From High School To Career Success

When I was in high school, I did not have a solid Plan for Success. I knew I wanted to graduate and go to college however, I really did not have an effective plan for making that happen. I only focused on getting a football scholarship, which I did. I was fortunate that I just did make it because I only had one scholarship offer to Savannah State College. If I had not gotten a football scholarship then I honestly don't know what I would have done. I had divorced parents who had not gone to college so they could not provide guidance on how to get there other than just saying don't make D's and F's. I have had a successful career with a few great companies. I have made it to the illustrious 6 figure income however, I often wonder if I could have made my journey much easier. I looked back over the periods in my life where the decisions I made first began to affect me as an adult and the most impactful life stage was in high school. My Goal? To develop a process that is simple to follow for high school students. The Critical Zone is the foundation on which success can be built. Please use this book to develop your Personal Strategic Plan (PSP) for your high school success.
