Jordan Radford: What You Need to Become Successful

Posted on Tuesday, December 18th, 2018

Jordan Radford is a young man born and raised in the Petawawa area, who not only recently graduated from our Business program, but he also became an author this year. At 19 years of age, Radford managed to find the time to write his digital book, What You Need to Become Successful, all while completing a challenging compressed diploma program.

This book was written with young people, like Radford, in mind. It offers advice and guidance on what he sees as the key characteristics necessary to become successful:

  • Work ethic
  • Drive
  • Patience
  • Passion
  • Communication
  • Planning

Entrepreneurship and leadership are at Radford’s core, using his background as a hockey coach, plus, his most recent experience as a personal trainer, to lay out a framework that anyone can use to help focus their ability to be successful.

Once Radford decided to write his book, he quickly discovered that self-publishing a digital book was the best way to get his book out there in the world. This simple discovery is a result of a characteristic that Radford touches on in his book – drive. Drive can be a powerful attribute to have that enables you to set a goal and work towards that goal step-by-step.

While many of Radford’s supporter have acknowledged that he is very young to have already accomplished such a goal, they also recognize that his advice is very relatable and practical.

Our Business program certainly helped Radford to work towards his writing goal with courses like Brand Creation for a Digital World to help develop the skills necessary to assess, create and deliver digital media content for online marketing and branding purposes and Communication Skills for Business to help develop his writing style. Radford offers, “You can take work ethic, drive, and passion – those attributes – and put those into your everyday life.”

It seems like nothing can hold this young man back and we wouldn’t be surprised to if Radford published another book in the near future building on what he continues to learn each day. Radford’s message for his readers, “Anything is possible.” Powerful words for everyone to remember each day.
