1) Set a major goal but break it into smaller mini-goals that lead to the overall goal. Successfully achieving mini-goals will motivate you to tackle larger goals. 2) Develop the habit of finishing what you start. Quitting is also a habit, so see projects through to completion. 3) Socialize with others who have similar interests to you. The attitudes and mindsets of your closest friends will influence you, so surround yourself with driven people.
