“You have to figure out how am I going to measure when I’ve attained that goal whatever it might be,” said Times.

And one of the most important rules, find support.

“Having someone that you can pick up the phone and say hey I’m really blowing it, I need you to talk me off the edge or whatever the case might be, it’s very helpful to have some one to hold you accountable to be there for you,” said Times.
