A Step Forward, In The Right Direction By: Brian J Whitlatch

The focus of this blog was to help educate young people about the hidden potential they, and everyone possesses.  I have discovered over the past few days with the immense amount of traffic and support that we have received that there is a great chance that this blog can change lives.  The idea of this alone absolutely thrills me. I possess no greater joy than knowing that I could help push an individual in the right direction.

I remember being a high school student, and sitting in school listening to the constant banter of the importance of further education. For some people, this is a phenomenal path to choose. If you think a little bit outside of the box like myself and many many others, this may not be the ideal path for you. I remember hearing my teachers endlessly speaking of the failures I would encounter if I did not follow this path. Yet, I always thought to myself, is this really the right path for me ? Is this what will bring me the future that I desire?

First, you must set goals for yourself:

• Where do you want to be in five years? 
• What steps are you going to take to get there?
• What are the absolutely necessary elements to of your plan that must be completed?
