Points To Remember

Stay Motivated - Read about the struggles and successes of other people which can be a huge motivator to get you going.

Ask for guidance. No one can tell you exactly what you should do to achieve your goal, but one of the best sources for guidelines is to ask those who have done what you hope to achieve.

Seek help. Find the information, skills and knowledge that you need from other people, books, and audio or video programs.
