I think one of the trickiest moves from 'having a desire to do something extraordinary' to accomplishing that goal is the jump from 'What You Are' to 'What You Want To Be'.
Anyone can relate to wanting to lose weight but not able to give up the vices that created the thought process to begin with. Its hard to feel like you're making any effort when you can't put down the fast food, can't stop the late night mindless snacking. Furthermore, who hasn't made the pledge to wake up early on Monday and when the watch alarm went off, rolled over for more sleep.
Its easier to make this conversion when you have a coach or mentor who closes the gap between reality and your burning desire. If you have a coach, chances are you make a financial investment to them and that sacrifice is a tremendous impetuous to spur action. You don't want to waste your money.
It can still be done without investment into a coach if there is an investment in education and a peer network of accountability. When you tell everyone you know what your burning desire is, it creates an internal mechanism that hardens resolve. When people ask you how your doing with your goal, you are more likely to stick to the steps when no one is looking.

good schtuff.
I couldn't agree with you any more. That accountability is exactly what blogging has been for me!
