  3. Building a Supportive Network: Surrounding oneself with positive, like-minded individuals is essential for success. A supportive network can provide inspiration, accountability, and opportunities for collaboration.

  4. Maintaining Discipline and Focus: Staying committed to goals, even when motivation wanes, is vital. Utilising tools like time blocking and habit trackers can help maintain focus and efficiency in achieving objectives.
