The correct answer was: “Pray and ask God to make this whole thing a successful experience.” Everything needs to begin by asking God to lead you through the process successfully. That is more important than working hard, or planning well, or having the right networks of friends. God will often work in a way that is contrary to what we think would be best, and God will ALWAYS have His way in the end, so the sooner we align with His ways, the more successful we will be.
