I'm just a wanna-be --- Practical Ideas on changing everyday life?

[Scott N.]

So I've realized that I am one of "those people". 

Lazy.

 Motivated but I don't follow through. Disorganized, so my life is full of crises that show up due to my poor planning. Self-important, so I have a hard time delegating. blah blah blah, the list goes on.

I sit around, read the internet, dream big things....AND NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I have a wife and a young baby, a blue-collar hourly job that exhausts me every day, and live paycheck to paycheck.I have the "POTENTIAL" to do huge things.... but I don't. I am determined to change this.

Anyone have any practical (non-philosophical) ideas on successful ways to make small, incremental changes to create a pattern of success-inducing behavior?

I have thought, read, listened, dreamed, been tutorial'ed to death over the past two years, my mindset is that of a wealthy person but my actions and habits are those of a poor person.

I have made a commitment to make small, everyday corrections to my behaviors to turn them into habits that will help me become financially free (passive income from real estate and/or business).

I am just starting to take 10 minutes at the beginning and end of each day to keep track of our personal finances, and to make sure that I am thinking "REAL ESTATE" at the beginning of every day, and hopefully throughout each day.

Anyone have other ideas on small, repeatable, effective actions that I can gradually add on a daily basis to change my daily habits and actions? I know it will take time, but hopefully this will be the first post of a long success story. The way to change my life is 5 minutes at a time.

Many thanks in advance,

Scott
