People often ask me what I think are the most important keys to
achieving successful outcomes. There are many, but the one thing
that I see as being the most essential—and often ignored—is
consistency.

Any worthwhile, challenging goal requires sustained effort.
Doing the things necessary for a day or two isn't hard. Where
most people fall down is in stringing those days together and
thereby creating the progress, the momentum, and ultimately, the
successful accomplishment.

What follows are ten ways to maintain your focus, your energy
and your optimism while pursuing your goal. They've worked for
me and they'll work for you. When I've employed all of these
components, I've never failed to achieve my intention.

1. Have Powerful Reasons. With a strong enough reason you can
and will find the how and the wherewithal to achieve your
reward. Reasons plus belief keep you motivated. When you're
excited about your goal, it doesn't seem like work. If you're
not excited, your efforts will require more discipline and
energy. Make sure it's YOUR goal. Make sure it excites you. And
then act enthusiastically.

2. Write Your Objectives Down. This is a critical step. Don't
think it, ink it. When you write your goals down, they appear
not only on paper, but they become indelibly written upon your
consciousness.

3. Visualize. 'See' your objective already in existence. Nothing
can withstand the power of a clear, multi-sensory vision of what
you are intending. What does it look like? What will people be
saying about it? How will you feel? The more detailed and 'real'
you can make your vision, the more powerful it will be. It will
operate like a magnet and draw forth all kinds of things you
never thought possible.

4. Affirm Your Success. Speak your goal into existence. An
affirmation is a present-tense, positive statement of your
intended outcome. I now have achieved ______________ (fill in
the blank). The more sensory rich you can make your
affirmations, the more effective they will be. All of these
techniques help you to feel the presence of your objective and
build belief.

5. Make a Plan of Action. To achieve and stay focused upon your
objective, create an action plan. What are the steps you will
take to get you from where you are to where you want to be? Your
strategies will likely change as you go along, so set your goals
in concrete and your plans in sand. Keep your eye on the goal,
but remain flexible in your path to it.

6. Measure Your Progress. You can't change what you don't
measure. Create mechanisms that will allow you to see your
progress. Use charts. Log your actions. Use anything that will
encourage you by allowing you to objectively track your
progress. We all need feedback—it's the breakfast of champions.

7. Maintain a Support System. Have a Master Mind Group. Use the
Buddy System. Surround yourself with people who will encourage
and challenge you. Be accountable to someone other than
yourself. Read positive books. Review past successes.

8. Focus On Only a Few Goals at a Time. You can achieve anything
you desire, but not EVERYTHING you desire. Concentrate your
efforts and your energy on just a few. I might have dozens of
goals and projects, but I keep three key goals in the forefront
of my mind.

9. Take Action Every Day. An important objective warrants daily
attention. A 400-page novel is not written all at once. To many,
writing a 400-page novel would be overwhelming. But a little
over a page a day will get it done in a year. Every goal can be
broken down into doable tasks done consistently.

10. Celebrate Your Milestones. Mark your successes and
acknowledge yourself for your progress. As you achieve one goal,
you can see better and believe more easily in the accomplishment
of others. You deserve to succeed and you deserve to celebrate
your successes.
