#141: How to Get Control of Your Restaurant Using Your Inner Game - Part 1

January 7, 2026 by David Scott Peters

Most restaurant owners spend their days obsessing over food cost, labor and sales — but what if the real driver of chaos isn’t on your P&L at all? In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula” podcast, I pull back the curtain on the inner game that shapes every decision you make as a leader.

From automatic thoughts and emotional reactions to old stories and personal triggers, this conversation is about the invisible forces that either keep you stuck or set you free.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder than ever but not getting ahead, this episode will help you understand why — and what awareness you need before real change can happen.
