I want to be successful but how?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
You are limited to what you can do due to being just 14 so what about a paper round? It will give you a little money or you could try learning by reading books or online as there are many free e-books about business ideas and learning now will enable you to choose something that you will enjoy and maybe make you the next Richard Brandson?

Starting an online business when you are older is a lot less expensive and risky than an offline one which requires huge capital borrowing to invest and where you could go bankrupt? Search Amazon Books and Dummies website for ideas.

Good luck,

Hello Maisie, this is actually not a dumb question at all. It's actually one of the most asked questions in the world.

This is what you do. Find out what you love to do! If you haven't figured it out yet, you still have plenty of time. Figuring out what you love to do is very difficult, so keep your eyes open and ask questions!

Once you figure out what you love to do, become REALLY good at it! Once you become really good at what you love to do, the money will follow once you get older!

For example, let's just say you love to draw. Draw until your hands start to hurt, and then keep on drawing! After many years of doing this, you will become really good and you will be able to sell your drawings to people. You know why? because it will look really good!

I hope this makes since! And always, never forget why you are pushing yourself to become successful! (It's because you want to make your family proud, and you want to live happy!)

Just concentrate on what you can do now. Most of us can do something. Just try to perfect it.

But maybe you should rethink what you call successful.

Most people talk in monetary terms.

But being told you're the best sibling, offspring, parent, confidant etc., are also successes. Remember not everyone can be, let alone are, those.

Good luck.

I always remember being asked "Where would you like to be in 5 years" and having no idea. To be honest it's only now that I really understand and I'm 32.

The good thing you have is an idea. Take that idea and build a plan.

Do not get caught

I don't know in what. Not gonna do a big sob story because we all have our background. I have expected grades of mainly Cs and Bs and possibly an A in English if I push myself, so I guess I can't get an amazing job and also my parents are earning very little. (I'm 14 by the way, living in the UK) I just wanna make something successful of my life and make my parents proud, live a life I'm not use to. I know this question is pretty dumb and you can't tell me how to get rich because if it was that simple we'd all be millionaires.
