The Six-Figure Server


Book Description

Smart, funny, and straight to the point, The Six-Figure Server is a primer on how to get out of the weeds, tap into a six-figure headspace, skyrocket your service skills, and make YOU the server everyone asks for by name. A $25K server treats their work like a gig; a $100K server treats it like a great job. After hustling for years at a packed turn-and-burn beachside restaurant in a popular tourist town, I took a good, hard look at my serving skills and faced the truth: I wasn’t great at my job. Worse, by always angling to be the first cut and skipping tables to extend my breaks, I had left thousands of dollars on the table every year. That realization led to a six-figure transformation to my serving career. And now I’m sharing the strategies, tools, and mindset you can use to embark on your own six-figure path—all while keeping your body, mind, and soul intact (and paying your taxes on time). Drawing from my decades in the business, I offer a fun, fresh, and occasionally unconventional collection of tricks, tips, and techniques for tapping into your six-figure potential and making way more money than you are now. I’ll show you how to: ● Work out exactly what you need to do to earn $100K this year. ● Work out exactly what you need to do to earn $100K this year. ● Make sure your guests walk away feeling impressed (and happy to leave a 30% tip). ● Become valuable as f*ck to your boss, your coworkers, and everyone else on the team. ● Get the shifts you want by taking the shifts you think you don’t want. ● Upsell your tables without feeling like you’re selling your soul. ● Take advantage of seasonal shifts, gamedays, and holidays—including giving up everyone’s favorite date night to earn an extra $900. If you’re ready to level up, become the MVP of your staff, and add a zero or two to your income, The Six-Figure Server will show you the way.

My Semi Charmed Life


Book Description

Do you ever find yourself looking up and asking the question, 'Why me?' You are not alone. We all struggle with turbulence now and then and Georgia Chirbas' My Semi-Charmed Life paints a colorful picture of a life that has seen rigid upbringing, death, abuse, spirituality and its fair share of tragedy. Through the loss of friends, family, lovers and pets, Georgia slowly realized that everything happens for a reason and that life is merely an opportunity for her to learn her soul's real purpose. Eventually, by changing her attitude, she was able to realize that she is a child of the most high God, and that he is always working for good. She learned to make the most of every day and instead of asking 'Why Me?' asks, 'Why not me?' In this autobiographical look at spirituality and life, Georgia asserts that grievances only make us stronger and that coming through hard times will build up the spirit. Though her journey is not yet over, Georgia sees the growth in her own experiences and invites readers to take a glimpse into her Semi-Charmed Life. Georgia Chirbas is the president and founder of her own corporate event planning company, as well as proud mother of two teenage boys and one canine daughter. She has a very small circle of family and friends whom she loves.
