3. Eliminate excuses
Discipline yourself to persist independent of motivation. Do what need to be done whether you feel like it or not
4. Focus on goal achieving tasks

?
5. Follow good leaders
Study and adopt the positive attitudes, behaviors and strategies used by highly successful people rather than following the herd.
