SEASONS ARE CYCLICAL
Seasons are cyclical, but that doesn’t mean your life has to be.
Cheers to making it through one of the busiest, craziest, summers on record! Whether you lived in a seasonal town and held your ground (and sanity) against the tourists, or you work in a place where summer is a season of saving your money till the customers come back- YOU DID IT!
Now that September is here, the seasons and the vibes are changing. But besides the pumpkin and apple cinnamon spiced everything, what changes are you making in your life?
I’m not talking about you taking a break, decompressing, turning your brain off for a while, celebrating your success, maybe booking yourself a trip, letting yourself get excited for the fall, marking out days on your calendar to look forward to… but once that’s done, then what?
Whether you’ve worked in the industry for 3 months or 11 years, by now I’m sure you’ve realized that once you figure out the lay of the land for the restaurant you work in, the rules of engagement with customers and how to deal with them, how to operate your POS system, and how to multi task effectively without looking too weeded- many of you could probably go through your day on auto pilot. Especially when things begin to slow down.
Don’t get me wrong-THAT’S NOT A BAD THING!Especially when you’re raking in money hand over fist, there is very little asked of you once you clock out, you can have a flexible work schedule, and you get to meet a lot of really greatpeople.
But sometimes that monotony, the money, and the simplicity can cause you to get a little… dare I say….complacent?
We can get so caught up somewhere between “the grind” and the fun atmosphere, that next thing you know, you pick your head up to look at the clock mid shift and realize that your “last year” serving was 8 years ago, you haven’t saved any money, your knees and low back are shot, and there’s rumors that thereare QR codes being installed at your tables to cut back on the need for employees. You’re hit with this terrible feeling in your stomach that your best years are behind you, you’ve spent half of your total income dining out and hooking up other industry kin with 80-100% tips, you don’t have experience in any other job or industry (let alone a resume) and the thought of going back to school to study SOMETHING starts to creep in but then you panic because you don’t even know what that SOMETHING would be!
No? Just me?
Anyway, before you click out of this blog and freak out, or read this at the ripe age of 20 or 24 and swear “that won’t be me”, HEAR ME OUT!
1. I want you to know that those voices in your head telling you “your best days are behind you”, “you’re not qualified to do anything else”, “you’re too old to still be bartending or serving”, “you could never own your own business”, “you have to go back to school if you want to learn anything” - is just your brains natural negative programming designed to shame you into playing life SAFE! It’s all bullshit.
2. You are exactly where you are supposed to be! ESPECIALLY if that’s in the restaurant industry. We spend a large part of our coaching programs reminding you why the industry is the perfect place for you to pivot and begin creating the life of your dreams!
3. If you want to see or make changes in your life, you need to take MASSIVE ACTION doing things outside your comfort zone!
What better place to do that, than in a group with coaches who have almost 20 years of combined industry experience coupled with 15 years of experience in the Health and Wellness field. Not to mention you’ll be learning this information with other like-minded industry brothers and sisters in arms, providing you with a safe space to open up, to share, and to grow together.
What kind of information will we be learning?
Lo and I will be walking you through a 6 week course where we will only meet once a week for 1 hour (either in person or via zoom) starting September 13th at 11am.
Each week we start off the session with an interactivegroup discussion before breaking into a new topic based on my TIPS© program, which incase you’re wondering, stands for Take chances, Invest in your future, Prioritize your health, and Self educate!
These 4 categories (Besides the obvious) are meant to help you challenge, uncover, and conquer the self limiting beliefs and doubts that keep you stuck or anxious, while showing you how to manifest and access the opportunities that surround you every single day!
We will also teach some life hacks that will help optimize your physical/mental health and energy while working in the industry, along with providing you with some tools and tips to take your financial health to a whole new level.
Most importantly, we are here to remind you that you arenot lost, you are not alone, and you are where you are for a reason. We all have a purpose here on earth, and we believe that if you’re still reading by this point you believe that too. Maybe you have an idea of what that skill, gift, calling is, or maybe you don’t. Either way, it’s our calling to support you and guide you deeper into the unknown as you level up your life behind, and beyond the bar.
So if you’re on the fence, don’t wait, ACT! Use that momentum go to https://btbunited.net/store/p/group-coaching-registration and sign up now while its 50% off. Let’s make this the year that your future self thanks you for believing you had the power to make a change all along!
