I believe this varies, sometimes Rewards would be Unrealistic for others, but from your point of view, it is Realistic, you are aiming a huge goal maybe?! am I right? Many thanks for this great article, by the way I've just saw that you were a Java Software Engineer, and I'm a Ruby Software Engineer :), and you are entrepreneur and my goal is there :), world is small man.

I would not be able to succeed if I let it pass. Con Hi Dave, I like your 10 steps, but you misspelled “realize” and “recognize” and it is driving me crazy.

If you haven’t read that post, take a moment to do so. One of the more important R’s is Review which describes the importance of looking back on how successful you have been with your goals and what you’ve managed to accomplish. If things aren’t working out or the results weren’t as expected, then adjust your approach. Looking back at all the things you’ve managed to get done in the early mornings is a great motivator to keep you going. [...] [...] I’ve written about the 10 R’s to success before.

I think though sometimes one has to find the courage to say "No". It isn't an admission of failure or inability to copy with pressure, it is actually more of a sign that you understand what you're capable of doing and not doing given the current circumstances. Being able to say "No" tells me that someone understands their current commitments and their ability to deliver. If you can't say so, at some point all your other commitments can be jeopardised as a result of you working too hard and trying to do too much. So, set aside some time with your boss and co-workers. Discuss openly your concerns. If you can't cope, just say so. If you don't people might assume you can cope and keep asking for more. Good luck. I wish you all the best. dave Vick,
