3 Habits To Break After Graduating
Are you a recent graduate of a college, university, or specialized institute? Congratulations! If you’re thinking about heading off into the world of entrepreneurship, however, you’ll need to make some massive life changes if you want people to take you seriously. We’re going to outline the 3 most common habits you’ll need to break after post-secondary education:
[success]1. Cliquing[/success]
Almost everyone was part of a clique in high school and chances are you found a clique in college or university. While it’s great to know like-minded people and make friends – don’t forget that these are your most formative years and entrepreneurship is all about breaking out of your comfort zone and taking risks. That means you’ll have to ditch your clique every so often and get out there. Breaking this habit will also force you to develop social skills like networking, diversifying, and being able to recognize a different set of talents within other people.
[success]2. Procrastinating[/success]
In college and university you’d procrastinate all the time – admit it – we’ve all been there. The worst thing you can do is keep procrastinating. If you’re constantly telling yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow” or “That can wait” then you’ll very quickly find yourself in a world of stress and struggle. Stay on top of what you need to do. Outline a plan for yourself, set deadlines, and practice good time management. The sooner you stop procrastinating, the more you’ll get done.

[success]3. Partying[/success]
We get it, you’re young, you have your degree or diploma and that’s great, but it’s not an excuse to be irresponsible. We’re not saying stay in all the time and never have fun – we’re just saying that it’s important to have priorities. So, yes, you’ll probably have to miss out on some fun times, but it’ll pay off in the long run. Chances are you’ve already had 4 years of partying and that’s more than your fair share. Now it’s time to buckle down and get serious.
