1. Install a consequence that really, really hurts!
2. Hire a short term coach who will help you make it happen.
3. Break the goal down into important pieces and enjoy the momentum as you accomplish each one.
4. Link the goal to one of your values so that it becomes an expression of yourself vs just this 'thing' that you're working on.
5. Know the next goal you want to accomplish, even before you have fully started on the immediate goal; this creates perspective and context, making the current goal look much easier!
6. Find a way to be rewarded as you go; a runner sips water continually; she doesn't gulp it down at the end.
7. Start feeling and acting as if the goal has already been reached and then just do what it takes to 'finish' it.
8. Eliminate the consequences of non performance and just work on taking daily actions instead -- get your juice from taking the actions vs comparing to the goal.
9. Set an earlier end point and orient everything around reaching the goal by then.
10. Change the goal so that it CAN be reached easily -- who says you should pick only the tough goals.
