Entrepreneurship is wild. Simultaneously feeling incredible excitement and optimism about the future AND crushing anxiety about how to get there. All while trying to fall back asleep at 3am.

Unruly customers being forced to work a few months in a restaurant is great. Where I can sign my company up to host the guilty?

I try different variations of goal setting every year. Looking for some options for this year. What's worked best for you?

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

We wonder why so many people are lonely and struggle with depression and anxiety yet we glorify individuality. Contrary to what society is telling us, it's good to do things for and with others even if we don't want to.

Tired of the rules of traditional reading groups, more people are joining rebel versions. "I will not read a book that other people say you have to read." https://t.co/PXWpZvd6vE

Just had a guest give me a not highly satisfied rating b/c she can't eat out as much now as she did in the Trump admin. But as she says, "God is good and He is providing."
Lord please provide me the patience to endure these people.

It's absolutely atrocious seeing what Hamas is doing. They must be stopped along with all of the other terrorist organizations.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Hamas upended the stability of the entire Middle East when its fighters surged into Israel from the Gaza Strip. But what exactly is Hamas, and what are its objectives? https://t.co/UoHiutxcj0 https://t.co/UoHiutxcj0

When someone says "you'll be hearing from my attorney", just respond that in that case you can no longer communicate with them and you'll send them your attorney to talk to from here on out. Amazing how quickly they start to back peddle.

When you read "Free while supplies last" and you go and they're out, what do you do? What if they offer you a coupon for something on your next visit?

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

A lot of diets will be starting soon. Those who are going gluten free or keto, my employees at Chicken Salad Chick get free meals while working. Come save some money while making money and getting fit. You win and I can stop losing sleep over staffing. #hiring

Just spent 2 hours outside in sub 20 degree weather with a hair dryer trying to get the tank-less water heater back running at one of my restaurants. I'd love to have a word with the architect about that.

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

@PaulSchissler @MdBarbs They teach you that during Shocktober.

@JohnPetersonFW @CaddieNetwork I don’t know man, have you seen how fast some of those pro runners go??

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

To that point I was frustrated with my lack of pace but realized I let the distance scare me into running slow to try and preserve. Makes me wonder where else I've been holding back from full potential.

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

Was reminded that most of our limitations are self imposed. Talking to a friend about my marathon training and he said that most people do their light runs too fast and their long runs too slow. I went out the next day and beat my best long run pace so far by 45 seconds/mile.

What do other #SMB owners do for performance reviews? So much of what's available is generic. Looking for clear and impactful format that can be used for specific measurables. Not vague "focuses on results" crap.

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

I wish I could pick my kids up once without them feeling the need to zip my jacket up to the very top.

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

Hide yo kids, hide yo wives and hide yo mail. Had someone smash a hole in a window at my office to steal a pile of mail. Junk mail. Glad I get to replace a window for that.

[John Schissler @johnmschissler]

To my friends and family- if you catch me slippin on @CrackerBarrel it’s time to call an intervention.
