There are a lot of systems out there that explain how to get your goals, however it is WAY simpler than you might think.
The simple way to keep a goal is to write it on your calendar. That's it.
Putting this on your calendar in a way that you see it often and know it's coming will keep your mind on it and significantly improve your success rate. The act of putting it to words is another huge factor in getting things done since acts as a commitment.
Still having trouble getting those goals done? Add an external dependency to your target date. What I mean by that is think of a person or event that will reply on you to have part of all of your goal done.
If you are looking to lose weight, get a personal trainer (ones at the gym aren't too expensive) and work out with them. This prevents you from canceling because you feel they depend on you to be there.
If you are looking to create the most amazing training product for your small business? Set a date with a videographer and since they depend on you to be there and ready to shoot on the day you've scheduled 3 weeks from now, you'll be ready.
A few other things that I do that might not be totally obvious are; write the date and what it is on your bathroom mirror, put a widget reminder on your cellphone.
I use the Days Left widget on my Android home screen. It counts down to my next goal date for me. I see it EVERY TIME I use my cellphone.
So set a date and get motivated.
