Commitment

Commitment
Before you can even get started studying, the first thing you have to do is make a real commitment to getting better.
I have been to many seminars by professional motivators and sales experts; names like Tony Robbins, Zig Ziegler, Brian Tracy, etc. I have studied many of the top motivators on TV and bought the tapes and completed the training programs for many, many more programs. Every single one of them share the same theme: If you are really serious about a goal, it must be written down. If its not written down, then you are just kidding yourself.
So outline a realistic schedule of the time that you can study, and then stick to it. Write it down on a big piece of poster-board, and hang it on the wall. Look at it daily.
After you have decided what and when you need to study, the next thing is to Train on a Regular Basis. If you are really serious about getting better, nothing should come between you and your studies!!
Be Very Systematic
I personally feel it is better to study a little, (say 30 minutes a day); on a regular basis than to study, say, all day only once a month
