1-Pick a goal that matters greatly to you. The stronger your desire for the goal the sharper your focus will be. If your goal matters a great deal to you then you will work with intensity to hit it. It helps to tie your goal to a dream that you want to come true. Your goal should also tie in to other goals. So often we have small goals that we must hit before we hit our main goal. Make your goal a goal within a bigger goal. Then the importance of that goal as it relates to the accomplishment of your bigger goal will help to keep you on track. Also the progressive achievement of your goals should lead to your obtaining a dream. When your desire for that dream is strong then you will be compelled to stay on track.

When you know exactly what you want it is easier to plan ways of getting it. Should you stray off course along the way you will be able to recognize it and readjust quickly because you know exactly where you are going.
