You could say there are 2 major steps to achieving a difficult goal:
1) Figure out WHAT to do
2) Then DO IT!
Too often people fail because they have bad advice, failed to plan, or didn’t take time to learn from experts how to efficiently achieve their goal. About.com has a lot of great info for succeeding in a lot of different areas of life.
