Unrelenting determination is the key to achieving goals. I didn’t get out of debt until I really had enough — and determined that I was going to get out of debt no matter what.

I wasn’t going to let anything stop me: no setbacks, no worrying about what other people thought, no frustration about my infinitesimal progress, no nothing. I was going to get there. It took a long time, but I finally did it.

And the thing is, once you do the first hard thing, other goals become easier because you know for a fact that you can do it. Somehow there’s a big difference between knowing that something is possible in theory because other people have done it, and knowing that you’re able to do it yourself.

You have the confidence it takes, along with the know-how and experience with what worked for you and what areas might be a weakness. Once you achieve one goal, you can apply that unrelenting determination to the next big thing on your list.
