The Three Key Cornerstones to Success

Success can be defined as the constant pursuit of improvement through goal setting and persistent practice. Therefore, despite the complicated nature of achieving goals, following simple strategies can ensure you are on track towards a brighter future. Cultivating the ability to complete your goals guarantees that you will become a better person than the one you are today. As an economics professor of over two decades, I have concluded the following steps the top students in my class follow.

Firstly, have a deep reflection about your strengths, weaknesses and desires to form an achievable goal. After you have found an area which piques your interest, it is advised for you to utilize the plethora of online resources for additional researching, noting and reading. Through an enriched understanding of your topic, you empower yourself and are one step closer towards success! Knowledge and skills into the mechanisms behind your topic significantly boost your capabilities.

Secondly, start on your project and undertake the necessary steps. Since you now have more extensive knowledge and sufficient planning, you need to foster stronger willpower to follow through! If you hit a roadblock, take a deep breath to remind yourself of your motivation, and embrace the challenging tests. Try out different approaches if the first plan does not work. This will require constant reflection and brainstorming. It is also beneficial to have a support network to rely on for extra advice and motivation.

Finally, finishing up your goal will require constant revision. To achieve optimal results, it is important to set a high standard for yourself. Continue to make modifications to your end result, if it is a paper or project. You’ve already completed the arduous part of starting and completing the project. All you need to do now is to reflect on your accomplishments and retain the key strategies that helped you to achieve your goal.

Once your goal is completed, celebrate and congratulate yourself. You are now a more successful version of the person you used to be. The next part is more exciting: you can now set a new and more challenging goal!
