Greg Brookes is a London-based personal trainer.

STEP 1. Divide the year up into Quarters

Just like they do in the financial world. Quarter 1 runs from Jan 1st to March 31st

STEP 2. Set ONE very important goal for that Quarter

Be realistic and specific. Get 10 new clients, launch your website, build and launch your fist fitness app etc.

STEP 3. Divide Quarter 1 into between 5 and 10 logical milestones

If your goal is 10 clients then your fist milestone may be to research where your potential clients hang out, what they read, where they shop, eat, drink coffee, what Online forums they vist etc..

STEP 4. Focus on one milestone at a time until completed.

Do not get distracted. Do not read blogs about other stuff, watch irrelevant YouTube videos or get information overload. Devote all your important energy to achieving each milestone.

STEP 5. Enjoy each small “win”

Enjoy each small win of achieving each milestone safe in the knowledge that all of your milestones add up to you BIG first Quarter goal. It basically comes down to focus and achieving regular small wins. Once you have completed Quarter 1’s goal then set goals for Quarter 2 and so on.
