SECRET TO SUCCESS…



Being a student, the secret to your success is never giving up! You have to build your dream by continuously working hard and learning from your mistakes. If you don’t work to achieve your dream, someone else will hire you to help them achieve theirs. As a student, it can be difficult to maintain our focus and not let negative thoughts overcome us and distract us. But the key here, is to tackle those thoughts head on and replace them with goals in a smaller timeframe that are easier to achieve. This will help to keep you motivated.

The secret to success is not one single thing, but is the combination of numerous factors; bold habits, persistence, dedication, learning from setbacks, hard work and little bit of luck to name a few. Changing just some of your behaviours and your attitude towards the task could prove to be incredibly rewarding!

Stop Temporizing: Avoiding the difficult, monotonous or boring parts of a task does not make them go away. Instead, find a way to add them into the parts of the work you genuinely enjoy, this will make it easier to complete them. Leaving all the unenjoyable tasks till the very end is actually counter-productive as it will likely push you towards giving up. It’s better to get them out of the way early on so that you can get stuck into the more enjoyable aspects of the work.

Negativity: The road to success will not be unending. There will be difficulties and moments where you question your commitment but these moments will help you define exactly what it is that you want. Success is not without hard work, so you will have to push yourself, put in the effort and remind yourself of your dream and why you are doing this. It may be a cliché, but it works; block the negativity with positivity and you will see the difference.

Don’t define yourself by others’ success: Do not be jealous or feel inferior to others as this will never let you focus on your goals. Instead, use that competitive drive to push yourself further rather than letting jealousy take over and building an unhealthy attitude which only affects you.

Focus on survival: Achieve your goals when starting a new job, business or a craft by simply surviving at first. Set realistic targets before casting the net wider as ticking off small milestones will feel rewarding and motivate you. If you aim too high at the start, there is a higher chance of failure.

Establishing the right habit: Adopt the right habits early on as this will help you achieve great results bringing you closer to your end target. Use something meaningful to you as a reward to further motivate you and constantly push you that little bit further.

Complete your project: Once you have started working on a specific project, make sure you see it through to the end. This will give you a sense of accomplishment whilst also increasing your skill set.

Network: Networking can easily feel fake, cold & canculating but in actual fact, is it one of most crucial aspects of success within any industry. Networking is just the process of building relationships that may one day help you as you never know where you may find your next business partner, investor or employee.

In a Nutshell: There are certain steps you must take to achieve success but the starting point is with a vision you can break down into achievable tasks. Write down your long-term & short-term goals, make them realistic & practical and follow them. You’ll be a success in your own right in no time!…..
