#ktco year-end realization

Growth , Operations , Uncategorized

Recently I was preparing a year-end recap of our weekly show on The Pulse Network, Kitchen Table Talks, and in doing so I’m finding a very common thread. 

There are a few of the stories that began with some sort of crisis or a tough situation, but they made it out, they survived, and in each case they ultimately persevered. They took risks, they were afraid and uncertain of their future. Sounds a lot like you, doesn’t it? Sounds a lot like all of us.

The common thread I’m finding isn’t about the business concepts that got them where they are today, or even that they all seem to mention a solid business plan as part of their successful launch. Nope. What I’m noticing most is an overwhelming attitude of optimism and how much our guests over this last year just flat out enjoy their work.

So what do you think? 

Did you enjoy your last year of work? 

Did you find it serving your needs? 

Did you discover that you weren’t worried about work/life balance every week? 

Are you wondering if that’s even possible? 

Watch a years worth of KTT at once and you realize pretty much anything is possible. 

If you didn’t exactly hit the mark you were aiming for this year I’m here to tell you that you can NAIL it next year. And you know when next year starts don’t you?

Today.  

The Mayor is in the house!

I think I may have accidentally stumbled upon something great with this idea of the Mayor Menu.  Not only is it a pretty fun new way to provide incentive for competition for the mayorship of any given venue, but it also incorporates some fundamentals of community and ownership into the mix. Hmm, let’s see where this goes.

What do you think?

There’s a reason?

I’ve never been one of those people who believe that’s things happen for a reason, but lately it seems that it’s all around me.  What used to seem like a serendipitous meeting of one person or another turns out to have impact and meaning lately.  The part I’m struggling with is what’s changed in ME?  Why I am now so open to the concept altogether?  When I figure it out, I’ll let you know, promise.  🙂
