This excerpt is from a YouTube interview (Dec 13, 2022) in which Diya Liu advises people starting in hospitality. She warns that hospitality often requires longer hours and greater commitment than newcomers expect, and emphasizes that sustained success requires genuinely loving the work rather than doing it solely for money. She notes unpredictable problems (e.g., contractors failing) that make some days very long and stressful.

And specifically with hospitality, is that it's probably going to be a lot longer hours and more commitment than you initially thought it was going to be. But the people who are truly successful in hospitality are the people who love it. Make sure that you love it, because there are going to be days where contractors fall through roof and it's just going to be a lot of stuff that you can't anticipate, and those are going to be really long days if you're only in it for the money.
