What Do You Know About The BEST Restaurant in the WORLD?

Most likely less than you think- or you simply accept it and don't think about it at all... But you should.

Here's why.

If I asked you to tell me what you thought the BEST restaurant in the world was, you'd most likely name off some well known chefs, exotic locales, and differing ethnic choices....

...but if you think the BEST restaurant is the MOST SUCCESSFUL restaurant, there is one, clear choice-


MC DONALD'S. 



Yes, McDonald's Restaurant with the iconic "Golden Arches" that now span the globe took a small hamburger joint in California from 15 cent hamburgers to HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in annual revenues. is arguably the most successful in the world.

Do you know their story?

There's some great lessons to be learned there.

There's a new movie in theaters starring Michael Keaton called, "The Founder"- about the building of the McDonalds empire by Ray Croc.

It is mistakenly getting what I would consider to be rather mediocre reviews.

I believe the reasoning behind it is that, as in most of life, only a select type of person will understand it.

This movie is a character study of a salesman- One that was relatively successful, in the waning years of his career, and who had recently gone through a patch of difficult times. It is the study of a man with a drive to succeed – something that seems awfully absent for the majority of today's population.

 It's not that people don't want to succeed – it's that most people are perfectly happy working in a "job" that keeps them in one place, doing one thing, for a very, very long time (if they're lucky) and have a "steady" and "average" income which allows them to buy an "average" home and lead an "average" life.

(Note- when you look back to your aspirations as a child, do you ever recall wanting to be "Average?")

 There was a point in the movie where Ray Croc is talking with his wife. It's a rather difficult and strained discussion.

 If you're an entrepreneur or sales person, you've had this conversation. Maybe you've even had it several times.  It's a conversation about how hard you work, how much your spouse or significant other does alone, about how many years is it going to be before you slow down, stay home, go to the club, etc. …

 It is that same conversation that has signaled the beginning of the end of many marriages, and why many successful people are married multiple times.

I hope that you are lucky enough, as I am, to have a special significant other that "knows the drill" and has chosen to partner rather than prevent your success. The attitude of many is to "settle, " but what do you do when you just can't SETTLE?

You work HARDER, that's what...
