What is your goal for 2011? Where do you want to be one year from today? As I sometimes tell my students, you don’t need a map if you don’t know where you want to go. Life doesn’t happen as you want it by chance. What would you like to accomplish over the next year?
Hopefully, one of your goals is to get the CPA Exam passed, done, and out of your life.
--Whether you went to a big school or a tiny one, that is a reasonable goal. It just takes work.
--Whether you made a 4.0 in college or just barely passed, that is still a reasonable goal. It just takes work.
--Whether you were the smartest student in your class or the one who just squeaked by, that is still a reasonable goal. It just takes work.
Success doesn’t come by accident.
How soon do you want to pass the CPA Exam? What is reasonable?
Which part do you want to pass next?
How much time is it going to take?
What study materials will you use (hopefully, http://www.CPAreviewforFREE.com)?
The country (and I suppose the world) seem to be in a rut right now. It needs more people like you to get up and start accomplishing something. The world doesn’t get stronger by having its best and brightest people sit around and whine about our problems. It gets stronger by doing. Figure out what you want to do over the next 365 days and get on with the journey. If you know where you want to go, you can make it happen.
