For example, if you are building a website, set yourself the goal of creating three new pages per day, or adding ten new newspaper subscribers to your list. If you're a network marketer, talk to ten new people each day about your business. If you sell a service, gather five new leads each day. If you own a store, find one new way to increase the traffic and visitors into your store each day.
