“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” – Thomas A. Edison

When you were a kid, did you love jumping into mud puddles? I mean the dirtier the better, right?! You just jumped right in and got messy.

Well, I hate to break this to you, but it’s time to do the same with your restaurant business. You can’t be afraid to roll your sleeves up and get dirty!

In other words, if something is worth having and growing, you have to be willing to put in the work.

There is no substitution for hard work and there is no shortcut for success. Don’t we all wish there was – just wave a magic wand or give a little twitch of the nose and poof. But life (especially business) just doesn’t work that way.

That being said, while you are putting in the hard work, you also have to be on the lookout for the opportunities. Because if you are truly doing the work, the opportunities will find you. And that’s where the sweet spot lives.

Thank you for this week’s motivation, Mr. Edison!
