GIFT FROM HEAVEN?

THE RESTAURANT
One of my clients runs a successful Italian restaurant that was started by his grandfather.
Many others in the same town have come and gone but his restaurant remains as popular
as ever. I asked him why his succeeded when others had failed.
He told me with a smile, ‘Well I like to think it is because the food is so good, but
it is more than that. Over time we noticed that people want different foods, different
music, even different table layouts. We keep our eyes open for new trends.’
I asked him how he anticipates trends and he told me that they are often led by
big companies or even by TV shows and movies. ‘The trick is to try something and see how
people respond. We now do cocktails because people want them. Spaghetti Bolognese has
never gone off the menu but we use more sauce now than in my granddad’s day.’ Then he
added with a twinkle, ‘These days we come to see you and you show us the future.’

A great exercise when you have a number of options to choose from .
EXERCISE
Find somewhere comfy to relax, turn off your phone and focus on your breathing.
Just imagine it is a sunny day and you are walking through a field of long grass. Get a sense of peace as you walk through the field and breathe in the sweet fresh air.
As you walk through the field you happen upon three wooden gates. Each gate has a blank sign on it. Imagine writing a word to represent an option on each gate.
By the way, you can have as many gates as you wish but I usually find most choices come down to three main contenders.
Focus on the first gate, open the gate and walk through and get a sense of what it feels like if you choose this option. Now do the same with the others.
Does one of them feel stronger than the others? Does one option make you feel nervous or unsettled? Take time to focus on all three.
I have used this technique with clients to decide anything from which job to take, which car to buy, to which person to date.
