It really is simple.  The absolute first thing you have to do is DESIRE it!  You have to want it!  Second, you put together a group of people who can mentor and encourage you (hint: if you are reading this, you have already found the place).  If you have read any Napoleon Hill, you recognize these two steps.

Next, you have to become a trader.  A trader?  Why?  A trader is one who trades value for value.  A trader does not trade value for non-value.  What is value?  Something that has worth to you.  What is non-value?  Something which does not assist you in fulfilling your purpose (in this case to lose weight, get fit, gain mass, etc).  When it comes to nutrition, you must weigh each food choice as to whether you are willing to trade your goal for that food.  Are six pack abs more valuable to you than cheesecake?  If so, then no trade is made, and the cheesecake is left for someone who values it’s temporary satisfaction more than their body. Trade cardio for couch time?  If you value your goal, you will make the trade.  (Anyone recognize any objectivism here?)

Next, YOU must constantly remind yourself that destiny is not a chance, but a choice.  It is not something to be waited on and hoped for, but to be acted upon.  If you sit around waiting for destiny to act upon you, chances are you have just arrived at your destiny!  Congrats!  Your destiny is to sit around and wait, while you could be making progress towards your goal.  YOU must become a person of ACTION!  And everyone knows that ACTIONS speak louder than words.

Finally, YOU must envision your goal as though you have already achieved it.  No, not daydreaming, but right before you fall asleep, imagine how you will look, how you will feel, imagine it as if it is already yours!  Your subconcious will begin to act in a matter consistent with your belief.  You will be putting yourself almost on automatic pilot, though choices must be made and thought and care put into those choices.

Oh, yeah… there’s a lot of sweat and pain too.
