All of the above Answers: 1.
(b) Accomplishing a goal will become more concrete when you tell one friend that is supportive.
There is no need to tell everyone that will listen; it's a gateway for negativity or distractions.
2.
(c) Consistency is the quickest way to instantly gratify any habits you need to change in order to attain your goals.
Try not to focus on things that you don't like about yourself.
Always approach things with a "can do" attitude.
An "all or nothing" attitude will set you up for defeat.
You can do this, just be consistent.

(d) Dreams are not the same thing as goals.
A goal can be identified and accomplished while dreams may sometimes seem lofty and unattainable without a clear plan for what to do, and how you'll do it.
4.
(d) You need to have a clear plan for creating your goals.
In the face of adversity, a plan to overcome obstacles will help you stay on course.
Your end goal will be more easily accomplished when you clearly define the steps to get there and the expenses and time involved along the way.
The key to double your income is setting goals that you can clearly define and accomplish.
If your goals seem vague or obscure, you are setting yourself up for defeat.
Instead of thinking of why you can't do something, ask yourself what you can do.
What is stopping you? Try to remain positive and know how much time, money, and energy it will take to accomplish your goal.
If you want to double your income and you aren't sure where to start, take responsibility for yourself and step up to the plate.
Get rid of negative attitudes and write down a clear goal that you can accomplish within a certain amount of time.
Be consistent and keep taking it one step at a time.
