Are you defining the meanings properly? For example, rather than "I want X" it should be "I have X" or "X happens", something like that. Performing with want/desire would give you exactly that, the want/desire for the result, rather than the result itself. You then need to do your best not to think about it anymore as that can interfere with the original act.
Also, make sure things are present tense, not future tense, otherwise it will always be in the future and you will never actually achieve the result, so "I have" rather than "I will have".
If you're just starting out, it may be best to start with results that you aren't too emotionally invested in, that way you can build confidence and then you won't always be anxious and wondering if it worked, which, going back to the first point, would stop it from working.
Good luck.
