Set aside time for "big picture" thinking....

Basic blueprint for sucess:

1. Write down your ideal scene, set five years in the future.
2. Write down your goals (extracted from ideal scene).
3. Turn your goals into positive, personal, present-tense affirmations.
4. Deal with doubts and fears effectively.
5. Write simple plans for your goals on paper.
6. Take the most obvious first action right in front of you, and keep going from there.
