Success to Go

As I have really started to think about the importance of preparedness, the idea of having a go-to grab bag I can take every day… started to feel valuable. Given I am still a student, my grab bag is usually a well prepared backpack. I know that whenever I grab this bag I will be prepared for opportunity and success whether it be school or work.

What does this matter, pack a bag… blah blah blah, but the thing is, what do you put in the bag? What items do you need to be prepared for opportunity and success each day?

I have compiled a list of five items you should always have close by so when opportunity knocks at your door. Grab your cutest bag, count your blessings and let’s get prepared!

Please note: This list is compiled from a creative entrepreneur point of view

1. Note Pad and Writing Utensil

This may seem like a no-brainer, but always having a pad and pen on you allows you instant ability to take notes, make lists, creative though plans, and truly materialize all of your great ideas. Bringing idea to paper really creates motivation to evaluate and mend ideas towards perfection.

2. Smart Phone or Computer

This is one we sometimes may not have the ability to bring along… whether that be inability to afford the items or space. If you are able to have a smart phone or computer on hand, you have instant access to a calendar, the internet, email, and many other forms of success utility and communication.

3. Business Card and Resume

Since I am a college student with a job hunt load of anxiety and freelance experience, I like to be ready when a potential client or future employer crosses my path. If I have my resume and card, I am ready form a connection leading me to opportunities to grow and make doe!

4. Phone Charger
