7 keys to Success...

If your willing to go after it, then success can be yours.  It is NOT handed out, you must 'take it by force'.  The following keys will help you succeed both in your online education and your future. 

Seven Life Changing Keys to Success:


1. Do and Dare

Get out of your comfort zone and try something altogether new.  Challenge yourself. Stretch the amount of work you do, stretch your expectations, and stretch your imagination.

2. Double Your Failure Rate



If you want to succeed, you need to fail.  It is these failures that allow you to build a foundation to succeed.  Think of it like this, before you can walk you will most likely have stumbled many times.  Eventually, you walk. It is these stumbles that allow for success. 

3.  Desire what you are after and go for it! 

To succeed, you must want to succeed more than anything else.  Establish your goal and stay motivated and focused on it no matter what.  Without desire, you won’t have the motivation to accomplish the goal.
4. You need Determination and Commitment


You have to have the determination of a bull dog.  You have to latch on, and refuse to let go.  Desire, determination and commitment will strategically position you to succeed.

5. Excellence is Required


Set your standards to very high, and ALWAYS give your best. 

6. Vision is Necessary


To succeed, you must ponder success.  Only through pondering success will you create the desire to make success a reality.  You must have a clear vision of what you are about to achieve.  This desire must consume you.  If the desire consumes you, it will one day be realized.

7. Go To Success

“Success doesn’t come to you, you go to it.”
–Marva Collins


Success won’t fall in your lap; you have to go after it.  You have to chase it down.  You have to want it more than anything else.  A lazy person won’t succeed, only those who are willing to work; those who are willing to “go to it.”
Are you willing to go to success?  Do you have a clear vision, do you have a burning desire, are you willing to fail, if you are, you are well on your way to success

Another great example of an engaging Science activity from Elliot Clarke. His focus was to visit nature and document biodiversity and the presence of humans in nature. He mentions the different flora and fauna in relation to distance from lakeshore, as well as the evidence of human presence via snowmobile tracks.
