English to Russian Marketing Marketing / Market Research

Imagine spending millions of dollars in research and development to develop some of the best and most innovative sports technology products available. Imagine spending as much, if not more, on top marketing and advertising to develop a brand name synonymous with success in the industry. Imagine that feeling of having “arrived” after years of hard work, sleepless nights, and making sacrifices no one ever told you in college you would have to make as an adult.

Прошу помочь с последним предложением: как "прилепить" фразу " no one ever told you in college you would have to make as an adult. "

of having “arrived” - также не совсем понятно - достигнув поставленной цели?

Буду благодарна за перевод всего предложения...

Спасибо.
