If you haven’t watched the first Dave Query video from the Restaurant Owners Uncorked video series, it’s below. You gotta watch it. If you have watched it, watch again. All of Dave Query’s videos in this series are GREAT, but this one in particular strikes me because it contains such incredible business wisdom for any owner of any business in any industry. Quotes like this are just incredibly wise and powerful…

“One of the things I’ve learned that’s helped me be successful, is shutting my mouth. You just gotta shut up and listen. If you’ve got really smart people that you’re working with, you hired them for a reason. They’re on your team with intention. You gotta learn to just listen.”

“Ego is a killer. Humility wins in the long term every time.”

“One common qualities we share with other successful restaurants is that we’ve not forgotten that the customer is king. Those companies that are paying attention to their customers, listening, and responding … are the ones that are going to be successful.”

Anyway, the list goes on. Dave is a very successful man for good reason. Pay attention. This stuff is priceless…
