Secrets of a Super Achiever

Career

Can I be honest with you? I know how to achieve personal goals. Over the last 10 years, I’ve learned how to achieve every milestone that I’ve set my eyes on.

I’ve achieved my way to the life I want. Credential/education-wise, I’ve out-achieved 99% of folks in my field by earning my CMA (Certified Management Accountant), MBA (Master of Business Administration), CSCA (Certified in Strategy & Competitive Analysis), PMP (Project Management Professional), CPA (Certified Public Accountant).

When I take up new interests, I’ve become pretty good at setting and meeting those goals. I officially became an author last June with my first book published, and since then, I’ve written 10 books in total and have at least two more in development.

I’ll never be done. I will earn a doctorate and build a successful business in my lifetime.

I’m not lucky; I don’t have any special advantages; I’m not in Mensa.

But I have one advantage: I know how to set goals and achieve them. I don’t say that I’d like to, aspire to, wish I could, make something happen. I grit my teeth, lock on focus, and don’t let go until I’m finished.

I know, I know, you were probably wishing for some hack, trick, or secret tip that would help you shortcut the process. But there isn’t one.
