Clearly define what success means to you. Having a clear definition will help you set attainable goals.
Develop empathy for yourself and others. No one is perfect. Don't be hard on yourself for not knowing everything. Experience and knowledge come with time.
Embrace the new opportunity. There are going to be moments of fear, anxiety, excitement and accomplishment. Let these moments drive you to keep moving forward.
