Getting out of a tight financial and education spot.

I received a question in an email a few weeks ago and I thought it might be helpful to discuss some answers for this person’s situation in our newsletter. Perhaps some of our readers can relate to this young man’s situation and could give him some ideas.

	I was wondering if you can help me. I’m a 19 year old college student who needs financial help. I recently have qualified for financial aid and just got a letter in the mail saying that I will not be getting assistance for the applied year which would be the fall of 2005 school year. I don't live with my parents, but with my girlfriend and her parents. I am not a high school graduate. No one in my family has graduated from high school. I can not get a job because of it and because I live in California. I am enrolled in adult school because I do want to get my high school diploma. I have no car and now no source of income. If you can send me any information that could help, I would really appreciate it.

Motivation

I hope that over the last two issues you invested the time to identify the goals that would have the most significant impact on your life, determine the steps you need to take to achieve them and identify the person who can most help you with their accomplishment. Upon completion of those steps, set the deadline for achieving your goals.

Once you have done all of that, you now need to have the motivation to pursue them. Motivation is a key component of success and I’ve noticed that Olympians in the sporting arena as well as Olympians in life are highly motivated to turn their dreams into reality...
