Will Guidara made his name in the hospitality industry as the co-owner of Eleven Madison Park, transforming it from a "good" New York restaurant to a 3 Michelin star establishment that was ranked number one on "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" list in 2017.

In his new book, Unreasonable Hospitality: The Remarkable Power of Giving People More Than They Expect, Will shares his personal memoir and manifesto, outlining his business management philosophy on the art of service.

Together with Martin Reeves, Chairman of BCG Henderson Institute, Will discusses how to be intentional in the pursuit of relationships with both the people you work with and those you serve, and the impact of digging deeper to explore new creative approaches that turn ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences.

In this week’s Monday Morning Pep Talk, we dive into the transformative power of consistency and discipline—two foundational pillars for achieving long-term success.

As January's initial momentum starts to fade, it’s critical to stay committed to the promises you made to yourself. This episode is designed to help you build the systems, habits, and mindset needed to execute with intention, maintain focus, and trust the process.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this week’s Pep Talk:

1️⃣ Create a Clearly Defined Vision:
Document your vision, goals, and dreams. Daily review is a non-negotiable step in turning them into reality.

2️⃣ Commit Fully—Burn the Ships:
Remove distractions and focus entirely on your 3-year vision, annual goals, and quarterly priorities.

3️⃣ Build Systems, Processes, and Habits:
Align your habits with your vision to create bio-rhythms that make execution second nature.

4️⃣ Track Your Progress:
Use tracking methods to ensure consistency, measure results, and make adjustments as needed.

5️⃣ Exhibit Patience—Think Like a Farmer:
Transformation takes time. Trust the process and stay disciplined even when results aren’t immediate.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about discipline in the face of discomfort and consistency in your execution. By embracing these principles, you build a framework that supports your vision and creates sustainable success in your life and business.
