After more than 40 years of evaluating thousands of hotels throughout the world, I have learned there are three basic skills every hotelier needs to possess.

The First Skill- is knowing how to perform a Hotel Market Analysis- How does your hotel compete with other properties in the market and how to measure the impact of new hotels entering the area?  It is also used for doing hotel feasibility studies.

The Second Skill is the ability to accurately Forecast Revenue and Expense- How to evaluate your hotel’s financial performance and budgeting for the future.

And lastly, you need to know how to measure the value of your hotel.  Every operational decision ultimately affects your property’s value.  My course details the procedures for valuing a hotel along with strategies to enhance its value.

My talk, entitled, "How to Succeed in Life Without Wasting Your Time," describes how I was able to create a global hospitality consulting organization by focusing my efforts towards a set of written goals.

As a mediocre student at the Cornell Hotel School who found himself on strict academic probation discovered the benefits of creating a "Life Plan" which eventually became HVS. 

A C-minus English student who overcame learning challenges to author six textbooks and more than 300 articles.

A shy and quiet youngster who now lectures extensively at the world's leading hotel schools and professional organizations.

This all shows how developing a set of goals to overcome your personal shortcomings can lead to success "without wasting your time".  

Join Steve Rushmore, Founder of HVS, as he presents a short "Ted Talk" at the EHL Hospitality Business School in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Steve will discuss three important factors that led to the success of his firm- HVS.  They are:

• Benefits of Goal Setting
• Promotion of Women
• Partnering with EHL
