Dear Robert,

I have been asked this question many times by various people and my answer always remain the same. The best way to succeed is to have the desire to succeed which all begins with YOU.

You are the only person who can make yourself succeed. You have to be willing to succeed and that starts with Ambition

So my question to you is this, do you have an ambition for success? If you do then you are well on track.

To have an ambition for success is to be willing to work hard at all times. Do not be like the rest of the crowd who blame people for their failures. They blame the society, their family and their background. They blame everyone except themselves. The truth of the matter is this, it does not matter if the problems in your life were caused by someone else. You have to rise regardless. You remain the only person who can fix your problem. Connections, favor, grace etc will only help after you pass this first stage which is taking responsibility. If you want things to be better in your life, You have to make it better. YOU are the most important in this process.

After you recognize how important you are in this process, the next step would be to stop procrastinating. Procrastination is a killer of dreams. It doesn't matter how fantastic your ideas or dreams might be, once procrastination is involved, it will always remain an idea or a dream. Tackle problems and opportunities that come your way early on. This allows you to be excellent at what you do.

Also develop the necessary skills in the area you are trying to succeed at. You have to be exceptional to be successful and that requires knowledge and wisdom. Do your research and spend quality time finding out more and doing more. This is one sure way to succeed at anything you have an ambition for.

Last but not least, develop connections. No man is an island. We need people and people need you. You just have to recognize when and where. If you don't find yourself before you find people, you won't have use for your connections and it would all be a waste of time.

I wish you all the success in store for you Robert

Have a great weekend

Regards

Adey
