Goals and plans won't do you any good unless you take some action. It's easier than it sounds. Procrastination the source of which may be fear of failure, or even fear of success, stops many people from taking action.
Procrastination is the greatest obstacle to success.
The first step is to develop a goal and a plan. Take aim at the excuses you have given yourself and others for not getting your work done. Tell yourself the reasons why you can instead of why you can't.
