Natures - Have the Pokemon with the nature you want hold an Everstone. They will pass down the nature to the child 100% of the time. If you don't have the right nature, find someone in the same egg group as the Pokemon you want with the right nature. Ditto works too.
Hidden Abilities - Females have more of a chance to pass down their ability to the child than males. I believe if both the parents are the same species and have the ability you want, the chance is even higher.
Egg Moves - What you can do is search for what Pokemon have the egg move you want and check to see which ones are in the same egg group. Some moves are simple to breed down as they can be learned by leveling up. Others have to be chain bred onto it.
IVs - When breeding, 3 out of 12 IVs will be passed down to the child, and the other 3 will be randomized between 0-32. When using the Destiny Knot, 5 out of 12 IVs will be passed down to the child, and the last one will be randomized between 0-32. It helps to have a 6 IV ditto as you only have to worry about the other parent's IVs. Even if you don't have a 6 IV ditto, you always want to replace the parents when you get a child with better IVs. That way, you can breed to your dream 5 or 6 IV Pokemon.
Shiny Breeding - When breeding for shiny Pokemon, the best way to do this is breeding with two 6 IV parents, both having the nature/ability/egg moves you want. Have one hold the Destiny Knot and the other an Everstone. That way, you'll always get at least 5 IVs in the child no matter what.

The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long.
