- Who’s on your success team? Surround yourself with individuals who inspire you. These should be people you trust, whose work ethic is admirable.
- Drop the “friends” that are unmotivated and are sabotaging their own success.
- Your success team doesn’t have to be in your field or industry. They do need to be honest with you, but also encouraging.

- Members could include professors, coaches, advisors, career counselors, industry professionals, co-workers and fellow students.
- Success teams work best if they are mutually beneficial – remember to give back.

- If you love art history, for example, but want to be an event planner, go ahead and major in art history, but look for ways to get event planning experience through internships, volnteering, and involvement in student organizations.
