Insights Gained from Three Years in the Michelin Industry
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to My Journey
When you think of Michelin, the first image that often comes to mind is that of upscale restaurants serving exquisite cuisine. However, Michelin is also a prominent tire manufacturer globally. As of December 20th, I'll mark three years as a Quality Engineer with this esteemed company, and I want to share the pivotal lessons I've gained during this time.

Section 1.1: The Value of Hard Work
One of the primary insights I've had is the necessity of hard work and commitment to excel in any field. The market is constantly evolving, and if you don't strive to improve each year, you risk being overtaken by competitors.
Subsection 1.1.1: Setting Long-Term Goals
Another crucial lesson is the significance of having a long-term vision. While daily improvements are essential, crafting a 15- to 20-year plan provides direction and purpose.
Section 1.2: The Importance of Team Collaboration
In addition, I learned that individual talent means little without a strong team. To truly succeed, it's vital that everyone shares a collective ambition for success.
Chapter 2: Customer-Centric Approach
Moreover, if you're in the business of selling products, prioritizing the customer is paramount. Delivering quality is essential; a dissatisfied customer is unlikely to return, and you often won’t get a second chance to earn their loyalty.
The first video titled "Should You Work at a 1-Star or a 3-Star Michelin Restaurant?" explores the contrasting experiences one might face in restaurants with different star ratings. It shares insights on the expectations and challenges in both settings.
The second video, "What I Learned Working at a Michelin Star Restaurant in Tokyo," delves into personal experiences and lessons learned within the high-pressure environment of a Michelin-starred kitchen.
As I reflect on these lessons, I find that they apply not only to my professional endeavors but also to my investments and writing. I hope these insights can be beneficial to you as well. Thank you for taking the time to read my reflections.
