—I want to learn to speak Spanish fluently by 2025
—I want to change my career in the next year

But we forget a key question.
—What will it cost me (emotionally, relationally, financially, physically) if I do nothing?

Put some emotion using these two questions and make your projects successful.
—What will it cost me if I do nothing? (pain)
—Imagine that you have achieved your goal. What do you see, hear, and feel? (pleasure)
Pain and pleasure used with intent can take you very far. Take one of your projects and test it now…
