The tools you need to be successful
We all know flight training is a big commitment and investment. Naturally you want to knock everything out ASAP (As Soon As Possible) to avoid getting a delay in your training, because any delay will ultimately cost you more money in housing etc. It is possible to get all your ratings in 7 to 10 months – which is really fast, trust me. The record at our school is in 5 1/2 months. Now, that’s just crazy, I know. In this article I’ll talk about getting all your ratings done in a fast, efficient and effective way.

When you are studying about aerodynamics all your Instagram followers can wait a while longer till you post that picture of the setting sun. Studying = studying, nothing else should be on your mind and bother you.
When you’re disciplined and focused, the more motivation you get. Why, and how is that possible? Well, as soon as you start studying and really understand the topics you’ll get more motivated! This all leads to being more effective. The last thing you need in order for this to really start working for you is structure. You need to study almost everyday and make a plan of when you need to study. Then you’ll get used to it. It’s actually a circle I like to call the circle to success:
