Re-state your “outcome” goal as a series of “performance” goals. State them positively – things you are going to do as opposed to things you are not going to do.
Picture the achievement of your goal and even plan how you will celebrate.
Think hard about your level of commitment. Determine how you will make time for your goal.
Determine what you will need to let go of to make room for your goal, what habits you will have to change and what new things you will need to start doing.
Share your goals with others. Cultivate your own support team.
Assess and measure your progress daily and weekly.
