Well this will go for anyone who just completed business school. The keys to success is once you have completed those long years of study the time has arrived to get to know who you are and where you are at this time in your life. The other is to create a strong network of mentors and yes I will repeat this create a network of MENTORS this will become one of the most important pieces of the puzzle to success. Sometimes while you are in school you can ask a professor to become a mentor while you are attending school.
Conceive, Believe, Achieve.
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
I believe this one to be one of the most if not the most important piece of the puzzle to success. This is the piece that I like to call the puzzle to the mind that will need to be unlocked by you on your own. This will become so important because you will have to put strong thoughts into your mind to create your own belief system of who you want to become.
The next key is that once in a while and perhaps many times after you graduate you will have to take risks.
There will be times when you will be tested. There will be times when your will will be tested! your courage will be tested and your mind will be tested. This will be the time to become strong and believe that you can make it. This will be the time when your network of mentors will be needed so you can pursue those dreams you are hanging on to.
The next key is to believe and have confidence in your skills and your talents. What you have learned in college should be strong to keep you believing why you attended school and why you spent those long days and long and sleepless nights trying to make the grade.
I would like you to remember the next few lines that I live by and who I learned from one of my favorite mentors Napoleon Hill who has always been an inspiration to me just from the books and videos that I have read and viewed.
The best job goes to the one who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with alibis.
We often discover that people we view as “overnight successes” have in fact labored for years in obscurity before they were finally recognized and rewarded for their contributions. Success is a cumulative effort; the journey to the top in any field is usually long and requires careful planning. If you want to climb the first rung on the ladder of success, you must always take the initiative to get the job done, even when you find it less than challenging or even unpleasant.

Eventually, you’ll
earn your reward. You will become the boss, the leader, because you have
developed the habit of taking the initiative to get the job done. You
will get the best jobs because you’ve proven that you are dependable by
accepting responsibility for your actions and your future.
Remember that books and schools only teach the theories and give us the tolls to succeed. it is up to you as the individual to implement the tools and succeed. Yes that is correct it is only up to you to choose to succeed!!!
Books are movies that can be played over and over in the mind to strengthen the brain and feed it positive thoughts of success if you so choose to learn.
Here are some things to think about when searching for your first job; Here are some competencies:
What skills and competencies will you need to be successful after graduation?
Turns
out, employers are looking for more than just a degree; they're looking
for individuals who will be successful in today's world.
Michigan
State University worked with a number of employers to identify 12
essential competencies for success. These 12 essentials are best
developed both inside and outside the classroom.
1 Working in a Diverse Environment
Learning
from people who are different from you-and recognizing your
commonalities-is an important part of your education and essential
preparation for the world you will join.
2 Managing Time and Priorities
Managing
how you spend your time, and on what, is essential in today's world.
Learn how to sort priorities so you stay in control of your life.
3 Acquiring Knowledge
Learning how to learn is just as important as the knowledge itself. No matter what your future holds, you'll continue to learn every day.
4 Thinking Critically
Developing
solid critical thinking skills means you'll be confident to handle
autonomy, make sound decisions, and find the connection
between opportunities you have to learn and how those opportunities will affect your future.
5 Communicating Effectively
Developing listening, interpreting, and speaking skills is just as important as reading and writing.
6 Solving Problems
You
may only have thought about problem solving when you're faced with a
crisis. Understand the process and mind-set of successful
problem-solving and you'll more easily handle the bigger challenges that come your way.
7 Contributing to a Team
In
the workplace each person's contribution is essential to success.
Having the ability to work collaboratively with others is vital. This
includes identifying individual strengths (yours and others) and
harnessing them for the group, building consensus, knowing when to lead
and when to follow, and appreciating group dynamics.
8 Navigating Across Boundaries
Life
is filled with boundaries-good and bad. Discover how to avoid the
boundaries that become barriers so you don't hamper the ability
to collaborate with other people.
9 Performing with Integrity
It
only takes one bad instance to destroy years of good faith and good
relationships. It's important to develop a code of ethics and
principles to guide your life.
10 Developing Professional Competencies
The
end of college is the beginning of a new education. Build on what you
already know and keep learning new skills-your job will challenge
you to grow and develop in ways you haven't imagined yet.
11 Balancing Work and Life
You've
got a lot to accomplish in limited time. How do you get it all done and
still stay sane? The key is maintaining balance among the
different parts of your life.
12 Embracing Change
Just
about every aspect of life is in a constant state of change. Sometimes
it may seem that no sooner do you get caught up than you have to start
all over again. No matter how you feel about change, you have to learn
to deal with it.
