now,
you have the capacity to watch this video,
that means you have the capacity to change your life.
If you are watching this video, whether it's on a cell phone or on a computer
or anywhere, you have everything you need right now to change your life.
Don't blame others, don't play the victim here.
I may be wrong, you may not agree with me,
you may want to write some terrible things below, do it.
Please, I encourage it. I want that conversation,
but chances are, you're sitting there going, you know what Ryan? You're right.
If you have the capacity to watch this video, you have the capacity to change anything you want
in your life.
All the information you want, all the training, all the concepts,
all the theories, all the knowledge in the world is available to you.
If this video is available to you, it's all available to you,it's just a matter of how bad you want it.
What new is going to come out of you? What is going to change?
If you're stuck, if your restaurant isn't as busy as you want,
if your job is not paying you as much as you want,
if you hate your boss, if you hate your employees, if anything in your life
is not where you want it to be,
either something new is going to come into your life and change that or something new is
going to come out of you. I love the fact that something new could
come into my life,
but I love even more the fact that I’m in control of what comes out of me
and every day I wake up and I make sure that what comes out of me is the best
and I make sure that what comes out of me gets better every day
and the more that comes out of me, the better I get.
The more I focus on what I can control, the more good things that come into my life
and I want the same for you.
If you like this, go check out some of Brendon Burchard's books.

you another one just like it next week.
Have an absolutely wonderful day.
