#142: How to Get Control of Your Restaurant Using Your Inner Game - Part 2
January 21, 2026 by David Scott Peters
If you’ve ever had a powerful “aha” moment about why your restaurant feels out of control — only to find yourself right back in the chaos a week later — this episode is for you. In Part 2 of a two-part series focused on your inner game, I move beyond awareness and into execution, breaking down why insight alone doesn’t change anything unless it’s paired with structure and follow-through.
In this episode of “The Restaurant Prosperity Formula,” restaurant owners can expect to learn why motivation and willpower aren’t enough, how habits and systems turn clarity into results, and what it really takes to create consistency, calm and control in a restaurant.
This conversation is about closing the gap between knowing better and actually running a better business.
