Goal Setting and Motivations

Goal Setting and motivations. Learning to set goals is a great way to be successful in whatever you want to achieve in life whether it be financial, fitness, diet, or what have you.

A study of Yale graduates found that only about 3% of students had planned out goals for their future. 20 years later, they found that those 3% of individuals had more wealth than all the other 97% of students COMBINED! Can you see how important goal setting and motivations are?

I like creating weekly goals. Sitting down at the beginning of the week (usually Sunday) I will plan out all of my goals for the week. I know on Thursdays and Fridays I have very concreate goals for my websites, which is to create new content for readers like you.

Having a schedule holds you accountable for your actions. Put the most important tasks at the top of your list for each day. You should have one ultimate goal to complete each day. You should not go to bed unless that goal is accomplished.

Take your goals seriously and make sure to reward yourself at the end of the week for accomplishing them all. This will help keep you motivated to continue working on whatever it is that you need to complete.

Goal setting and finding motivation are not easy, but they work together. By setting goals and accomplishing them, you motivate yourself to complete even bigger and better goals.

If you are interested in setting goals and learning how to go about the process I recommend picking up either of ther following books, The Magic Lamp: Goal Setting for People Who Hate Setting Goals or Goal Setting: How to Create an Action Plan and Achieve Your Goals. Both books offer great strategies in how to go about taking goal setting seriously and get yourself motivated.

What are you waiting for? Take control of your life now!
