Part of being successful is reviewing your actions and seeing how these actions are being effective in moving you towards your goals. When doing this review try and be objective.
I recently was given some straight forward advice from a financially successful person. The advice is to spend the minimum amount of time to develop a product that can be sold and then to put the vast majority of your effort into selling the product.
This adviser said that many people that struggle financially, especially the ones that have studied success principals, work hard and still stuggle financially spend much too much time trying to improve their product. He said that he often sees people improving the quality or content of their website, or trying to make some product a little smaller, faster, lighter or in some way improved. People may even spend time going to school and learning new skills.
This financial mentor suggested that if these people would take most of the time they are spending improving the product and instead us it to sell their existing product, they would probably be doing much better. Of course, improving the product, even if the product is ourselves, is important, though even more important for financial success is to find people that are willing to spend money on our product.
So during your review sessions, try and honestly evaluate if your actions are getting you closer to your goals or if you should possibly try a different approach. This new approach may be quite uncomfortable, and much less fun that what we have been doing. This is where it is important for us to not necessarily do what feels right and instead try and find out what is the right thing to do and do it no matter how it feels. I am not advising you to do something that goes against your morals, I'm just suggesting doing something that is uncomfortable because it is outside what you normally like to do.
One way to change your feelings towards a particular activity is to do it enough times. It has been suggested to me that 100 times of performing almost any activity is enough to dramatically change your feelings towards that activity.
So, using your best information at this time, try and determine what is a successful action you can take towards your goal, and if that action feels uncomfortable, just do that action 100 times and then see how you feel. How it was told to me is "Do the right thing 100 times and it will feel right."
