Becoming successful is not by magic and it does not happen over night. As a young person in Africa with the heart desire to succeed and achieve great things for yourself, community, country and continent you need to adopt new habits that will propel you to achieve this heart desire. 

 Some of these habits will greatly help you.

1. Imagination
It cost you nothing to imagine but it will cost you everything not to imagine yourself achieving your goals. Deep Patel will say Develop a state of mind in which you clearly can visualise your goals for attaining wealth

2. Break the Comfort Zone
You people who are serious about succeeding and achieving great things must be willing to break out of their comfort zone. people who like their comfort zone avoid hard work. You can never succeed in your comfort zone

3. Avoid poor financial habits. ( Click this link to read my article on Money Habits Leaving Young People Broke in Africa http://www.celbmdafrica.org/2017/03/money-habits-leaving-young-people-broke.html)

4. Improve
Successful people seek to improve themselves constantly. Make sure you learn something new everyday that will draw you closer to your goal of being successful. As a young person who wants to succeed, you must be willing to learn, unlearn and relearn. I will recommend you take a course with CELBMD Africa (visit http://www.celbmdafrica.org/p/courses.html)

5. Association
There is a popular saying that show me your friends and i will tell you who you are well show me your present friends and i will prophecy who you will be. Do your best to associate with successful people because association determins assimilation. Mingle around with people that will push you beyond your limits.

6. Believe in yourself
To succeed as a young person you must first believe in yourself and your abilities. When you believe that you can succeed, you will find ways through difficult obstacles, same as if you believe you can not succeed and are unluck you will just find excuses.

7. Take Action
No matter how bad you want to succeed if you dont take action you will go no where. Hope is hopeless without action. Success only comes through action

Start making changes where necessary. Your present situation is a result of yesterday’s decisions and your future will be determined by your today’s decisions.
