I’ve recently recommitted to the idea of become the world’s best bartender overall. I want to be more than proficient in all skillsets. Lacking in no area, but maybe not the best in each individual category/skillset. Able to jump in to whatever void needs to be filled at the bars I work at.

So far I’ve realized that to really pursue this goal, I need to do more research and studying. I can’t settle for the cruising I’ve done so far. As I’ve noted in Bartending Reflection Winter 2023-2024 while I thought I was good, and maybe I was, I’m not where I could be.

I have a lot of studying to do.
