Brian’s Answer
Years of blood, sweat, and tears.
Hi Brian. While I 100% believe you, I do think it would help Jose and other students who have this question if you would share a bit more specificity. How'd you get to where you are? What major milestones did you hit along the way? Biggest thing you wish someone told you about how to get where you are?

Understand the connection between people and food.
Not just the customer but your staff as well.
Manage expectations. That is your expectations, the staffs expectations, and the customers as well. This is allow room for growth.
Apply yourself! Across all spectrums. Being a chef isn’t only about the food. It’s a business. Identifying trends within the culinary world can become the different between success and failure. You have to make money. It’s that simple. How you make money is completely up to you and your staff. Be open to new ideas and suggestions.
Lastly, be fair. Fairness is a tough quality to remain a good grip on. Sometimes you’ll have to make decisions that will not be received well. But, see the big picture. Be as fair as possible. Even when you may not want to be.
