I'll give you my example in hope that you will use it to take your goals and make a plan that will help you get to where you want to be. Coming into freshman year I decided that my overall goal was to start my own business. I knew that if I wanted to increase my percent chance of developing a successful start up there were lots of things that I needed to learn. In order to organize my plan I categorized the skills that I knew I needed to learn as "stepping stones". I then had laser focus on developing these skills in order for me to have "climbed that stepping stone". As an investor in training I knew that one of Warren Buffett's basic principles was to invest into companies that had great leaders. So before I invested any money into myself I wanted to be confident that I met the criteria for being a successful leader. I had to be certain that I would continuously grow my business year after year. Which in return I knew would grow my personal capital investment. And classify myself as more of a safe and secure investment. I looked for every opportunity I could to prove to myself that I had what it took to be a "great leader" by Warren Buffets standards. This is when the investing stepping stone training had begun thanks to Warren Buffett's trainings on youtube. The intelligent investor book and other countless online training programs).

I knew the next step to owning a business was to learn how to sell a product, service, and myself. I knew this would help me sell my product for my business as well as help me present my business idea to investors. Sales skills were a must! When I turned 18, I seeked out the hardest sales job. This happened to be door to door solar energy sales consulting. I quickly rose to the top of the office in sales for the two first months on the job. Everyday I drove 50mins away to get to my territory and I would listen to audiobooks there and back I did this everyday for the next 6 months. I listened to 4 different audiobooks about sales. I had so much driving time in the car that I was able to listen to each book at least twice and some even three times. I was determined to turn my car into a university on wheels. In this 6 months I mentored ("mentoring skills") my friend and he set up appointments and I would come to close the deals. After 6 months of selling solar energy. I wanted to try selling a product instead of a service. I also knew I would have even better success now with my new sales knowledge and customer service skills. I figured I would do really well at what ever sales job I took next. I couldn't have been more right.

At my second sales job I started around April 2017 and I sold high end cutlery, cookware, and kitchenware gadgets. I rose to the top of my office immediately the first week I sold $8,000 worth of the CUTCO product. Within two weeks they asked me to become an assistant manager ("business management"). Within 3 months I sold more than $30,000's of the CUTCO product ("sales"). Every week I was recognized with a big check and countless of other awards. I was recognized many times as a push week champion. And at one point was awarded best assistant manager in the region. The company bought me two suits, a nice tie, dress shirt, and some nice business shoes. Along with giving me more than $2,000 worth of free high-end cutlery. I was asked to prepare a talk on how to sell bigger sets for the divisional meeting where I spoke to more than two hundred people or around 7 different offices. I was assigned 5 new traniees every week to mentor them up and keep them motivated ("training/coaching/mentoring skills").
The success I had in my last sales job was the tipping point. I knew after this I was ready. As an investor, I proved to myself that I was worthy of investing my money into Jaron Lodge's business. I knew I was going to be a successful business owner from that point. I also now have the capital I need to start a business ("capital"). With all the capital I raised I knew it could grow fast too.
