10 Terrific Self Motivating Tips


No one can motivate anyone to do anything. All a person can do for another is
provide them with incentives to motivate themselves. Here are ten very effective
strategies to help you get up and get moving toward actualizing your enormous,
untapped potential.

* Be willing to leave your comfort zone. The greatest barrier to achieving your
potential is your comfort zone. Great things happen when you make friends with your discomfort zone.

* Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Wisdom helps us avoid making mistakes and comes from making a million of them.

* Don’t indulge in self-limiting thinking. Think empowering, expansive thoughts.

*Choose to be happy. Happy people are easily motivated. Happiness is your
birthright so don’t settle for anything else.

* Spend at least one hour a day in self-development. Read good books or listen to inspiring tapes. Driving to and from work provides an excellent opportunity to listen to self-improvement tapes.

* Train yourself to finish what you start. So many of us become scattered as we
try to accomplish a task. Finish one task before you begin another.

* Live fully in the present moment. When you live in the past or the future you
aren’t able to make things happen in the present.

* Commit yourself to joy. C.S. Lewis once said, “Joy is the serious business of
heaven.”

* Never quit when you experience a setback or frustration. Success could be just
around the corner.

* Dare to dream big dreams. If there is anything to the law of expectation then we are moving in the direction of our dreams, goals and expectations.
The real tragedy in life is not in how much we suffer, but rather in how much we
miss, so don’t miss a thing.

Charles Dubois once said, “We must be prepared, at any moment, to sacrifice who we are for who we are capable of becoming.”

The Top 10 Steps to Set and Achieve Your Goals – Every Time!



It’s been said that everyone has goals, whether we know it or not. We have goals to keep our current job, or to get a different one. We have goals to save for the future, or to travel, take a vacation, or purchase the things we need and want to make our lives more enjoyable. An important distinction, however, is that top achievers are very intentional and focused on their goals, while many of the rest of us are not.

Top achievers know that the wording, structure, timing and format of a goal can make it’s achievement much easier – or far more difficult. Top achievers understand the basic skills for setting and reaching their goals, every time! They know how to design goals that create success. Here are the 10 most important steps to set and achieve your goals:

1. Reachable goals are SPECIFIC. 


Top achievers know that to reach their goals, the brain must know exactly, precisely, what they are trying to accomplish. Never word a goal with vague terms like “some” or “a little bit”, or “more”. Be specific! If you want to lose 8 pounds and reach a weight of 175, specify those exact numbers. If you want to save $200 this month, be exact. Your brain can help you accomplish almost anything if it knows precisely what you are aiming for.

2. Reachable goals are SIMPLE. 


Many people describe their goals in complex terms of retiring on the beach in Hawaii, with nice cars and lots of money, and…. Their list goes on and on. Any ONE of those things is a great goal, but the combination becomes over whelming and the brain gets confused. If you want to retire in Hawaii, just say so! If you want to increase your sales by 10% this month, say so! Keep your goals simple, clear, and focused.


3. Reachable goals are SIGNIFICANT. 


No one can muster the enthusiasm, hard work and courage to reach a goal they don’t really care about. A reachable goal is one you really, really, REALLY want! It’s something that will change your life, enhance your health or wealth, and make you proud. It gets your juices flowing, gets you up in the morning, and keeps you going all day long, because it is important! Set goals that are worth achieving!

4. Reachable goals are STRATEGIC. 


High achievers know that the best goals accomplish many great outcomes, all at one time. Running a 10K race will almost certainly: 1) feel great! 2) help you lose weight. 3) lower your cholesterol level 4) strengthen your heart 5) lower you risk of heart disease 6) increase your energy and stamina, and 7) improve your outlook. Design your goals to strategically impact as many areas of your life as possible. You’ll have more reasons to reach your goal and more excitement when you do!

5. Reachable goals are MEASURABLE. 


A goal without a measurable outcome is just a pipe-dream. You can’t achieve a pound of “happiness” or 6 inches of “self-esteem”, but you CAN get a new job. You CAN run a mile in under 7 minutes, or do 100 sit-ups. Someone has wisely observed that, “What gets measured, gets done.” Define your goals in terms of height, weight, dollars, inches, or hours. Then measure your progress until you achieve your desired outcome.


