What are the strategies you can suggest for a person to become successful?

In my life, I have had a lot of trouble figuring out how to be successful. As it turns out I am really good at a lot of things but I could never get to the level of success that I wanted. One day, not literally, I figured out that the main reason for my lack of success was that I never stuck with anything long enough, I would get bored with it. I still do this, or at least finding myself doing this from time to time and I have to stop and think about why I started in the first place and what my goals are. I truly believe that anyone from any background has the potential to be successful if they really want it, but it is a lot of WORK and I think that is what turns people off many times. My suggestions are to have a clear goal in mind. If you decide that you want to be an attorney, for example. Don't just decide to be an attorney, but rather decide where you want to go to school, what type of law you want to practice, and then make a succint plan to meet those milestones. I believe that without a clear and consise plan to follow it is very difficult to get where you ultimately want to be. I must admit, I am still striving to reach that ultimate goal, but now that I have laid out a clear plan, I am on my way. Just by following these steps, I have made more progress in the last 3 years than I did in the previous 10 years of my adult life.
