Focus on one thing at a time. The first thing to do is bring your desire for change into focus. With too many factors racing through your mind at a single time, things can quickly become too cluttered, to chaotic, and too overwhelming. Think of one thing, and one thing only, that you wish to change about your life. It doesn’t have to be a large goal; it’s actually better to begin with something very small. You may have several ideas in mind, but for now you must decide on a single goal and put the others aside.

Take the smallest step.
Far too many people have been fooled by the myth of the overnight success. They believe achieving a goal is built upon massive steps and superhuman strength. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The reality is that success is built upon a combination of tiny steps taken in the right direction. It’s a phone call, a new book read, or a jog around the block. It is the small things you do each day that bring you success, steps that anyone can complete. With your chosen goal in mind, think of a single action you can take today that will bring you a step closer to success. It doesn’t have to be a major step; any action in the right direction will do. When you complete this first miniature step, take the next one in line without concerning yourself about any of the steps ahead. Focus only on the next thing you need to do.

Recognize your progress.
With the steps above in place, you will begin to immediate improvement. And while it might not be the massive changes you ultimately desire, it is a step in the right direction, and that is the key to success in all its forms. Always keep this question in mind: Am I any closer to my goal today than I was yesterday? If you answer ‘yes,’ then you’re on the right path and you will achieve your goal. Take it one goal at a time, one action at a time, and be proud of the small accomplishments you make each day. Do these things, and you will succeed. After all, there is no other way.

1. Reproduce inspiring passages or excerpts. Have you ever read a particular book passage that left you feeling driven or inspired? This is a tool you should never leave behind. Copy these moving paragraphs down by hand or print them out with your computer and always keep them close at hand.

2. Create a personal goal card. Write - or use your computer to print - one of your most important goals on a sheet of paper or card stock. Cut out in the size of a business card and keep it in your wallet or purse. For a longer-lasting card, use self-laminating sheets from your local office supply store.

3. Put your voice mail to use. Have your wife or husband, children, or close friends call your home or cell phone and leave a message of hope, love, and support for the things you are trying to change about your life or goals you wish to accomplish. When times are tough, the perfect solution will be just a call away.

4. Connect your goal with your children. Here’s one that you can really get creative with. Begin by writing your goal on a large sheet of paper with a big, bold marker. Then take a picture of your children or spouse holding the sign and hang the picture in the places where motivation is needed most.

5. Print out your favorite motivational quotes. The right quotation at the right time can sometimes be all you need to trigger your motivation and take action. Instead of hoping this happens to you by chance, the tool below will make sure it happens whenever you want it to. Open your personal computer’s word processing program. Set the page orientation to landscape and add a classic border. Type in your favorite motivational quote in the center of the page and print onto a heavier stock of paper. Display wherever motivation is needed!

6. Schedule reminders with your computer or phone. Think of one thing you can do, just a single action, that will bring you closer to reaching your goals. When you have it in mind, record it into your computers or cell phone’s calendar and set the alarm to go off at the time the action needs to be completed.

7. Make use of your admiration. Connecting with those whom you admire or respect is a quick and easy way to tap into your internal motivation at a moment’s notice. Find a picture - from an old photo album if a family member, online if a historical figure - and tape it up in the location where it will best serve its motivational purpose.
