5 Tips To Keep You On The Path of Your Dreams!
- ©GC Diaries

Yesterday, I had the privilege of being invited to speak and encourage a Masters in Finance class at a local university.

They have just started their 2nd semester of 1st year and more than half of the class have already fallen by the wayside.

My message to them was simple and is relevant to anyone in pursuit of a dream.

1. REMEMBER WHY YOU STARTED
- you did not get here by accident.
- you had a dream and you thought this through
- those dreams are still valid & worthy
- you have shed some sweat and tears already
- they ought to count for something, make them count
- someone who wanted a seat in this class didn't get it because of you; their dream denied or deferred....only for you to waste that opportunity.

2. LET THE SLIGHT EDGE WORK FOR YOU
- its the small things that matter.
- Success is not achieved in one day, but it is achieved daily.
- It is the small things you do or not do everyday that determine where you end up.

3. HELP EACH OTHER
- it reinforces what you know or exposes what you didn't know you didn't know
- in learning you will teach and in teaching, you will learn
- it is kind, makes you feel good and boost your confidence

4. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
- you started on this path because you knew you could do it, you still can.
- to achieve, you must believe.
- if not you, then who?
- if not now, then when?

5. SUCCESS HAS A RULE OF THUMB!
- you start and you finish, period.
- its that simple!!
- succesful people leave the starting line and cross the finishing line.
- it is the only way to win and its non-negotiable.

NOW THAT YOU ARE INSPIRED, REMEMBER THAT INSPIRATION IS NECESSARY, BUT IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR EFFORT.
