It’s hard to persevere and overcome obstacles along the way – especially when there are a lot of them. Anyone who achieves their goals has persevered to get to where they want to be.
Top tips to take away

- On your bad days, it’s difficult to maintain motivation. Remember that it’s okay to take small steps sometimes, as long as you’re still moving forward
- Being tired and having a lack of energy can impact your motivation – but learn from this, and ask why you're feeling like you do
- If you make a mistake or something goes wrong, pick yourself up and try again – you will learn how to do it right over time
- Invest in yourself. Research, network and grab new opportunities
- Remember, as long as you’re passionate about something and work hard, the world is yours to take.
