"My goal is always to inspire my readers to want – no, demand – more out of life. After reading this article, you’ll feel encouraged, inspired, and focused. I want you to be empowered to change the world in which you live – empowered to change you!"

It has been my personal experience that the surest way to stay on track and not give up or lose focus along your journey to reaching your goals in your life is to take small action after small action. I know that this may sound simple, but it’s the key reason that so many never reach their goals or live their dreams. An Olympic 400 meter runner was once asked, "How do you prepare yourself mentally for a race." She responded by saying, "Every time I get in my starter blocks, I tell myself that I’m going to run the first 100 meters of this race the best that I know how. After that, I’ll decide if I want to run the last 300 meters or not."

What are the odds that she’ll stop after running the first 100 meters? Of course she’ll finish the race, but the real challenge lies in starting the race. Today, your biggest challenge is simply starting. Then once you’ve started, you will follow these steps:

First, take your time. Don’t get in a rush. Q: Do you know how to eat an elephant burger?

A: You eat it one bite at a time. Q: Do you know how you will see success in your life? A: One accomplishment at a time.

Second, stay focused on the small picture. Don’t get discouraged because the big picture isn’t as complete as you had hoped it would have been by now. In your life, success will come after a series of small action steps. Don’t expect to succeed in one giant leap. Expect to take small step after small step until you’re finally there.

Third, celebrate small accomplishments. Each morning or once a week, you should sit down and determine what small actions you will take that day or that week in the direction of your goals and dreams. After you’ve accomplished them, celebrate that accomplishment and then move on to the next action that you will take.

Fourth, be consistent. The key is to take action every single day toward your goals. The greatest key in reaching your goals and dreams in life is consistency. It doesn’t matter how small the action is. What’s most important is that you’re consistently taking daily actions.
