Tony Robbins advises, “Decide what you’re completely dedicated to attaining, take huge action, and pay attention to what works and what doesn’t.” Then, alter your method until you attain your goal.”

“Write your objectives down in detail and read them every day,” advises Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup For The Soul series. Then consider what you can do today to go closer to accomplishing one of your objectives.
