🎯 Struggling with a packed venue on weekends but empty tables during the week? It’s a common issue. Saturdays are buzzing, but Monday to Thursday? Crickets 🦗 Here’s the thing: the "build it and they will come" mentality only works for the weekend. The rest of the week, you need to fight hard for every seat filled. Relying on walk-ins or hope won’t cut it. So, how do you actually solve it? ✅ Create a direct marketing strategy that finds your ideal customers and speaks directly to them. ✅ Craft an irresistible mid-week offer that motivates people to book, not just scroll by. ✅ Drive urgency so people take action now, not “maybe next time.” Our Get Booked program does all this for you. With our 3-step Engage, Connect, Grow system, you’ll be filling tables at the click of a button. 💥 Interested in getting your restaurant booked out all week?

Big breakfast & small dinner vs. real life. 👇 Haven’t met a single exec with kids who succeeds with this setup. My guess? It's got something to do with willpower. It’s the highest in the morning and dissipates as the day progresses. So with that in mind, what’s easier: small breakfast or small dinner? - Small breakfast (enough to get going) with the right nutrients is easy. - Small dinner after an entire day of work? You tell me. Some things sound good in theory. But once you start testing them in real life, they fall apart. Like the big breakfast, small dinner combo. What this champ is experiencing here happens to most clients.

🎉 Hosting a Dinner Party: A Real-World Analogy for Callback Functions 🎉 Ever wondered what callback functions are and how they work? Let's break it down with a familiar scenario: hosting a dinner party! Imagine you're hosting a dinner party. You send out invitations to your friends, asking them to RSVP. Some of your friends respond immediately, while others take a bit longer to confirm their attendance. Here's how it works: 💌 Sending Out Invitations: Think of this as the main part of your program. You send out invitations to your friends, asking them to RSVP. 📝 Handling RSVPs: As your friends respond, you don't wait for all of them to reply before continuing with other tasks. Instead, you keep preparing for the party, such as setting the table, preparing food, and decorating. 🤝 Callback Functions: Each time a friend responds (callback), you handle their response accordingly. For example, noting dietary preferences or adjusting plans based on their attendance. ⏳ Non-Blocking Behavior: Your program continues executing other tasks while waiting for responses. This demonstrates the non-blocking nature of callbacks, allowing the program to perform other tasks concurrently. 🎊 Party Time!: When all responses are received (or a certain time limit is reached), you proceed with the next steps, such as finalizing the menu and preparing the venue. Just like hosting a dinner party, callback functions allow programs to handle tasks asynchronously, improving efficiency and responsiveness. #KeepLearning #CallBackFunction

The Great Piece Debate: What’s in Your Lunchbox? Alright, let’s settle this once and for all: What’s everyone taking to work for lunch these days? Is it the good ol’ trusty sandwich (aka “piece”)? Leftovers from last night’s dinner masterpiece? Or are you the “I’ll just grab something on the way” type? And the real question—does your other half make it for you, or are you flying solo in the kitchen every morning? Are they packing you a gourmet meal like you’re off to a 5-star office picnic, or is it more of a “here’s a sandwich and a hope for the best”? Let’s hear it—what’s your workday fuel, and who’s in charge of packing it? And does your other half does make your lunch?

🌅 Breakfast: The Most Important Meal of the Day (or is it?) 🥣🍞🍓 Every morning in our house, it feels like a breakfast buffet: cereal, toast, fresh fruit, and juice—ready to fuel the day ahead for my little ones. It’s a routine we take for granted but one I know not everyone has time for. As I watch my kids dig, I wonder: What about you? Do you start your day with a hearty meal, or are you one of those “grab a coffee and go” types? Maybe you’re squeezing in breakfast between meetings or skipping it altogether. 💬 Let’s hear it: • Are you team full breakfast spread? • Or team breakfast is optional? I’d love to know how my connections start their mornings! And hey, if you’re skipping breakfast, maybe it’s time to treat yourself like you would a growing kid—because we all need that fuel to take on the day. 🌟 (P.S. If you are having breakfast, share your go-to in the comments. I’m always up for ideas!) 🚀
