How to put this into practice?

We put this into practice by setting intelligent goals and then seeing them through. To set a goal simply
follow these steps.

1. Start with the ending. What result are you looking for? What do you want?

2. Ask yourself whether the goal that is required to reach that result is SMART.

Goals that do not meet these criteria cannot succeed.

3. Record your goal. Be as detailed as you need to be so that you can do the next step.
