How To Make Immediate Progress And Change In Your Life
As you take daily steps toward your goals, your confidence will increase. As your confidence increases, your belief that you will succeed will grow.
Only 3% of Americans have written goals. Only 1% of Americans rewrite their goals on a daily basis. Giving yourself even five minutes per day to orient your life in the direction of your goals is the difference between success and average.

Without orienting yourself first thing in the morning with who you are and what you're about, you will be going through the motions. You'll be disconnected from your purpose. You'll be disconnected in your relationships. You'll lack motivation and conviction. You'll allow low-level influences, activities, and actions
