Your Future as a Hotel Head Chef, General Manager, Restaurant Supervisor, Head Housekeeper?

What do you want to be doing in 10 years’ time? Head Chef, General Manager, Restaurant Supervisor, Head Housekeeper? Taking the first step towards this dream is perhaps the most difficult thing to do when we are already so busy in a Hotel. There are always a lot of obstacles that make it difficult to take that first important step. So ….

Don’t wait until the situation is perfect. You should not wait until the situation is perfect in your Hotel because the situation will never be perfect. No matter how or when you see it, there will always be something that makes you want to think again.

Don’t wait until all the other people agree with you. Just like you shouldn’t wait for the situation to be perfect, you shouldn’t wait until everybody in the Hotel and your life agrees with your idea. There will always be opposition, and that is perfectly normal. If you wait until there is a consensus, you will never start.

Don’t wait until all of your skills are ready. We might think that we need to have better skills before we start doing something. But the truth is, you will learn much more by doing than by waiting. Doing allows you to improve your Hotel Career skills much faster than just learning the theory.

As you can see, the three points above have “don’t wait” in them. So here is the bottom line: the best time to start is now.

Believe in yourself … believing in your Hotel Career dream is essential to get the motivation you need to achieve it. Is the Hotel Career dream worth pursuing? Is it something that you want to put all your effort into?

Visualise your Career dream. Visualising your dream will energise you because you can then see how the world changes for the better and how people live a happier life because of your Hotel Career dream. The energy and excitement is there for you to feel.

Expect a hard way ahead. While it’s not impossible, achieving your dream is definitely not easy. Don’t expect an easy way; expect a hard one instead. Having the right expectations from the beginning will make the Career journey much easier for you. 

Take one small step at a time. Your Hotel Career dream may be big and that might make it seem overwhelming.

But, like the saying says, “When eating a Head Chef take one bite at a time.” So take a small portion that you can handle.

Think about something that you can do within one week, and then think about what you can do today.

There is no doubt that you can eat the Head Chef. But the key is to take the bites early and often.
