How to Run a Restaurant Business and Overcome the Fear to Persist

By David Scott Peters

·

Fear is an extremely powerful thing. It is the kryptonite to any entrepreneur, ultimately stopping you dead in your tracks. In the last two years, many restaurant owners have succumbed to fear because persisting through the unknown was too overwhelming.

In early March of 2022, during my Shoot the Sh*t with DSP, which is a weekly live session on Facebook for my private restaurant owner coaching and support Facebook group, I covered this topic of fear. It was wildly popular and really hit home for so many of those who attended so I brought it to my podcast.

In this episode of The Restaurant Prosperity Formula podcast, I talk about the seven sources of fear, the impact it can have on a business and how to get yourself out of a fear-based mindset. When it comes to persisting through fear to run a successful restaurant business, I also talk about the two common threads related to fear that I find when I talk to restaurant owners and how to use these things to your advantage.

I also wanted to share with you some things members of my premium coaching group have shared with me when we talk about events and circumstances that push them into fear mode and how it prevents them from persisting to run a restaurant business that is successful.

Tune into this episode of the podcast if you have ever let fear get in the way of your restaurant business.
