Be determined to succeed. Just as important as your natural ability is your level of determination. If possible, discuss the changes you want to make with someone who knows what will be required of you. And don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it to provide that extra push along the way. Set yourself up for success.
Relationships play a key role in our success.
They help define us and the goals we are trying to reach. Ask yourself if the people around you help you get closer to your goals or hold you back. Prepare to be uncomfortable. Success seldom comes easy. You can't get that master's degree from a university night school program without giving up your weekends or favorite television programs.
