This is a great video of Bill Bartmann explaining his 9 Steps to Achieve Any Goal:

(1) Make sure your goal is your own.

(2) Make your goal a promise.

(3) Clearly identify your promise. Be specific.

(4) Identify your personal motivator. (Prove my friends wrong)

(5) Create a promise plan. Detailed plan including: How? Why? What? Where? When?

(6) Review your plan daily.

(7) Tell yourself you are going to achieve this promise.

(8) Tell others about your promise.

(9) Visualize the final result. See yourself in the moment of success.
