The Robbi Crawford Show

Financially prepping for and successfully navigating through college can be overwhelming and stressful, especially when you consider the high cost of a college education today. Giving yourself a long runway and creating a financial strategy are key from launch prep to graduation.

During my cool conversation with Jessica Johnson, Founder of The Scholarship Academy, she shares lots of great info to help you get started today. As a college student, she was awarded $200,000 in scholarships, which was the inspiration for the work she does for students today via her thriving organization. Curious about how she did it and what she's learned that can help you? Listen to this entire episode!

Clarity and preparedness go a long way when it comes to attracting the right opportunities to and for you. When we observe the successes of others and it appears as if luck is on their side, know that they've invested, sometimes, years of time, energy, effort and resources behind the scenes prior to their "lucky break." Success is when preparation meets opportunity. Do you want to be a victim or a victor? It all boils down to making a decision.

What if you want to take a break between high school and college? How about taking 1-2 years off, whatever you need to ensure you have the vision, money and resources needed to launch successfully? First, know that there is nothing unusual about you or your situation if you don't know right now what you want to do. Taking an education break can be a refreshing respite after years of classes, studying, homework, test taking, reading, writing, etc. For many students taking a break can be a right fit decision.

One of the biggest challenges most students face is identifying what they really want to do. Many are asked, "What do you want to do when you finish high school?" When we're in transition of any kind where we have to choose what kind of work we'd love to do, it can be difficult.

In this episode, Karen Sottosanti, Founder of LifeSyncConsulting.com, and I discuss this dilemma and a few cool tools that can help you better understand how you're wired and identify a major and/or a career direction.

Congratulations College Graduate!!!

This is an exciting time. It's time to celebrate and acknowledge this big accomplishment. You are part of a select group of students who crossed the college graduation finish line.

Regardless of where or how you landed here, you're here and I want to applaud the time, energy and effort put forth to reach this milestone. How are you feeling? Elated? Excited? Uncertain? Fearful? After the celebration is over and you settle into the day to day, what's your plan for this next chapter in your life?

If you're on the treadmill of "doing busy" - checking off boxes; getting things done, but not necessarily the right things that will lead to your desired destination, chances are you often feel overwhelmed, stressed and exhausted at the end of your day. Performing at maximum capacity and achieving goals is often the aim, but what if asking WHY a lot more often and making a few simple adjustments could shift you in a more fulfilling and meaningful direction, would you be willing to ask WHY more often and make those necessary adjustments?

Choose Consciously!

There's much to consider after making a decision to go to college - What do I want to do? What do I want to major in? How do I pick the right college for me? And, a host of other important questions. It can be stressful and overwhelming when you consider the buffet of colleges available. Many just want to review some straight forward data to narrow their choices, which is where a powerful assessment can help. In this episode, Laurie Genevish, founder of MyIdealCollege.com, and I discuss the Harrison Assessment and how she uses this tool to take the mystery out of selecting your ideal college.

My student conversation this week is with Kenya Johnson, a recent Howard University graduate. We chat about how starting to prep for college as a 9th grader; college visits; being clear about what she desired and required; and mining for scholarships as her part-time job paid off big time. Planning smart before she even started made all the difference!
