1. Know What You Want
.
In order to succeed at anything, you must begin with the end in mind. You must begin by clearly defining the target, seeing it in your imagination first and knowing exactly what it is you desire. Hold your objective in mind, and in your veins carry the knowledge that you already own the result. You must believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that if it is your will, then your will shall be done. You must have absolute faith, supreme confidence, and total conviction in the fact that once you have decided upon a target, NOTHING can stand in your way, or tempt you from your course.

2. Know Why You Want It
.
If you are not fully associated to your reasons, if you forget why the goal was so important, or if you don’t have reasons that are big enough to get you through whatever obstacles you will encounter, then you will probably never get there. Remember that “Reasons come first. Answers come second.” When you get a big enough WHY to do something, the HOW becomes easier. Once you know your reasons, once you’ve got some leverage on yourself, once you are truly inspired to go the distance, then you will undoubtedly attract everything you need to make it happen.

3. Take Massive Action
.
Take immediate action. Take massive action. Take consistent action. Take ANY action! If you act and you are wrong, you will gain precious insight that will help you to improve. If you act and you are right, then you are already moving forward. Remember that: “Experience is what I get when I didn’t get what I wanted.” Believe that: “Everything happens for a reason that serves me.” And know that: “Better results come from better judgment, and better judgment often comes from poor decisions.” Trust yourself. Trust your judgment. And take massive action. When you act against the improbable, you will achieve more than you ever dreamed possible.

4. Measure Your Results
.
Once you take action, take notice. Constantly monitor your progress to see how things are going. You might already be succeeding and not even be aware of how well you’re doing! You’ve got to appreciate how far you’ve come and constantly catch yourself doing well, because the better you feel about yourself than the better you’ll keep doing for yourself! Ask yourself empowering questions to stay locked on target: What is my outcome? How am I really doing? Am I getting what I want? Am I moving in a good direction? How can I be more effective? How can I have even more fun in the process. What more can I do right now? How’s my pace? How’s my tempo? What is my outcome?

5. Change Your Approach and Try UNTIL.
.
Does an airplane fly in a straight line from point A to point B? No! The pilot must constantly re-evaluate his approach and make adjustments a couple of degrees left, a few degrees right…up, down, slower, faster…a bit more here, a bit less there…whatever it takes to stay on course! If you find yourself off course, if you find something isn’t working, try something else! And if that doesn’t work, try something else! And if that doesn’t work, try something else! You must try UNTIL you get your desired result! How long would you give your average baby to learn how to walk, before you write him off and toss him out the door? What?!! You’d say “That’s crazy! My baby is going to keep on trying UNTIL he finally gets it!” That’s the magic formula.
