It happens to all of us – you’re making progress on a project, learning something new, or perhaps keeping with exercise or a diet, and then things start to go sideways. Your motivation gradually fades as the year progresses until your progress has come to a halt and then goals have been shelved. With autumn looming, now is the time to reassess your goals and ensure you’re taking the necessary steps to create good discipline habits that will allow you to succeed. Be they business or pleasure, persistence is the most important quality. After all, all your hard work to date will have been for nothing if you quit now!
