You have the potential to do great things in your life. Knowing what really matters to you and learning as much as you can about it can help you achieve these things. Talk to as many people as possible. Share your ideas with your family and friends. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind–there’s no such thing as a bad idea. Get your voice out there and express yourself –you can always make changes to your plans later or draw from old ideas to create something totally new.

You don’t have to look far to find what inspires you. Think about your interests, what is it you love doing? What’s the one goal you dream of achieving? Find people to support you on your journey such as your friends, your parents and your community

Build up your self-confidence. Never tell yourself you’re going to fail. Believe you can make it. Self-confidence gives you the drive to work harder and overcome any obstacles that come your way.

Education and training are crucial –they’re the key to achieving your goals. Do everything you possibly can to get training in your desired field.

Learn how to save money. If you haven’t started saving yet, start today! This is one of life’s most important lessons. Saving money now helps you become self-reliant and independent later. It’s also essential in case you ever have an emergency. What can you do to earn and save money? Raise rabbits, farm chickens, grow vegetables –anything you can think of! Ask your parents to open a bank account for you so you can deposit whatever you earn, that way you won’t be tempted to spend it on unnecessary things.
