Step 1
Make a list of goals every single day. Even if you anticipate a slow day, it's still a good idea to set goals for yourself. The sooner you get into the habit of setting daily goals, the sooner you'll get into the habit of meeting them.
-
Step 2
Keep your daily goal lists in one place. You can use a spiral notebook, a personal organizer or your computer's calendar program. Keeping your goals in one place allows you to look over the lists from days and weeks gone by, which makes it easy for you to see how consistently you're meeting your goals.

Step 3
Be realistic about your daily goals. A goal like "Make $2,000 before 5 p.m." is vague and unrealistic, but a goal like "Network with four clients" is totally attainable--and just might help you work toward that $2,000.
-
Step 4
Envision your daily goals as the "building blocks" of your weekly and monthly goals. For example, if you want to send marketing material to ten prospective clients by the end of the week, make it your goal to send material to two prospective clients per workday.
