Seven Steps To Success by Brian Tracy
Decide What You Want: decide exactly what it is you want in each part of your life. Become a “meaningful specific” rather than a “wandering generality.”
Write it down: Write it down, clearly and in detail. Always think on paper.
Set a deadline: set a deadline for your goal. A deadline acts as a “forcing system” in your subconscious mind.
Make a list: make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. When you think of new tasks and activities, write them on your list until your list is complete.
Organize your list: organize your list into a successful plan. Decide what you will have to do first and what you will have to do second. Decide what is more important and what is less important. And then write out your plan on paper, the same way you would develop a blueprint to build your dream house.
Take Action: take action on your plan. Do something. Do anything. But get busy. Get going.
Do Something Every Day: Do something every single day that moves you in the direction of your most important goal at the moment.
