I'll add to what Pravin and Arlene have said only in that Networking should be considered an essential skill for anyone coming into the field of Project Management. Finding the right people to ask questions to and having the comfort to do so without hesitation will be vital for a long time. Further, the value of a dedicated mentor in the PM community can't be overstated. Saving Changes...

The first thing is to clearly understand what does mean "successful" inside the organization you are working regarding project manager role. And more important is to understand what the project manager role is inside the organization you are working for. It is amazing to find how organizations are talking about project manager when they really want a project leader or project coordinator. You need to understand that no matter what you know or what you think about project manager you will work inside an organization where the project management culture determines your acts more of the time.
