I have goals that I strive to reach every day when I get home from work. Since I only have a few hours after getting my family situated each night I do not make my list any bigger than I can accomplish so I do not set myself up for failure.
The best part of the motiviation though, is an online friend who is at the same level as I, and we both hook up each night and tackle new techniques that we have both picked up along our journeys.
This has has been a true blessing and a very positive influence for furthering my goals towards success
