  4. Hold yourself accountable:
    – Hold yourself accountable by maintaining focus and discipline throughout your process.
  5. Reward yourself:
    – Rewarding yourself will help reinforce the positive actions you’ve taken so you can continue doing it.
  6. Develop systems and habits:
    – Effective systems and habits make it easier for you to accomplish your goals on a regular basis.

As I go through and read these things, it’s simple! Simple to read them that is. It’s a whole different feeling to actually put them into motion.

That’s where I need my partner in crime, my go-to guy, my personal super hero who can do anything!

My biggest weakness is not seeing things through to the finish. That’s where I need my partner the most. I need him to remind me why I’m doing what I’m doing. Why I push so hard and why I took the jump in the first place.

This is going to be a journey. I’m not going to succeed right away and I’m going to get knocked down. The bonus I have is someone who will help build me back up, it’s just knowing how to that’s going to be so important.

I can only do this with him by my side, for he is my why.
