Let $G$ be a finite group and $p$ a prime number. If $G$ is a $p$-group, i.e. the order of every element of $G$ is a power of $p$ then is the order of $G$ equal to some power of $p$? How do I show this?

By Cauchy's theorem, if there is another $q$ dividing $|G|$, then there exist an element of order $q$ in $G$ for prime $q$ which conclude the result.
