Step 20: Keep Score of your short term goals: Make a list of all your short term goals. Create a chart in which you can check each one off when you complete each goal. Each time you complete a goal, do something nice for yourself. You will find that if you reward yourself after each completed goal, you will stay motivated longer.

Step 18: Find A Accountability Partner: Find someone you know that can help keep you accountable? Your accountability partner could be a spouse, friend, or family member. Whoever the person is they must be focused on your goals, and won't let you slack off. Having someone to give support and push us to keep working makes goals much easier to obtain.

Step 17: Visualize: Use pictures to help you visualize your perfect outcome for your goals. For example If you wanted to buy a new boat, post an exact picture of the boat you want where you will see it each morning when you wake up and each night before you go to bed.

Step 16: Find Someone With Similar Goals: Try and find as many people as you can with similar goals, the more people you have the more support you will create.

Step 13: Give Your Goals Time: Changes hardly ever happen over night, you must give yourself time to accomplish your goals. You do not need to accomplish them all by night fall, but one at a time in a steady manner that fits your lifestyle.

Step 12: Break Your Bigger Goals Up Into Smaller Goals: Each one of us have large lifetime goals, but hardly any of us know what we will have to achieve piece by piece to get there. Make a time table for your large goals, add smaller goals as check points. Strive to accomplish each goal as you go.
