  1. Picture It.  In other words - what do you see?  You've got to SEE something before you can BUILD something.  Get a picture of your dreams and goals and put them on paper.  Einstein said, "Your imagination is a preview of life's coming attractions."
  2. Start Today.  I once heard someone say, "It's not where you start, but whether you start."  In other words you may have a dream of writing books and publishing them all over the world.  If that's your dream, then what have you written?  Have you written the book yet or are you still waiting for the perfect time?  Start today, even if it's only for 10 minutes.  Preparation is the key.  Be ready for your opportunity.
  3. Schedule Time Daily.  Schedule a specific time in your daily agenda and go after it!  Don't let anything come in the way of this time.    Don't wait until tomorrow...do it today
