Use the reverse approach, start from what you want, and start to enumerate things that will make you get there. For those things to become reality what kind small things you need to do? Go from there. enumerate them one by one.
3. Make a Plan
After enumerating goals, you need to schedule them in a timeline to achieve what you want. Where will you start? What smalls tasks must be done first? What tasks can come second?

5. Track your Results
While you work on what you have to do, you need to acknowledge what kind of results you're producing. Don't stop all the time to see it, but schedule a day to review what kind of things you're achieving in the short term. It could be once a week, once a month, it depends on what your goals are. It's important because the results you're getting will give a clue if you're going the right way or not.
6. Learn from Failure
Imagine if things aren't going the right way? And you're not getting what you want... you have to get some kind of lesson out of it. You must learn from your mistakes, analyze what you have done and find out where things might went wrong. If you take the same steps but correct that mistake you can eventually be right next time.
