Taking it one step at a time

It's a lazy Saturday noon here now, and I thought it's time to start doing some real work now.
On the road to achieving anything in life, you set goals. Yes, even if you are not actually aware they exist. Goals can almost always be divided into two types - Ultimate Goals and Milestone Goals. In our field of interest, Ultimate Goals can be things like "Getting an amazing girlfriend", "Getting same night lays whenever I want" or "Having a threesome with two Hollywood movie stars" - they are what you ultimately want to get. Milestone Goals are smaller goals you need to fulfill to accomplish your Ultimate Goals - from the simplest "Holding eye contact" to "Consistently start and maintain a conversation" to "Getting phone numbers that don't flake" to "Tell a 50 minute story that really says nothing and have the whole group totally captivated" to whatever else you want... Milestone Goals are also handling your sticking points when you encounter them, for example if you seem to open a conversation great but it always seem to go stale afterwards your next Milestone Goal is to handle it.

So now think of some of the things you ultimately want to achieve. If you have just one goal, that's perfectly fine.
WRITE IT DOWN.
Make a commitment to yourself that you're going to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to reach that.

After you write it down, think of what you need to do in order to get there. Remember the small things, and remember the small things, and remember that unless you decide to show it, this list is completely private, so feel free to write down even the more embarrassing stuff.
Set being able to do those things as your Milestone Goals, and order them by both a logical order of time (starting a conversation before having threesomes) and by order of difficulty (getting a phone # in 20 minutes is easier then getting a make-out in 20 minutes).

Now your have a practice plan. Keep it safe, and push your limits as far as it takes to accomplish them.

Until we meet again,
