I am asked regularly if the program Dean has designed works. People want to know if they are really going to reap rewards if they put in the effort.
Everyday I see someone who is making money in this business. The common thread with successful students seems to be a willingness to work and a willingness to put the techniques to work. Successful students see the end and take the steps to get there. They are not looking for a way to fail, but anticipate rewards.
I often remind students that some of the biggest regrets in life that we have is not the fact that we tried and failed, but that we never gave it a shot. When we don't try we can feel the effects for a lifetime.
