Failure Scenario: Writing out a detailed failure scenario creates a strong emotional response that motivates action.
Daily Action Plan: A clear, actionable plan is essential. This includes what you will do daily to achieve your goals.
Success Scenario: Visualizing a positive outcome after following your action plan helps reinforce commitment and drive.
Adaptability: Plans should be flexible. Execute now and adjust as needed rather than waiting for a perfect plan.
