I always succeeded by having many small goals that all worked towards one larger goal. Break everything down into little, incremental things

Still a lot of work, and most people don't want to do it. It's easier to simply go along with everyone else, don't stand out, don't be different, don't work on yourself.
 
 Exactly.  Small steps.  If you've got something that seems insurmountable don't look up at where you're heading.  That can feel overwhelming.  Look down at the ground in front of you. If you have to look anywhere else, look at the distance you've already come. One step at a time.  By the time you know it, you're cresting the top of the mountain and you've achieved success.
