You are you're only obstacle. You can find a solution to every problem that arises and wants to prevent you from reaching your goals, you just have to be willing to put in the effort to over come those challenges.

Create and pursue S.M.A.R.T. goals -- S.M.A.R.T. goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.

Take decisive and immediate action. Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action.

Focus on being productive, not being busy. In other words, work smarter, not harder.

Make logical, informed decisions. Think things through before making life-changing decisions.

Avoid trying to make things perfect. The only way to get things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time.

Work outside of your comfort zone. Embrace all moments of opportunity for personal growth and success.

Keep things simple. Rather than evaluating every last detail of every possible option, choose something you think will work and give it a shot.

Focus on making small, continuous improvements. Soon you'll find yourself on a spiral of changes, one building on the other.

Measure and track your progress ? Step back and assess your progress regularly so you know what needs to be done to excel and accelerate.

Maintain a positive outlook as you learn from your mistakes. Look for the silver lining in every situation.

Spend time with the right people. You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with.

Maintain balance in your life. An imbalanced lifestyle will hold you back from reaching your full potential.

The purpose of goals is to focus our attention. The mind will not reach toward achievement until it has clear objectives. The magic begins when we set goals.

The most important thing about goals is having one. - Geoffry F. Abert

Until input (thought) is linked to a goal (purpose) there can be no intelligent accomplishment. - Paul G. Thomas
