Any worthwhile, challenging goal requires sustained effort. Doing things necessary for a day or two isn't hard. Where most people fall down is in stringing those days together and thereby creating progress, momentum, and ultimately, successful accomplishment.

What follows are ten ways to maintain your focus, your energy and your optimism while pursuing your goal. They've worked for me and they'll work for you. When I've employed all of these components, I've never failed to achieve my intention.

1. Have Powerful Reasons. With a strong enough reason you can and will find how and wherewithal to achieve your reward. Reasons plus belief keep you motivated. When you're excited about your goal, it doesn't seem like work. If you're not excited, your efforts will require more discipline and energy. Make sure it's YOUR goal. Make sure it excites you. And then act enthusiastically.

2. Write Your Objectives Down. This is a critical step. Don't think it, ink it. When you write your goals down, they appear not only on paper, but they become indelibly written upon your consciousness.

3. Visualize. "See" your objective already in existence. Nothing can withstand power of a clear, multi-sensory vision of what you are intending. What does it look like? What will people be saying about it? How will you feel? The more detailed and "real" you can make your vision, more powerful it will be. It will operate like a magnet and draw forth all kinds of things you never thought possible.

To keep up with changing landscape of Internet you must read. And best place to read about new developments on Internet is in Newsletters or Ezines.

But you may not be reading efficiently.

Did you know that most of us use only 4% to 10% of our mental abilities?

Speed reading is not just about reading faster; it's about learning to use much more of extraordinary powers of Mind.

When you read, are you aware of an inner voice that follows words as your eyes move across page or computer screen? This inner voice is called 'subvocalization'. You probably experience it as a slight movement in tongue or throat region. As long as you subvocalize, you limit your reading to speed of normal speech, to about 300 w.p.m.

The Mind is capable of thinking much faster than that. So when you subvocalize, you're literally holding back your mind. Try this exercise:

As you read, count to yourself, silently, from one to ten. Or, repeat sound 'Eee', 'Eee', 'Eee'. It will be impossible to do this at same time as subvocalizing, so this is an excellent way of breaking habit of subvocalization.

As you do this exercise, you'll become aware that you're no longer processing words in tongue hroat region but in an area called 'thought stream' that you experience in top of your head.

Thought stream moves much faster than subvocalization. And that's why people who subvocalize often have comprehension problems.

There's a mismatch between reading speed and thinking speed. The Mind is constantly racing ahead of inner voice and so it gets bored. You experience this as an inability to hold your attention on what you're reading. You have to back-skip words, or read same line twice.

As your reading speed catches up with your thinking speed, reading becomes much less tiring and your comprehension improves.

Once you've got a feeling for reading in 'thought stream', next thing to do is speed up your eye movements. This will also help break habit of subvocalization, since your eyes will be moving faster than you can possibly subvocalize.
