I’ve just finished listening to Bill Bartmann explain this again. It’s good. I’m starting to notice commonalities between motivational speakers and the steps they make to any goal :)

I Google’d a bit for the actual 9 steps though, and I can’t find the list online!
So I thought I’d make the list myself in case anyone else looks. Of course, if you want explanation of what they really mean, you’ll need to listen to Bartmann.

1. Make sure the goal you set is really your goal
2. Make a promise to yourself instead of setting a goal
3. Clearly identify your promise
4. Identify your personal motivator
5. Construct a promise plan
6. Review your plan regularly
7. Tell yourself you are going to fulfil your promise regularly
8. Tell others you are going to fulfil your promise
9. Envision the result

And the 10th step he mentions is review this process every day to maintain your focus!

    I do have a bit of a guilty conscience. But I am a “live for the moment” kind of person, and prefer to have disposable income today, because I don’t know if I’ll even be alive 5-10 years from now, let alone 50.
