Enjoy What You’re Doing

While a top-tier MBA or a well sought-after job should seem like motivation enough to study as hard as possible for your GMAT, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture, and thus lose the motivation to study. There are several ways to sustain a high level of motivation throughout your GMAT prep. Let’s discuss the importance of enjoying what you’re doing.

Whether we are talking about your job, college classes, or GMAT preparation, one of the most effective ways to be motivated is to enjoy what you’re doing. On the other hand, working hard and ultimately achieving your goals becomes almost impossible when you don’t enjoy what you’re doing.

If you can find joy in your studying, you’ll be significantly more motivated to put in the necessary study time, and thus give yourself a great shot at achieving your GMAT goal. If you are struggling to find that enjoyment, consider the fact that not only will a high GMAT score help get you into a top MBA program, but also the skills you learn will carry over to business school classes and everyday life. So, instead of viewing GMAT studying as a drag, look at it as an opportunity to improve your skills — and yourself.

Warmest regards,
