CPA Study Motivation Tip #3: The Document That Will Keep You on Track

Ok, we're back with video number 3

In this video, we're going to go over a secret document that will help you pass

Again, this is video 3 of 31, or tip number 3 of 31 tips, and you can access the full

guide at superfastcpa.com slash free. Or you can watch all the videos on the YouTube channel or on the SuperfastCPA blog

So the secret document I'm referring to is your CPA Exam Mission Statement

This is an actual document that you will keep by your desk and you'll read every day

This will make a gigantic difference in your motivation and your ability to just simply

stay on track and push yourself through every daily study session. First you're going to have the 3 best things

What this means is you will write out the 3 best things that will happen if you pass

That can be from your perspective, whatever that is, promotions, higher pay, the fact

that the CPA exams are finally over, whatever the 3 best things in your perspective are

that will happen to you once you have the CPA exams passed

You write those out, you write them in sentence format, and you describe them in whatever

way you want in terms that motivate you, that make you excited to pass the exams

Next you'll write down the 3 worst things. This is the opposite

You write out the 3 worst things that will happen or won't happen if you don't pass

such as a lower career ceiling, frustration, wasted time, lower pay, etc

You write out the 3 worst things, again, to you personally, the 3 worst things that will

happen or won't happen if you don't pass the exams. The third thing will be a paragraph that contains your daily plan

This is basically what you're willing to do, what you're going to do every single day

to pass. This is the when, the what, the where, and the how long of your study plan

Now, some of the other videos in this series or in the guide that you can download will

guide you through how you should formulate your study plan and your overall strategy

So you can go and view those after this, but you're going to use that to write out your

daily plan, exactly what you're going to do, when you're going to study, where you're going

to study. I would recommend studying in the morning or doing the bulk of your studying in the morning

That's a topic for another video. You write out in clear terms what you're going to do on a daily basis to pass these exams

So then you take this document, print it out, and you read it every day to keep yourself

on track. This is an extremely powerful tool for motivation and focus

This might seem a little Tony Robbins or too self-help for some people, but I promise you

for candidates that have failed a section, you become intimately familiar with how hard

it is to self-motivate and focus and go through the study process for a second or even third

time for the same section. So motivation becomes a very real challenge

Taking 10 or 15 minutes to write out your personal reasons for staying motivated and

focused to pass in the form of this type of document will be extremely helpful on a day-to-day

basis for you. You print out the document and you keep it where you sit down to study each day and you

literally read it before you start each study session. You can get the guide 100% free at superfastcpa.com slash free
