1. Commitment
Whatever you are trying to achieve, whether that is running your first marathon or earning an additional $20,000, realize that you will have to pay for it in the form of time, effort, pain, and sacrifices.
The bigger the goal, the greater sacrifice is necessary.

2. Planning is the key
No matter whether you are preparing for a new project at work or your first marathon, repetition is key.
The more you practice something, the better you get at it.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”
Never make that mistake.

3. Win in the MIND
Before you set foot on the battleground, know in your mind that you will win.
Develop the belief in yourself and your abilities that you can succeed at whatever challenges life may throw at you.
“Success comes from knowing that you did your best."

4. Break down big tasks into smaller ones.
Sun Tzu talks about directing whole armies of over 100,000 men.
How on earth could you do that in an era without internet and mass communication technologies?
"When making plans, think big. When making progress, think small."

5. Be flexible in your methods, but not your results.
It is necessary that you are able to adapt to circumstances that prevent you from doing the things you planned on doing.
Never give up on your goal simply because it got harder, but instead ask yourself: How can I use this?

6. If you want to take the island, burn boats!
If you have a big dream in your life, burn the friggin boats!
Destroy every possible excuse and make success the only option there is — only then will you enjoy the kind of success you are capable of.
“It´s not over until I win!”
