Keys to achieving your goals.

Once you've decided on your goal, work out the steps needed to achieve it.

Once you've written your goal in detail and decided on the steps, schedule them.

If you need the support of a friend or a coach, arrange it.

Review your progress regularly.

Learn from feedback. As you progress you may need to make adjustments to your plan. Be flexible.

Don't allow your feelings to sabotage you. If you're scared or bored or discouraged go ahead and do the next thing anyway. Take the next steps regardless of how you feel.

Learn to see disappointments and obstacles as challenges.

Don't give up. Remember what you want, why you want it and what it will give you, and go for it regardless.

Ask for what you want and for what you need.

Don't assume that people know what you want. The worst that can happen is that people will say no and the likelihood is that they will actually say yes. and offer some degree of help or support.

If you're not actively involved in getting what you say you want consider that it might be something that you think you want yet you don't really want it at all.

When you really want something you do take action to make sure you get it.
