Find someone who did what you want to do, and do what they did.
If you were driving, and someone told you a direct way to get to a destination, you wouldn’t intentionally meander on another winding path. So why should you do that for the path of your career?
Do your research and find people, whether on the internet, television, or elsewhere, who have managed to actualize your dream. Once you do that, the process is as simple as lather, rinse, repeat.

April 14, 2013Yup, getting a role model for yourself is undeniable inspiration to achieving your goals. If someone else can do it, so can you (but even better)! My role model is my father. I took over the family business and everyday I strive to do the best I can to live up to his standards. We share a great relationship and honestly I'm thankful i have someone to look up to.

April 30, 2013Great tip! This is exactly what I'm doing! It's always a great source of motivation when you know that someone else has been there- done that. It just makes you push yourself even harder to surpass the bar set by your mentor. :)
