Also, write down what obstacles or barriers you will have to overcome. By doing this it will help you be mentally prepared to deal with the challenges you will face. 

3. 76% of goals are accomplished if written with action steps and monitor progress weekly. The third step is to grade yourself weekly on your action steps. For example, if you have four action steps that you need to do weekly. But you only complete three out of the four. Then your score will be a 75%. Then ask yourself why you didn't complete all tasks.