6. Reachable goals are RATIONAL. 


To reach your goal, you will need a plan, a path, and a vehicle for getting there. Your goals must make sense! When you explain them to friends and family, your goals should create excitement, draw support, and encouragement. Your goals should be just out of reach, but not out of sight! You want to stretch to be your best, not strain after impossible dreams. Set goals you CAN and WILL achieve!

7. Reachable goals are TANGIBLE. 


Choose goals that you can see, hear, smell or touch. Go for things you will enjoy and that you can clearly visualize. The brain has hard time going for “financial security”, but it can visualize a bank statement with nice, large numbers on it! Define your goals in terms that excite the senses, then go for it with all your heart!


8. Reachable goals are WRITTEN. 


High achievers always know precisely what they want, because they’ve written it down. Often, they write a short description of their goals every single morning, as a personal reminder of their priorities and their objectives. The act of writing your goals down vastly increases your chance of success. Write it down! Then, keep your notes where you can see and read them every day.


9. Reachable goals are SHARED. 


We are far more likely to stick to our plan and reach our goals if we know our friends and family support us. Being part of a team increases our determination, our stamina, and our courage. Caution: Never share your goals with anyone who may ridicule, tease or discourage you! The world is full of doubters and you have no time for them. But, find a support team, a group of cheerleaders, and a coach who will encourage you every step of the way. High achievers count on and work with other winners!


10. Reachable goals are CONSISTENT WITH YOUR VALUES. 


One of the biggest reasons people fail to achieve their goals is that they have conflict between their behavior and their values. However, when your values and your goals are in agreement, there is no stopping you! Clarify your values first, then set simple, specific, measurable, tangible, written goals that are consistent with those values. You will achieve them, every single time!

Goal Setting for Business and Personal Life



Why is goal setting important?
Goal setting helps you get ahead at work, have a rewarding personal life, be more successful than you ever were before and best of all, make more money.
Don't believe it?
Well, Researchers polled a group of graduates from Harvard Business School in 1979, and 20 years later, found out how they had fared in life.
* 3% set goals and had the goals written down in 1979, when the study was done, and 97% hadn't.
Twenty (20!) years later, the 3% was way better off in life - healthier, happier and reached all their financial goals. Indeed, they were at last twice as rich as their peers who hadn't written down the goals.
That's too much of a co-incidence, don't you think?
Yes, certainly goal setting helps achieve success at work and career.
Let's talk about goal setting in more detail.
The SMART Way to Set Goals
While setting goals, it's important to have a "Vision" in mind and to work towards that vision. The way to do this is to envision where you'd like to be and what you'd like to achieve in, say, 5 or 10 years time. Write it all down, and to work backwards, think about all that you'll have to do to make your goals come true.
Create a "big picture" of what you would want out of your life in 10 or 15 years from now, where you would want to be. Narrow down on a single long term goal.
Now, working your way backwards, break the BIG goal into a number of smaller goals and smaller targets - back to where you are at right now. You will reach little mile stones this way, and you'll be able to reach your final goal with more ease. Formulate a plan and work your way towards that plan, and start the process through which you'll be able to reach the larger goal in mind.
Work Backwards
First, write down the BIG goal for, say in 10 years. Jot down a line on a piece of paper, write on the left where you are now, and your big goal at the end of the line to the right. Then mark it with 5 smaller segments on that line, and write down your stepping stones with the targets for 5 years, 3 years, 1 year, 6 months... and set about achieving them.
A great way to set goals is to use the SMART strategy, which is quite self-explanatory, and should be of a great help to you.
SMART stands for goals that are:
  • S - Specific (or Significant).
  • M - Measurable (or Meaningful).
  • A - Attainable (or Action-Oriented).
  • R - Relevant (or Rewarding).
  • T - Time-bound (or Track-able).
Keep this strategy in mind when setting goals.
What Should You Keep in Mind While Setting Goals?
While setting goals, it's important to set them, keeping the work-life balance in perspective. It's important to achieve the right balance between your personal life and your work or business, both need their own space, neither should make the other less important.
Here are some of the questions you should ask yourself while setting your goals, about the areas that need to be covered. We suggest setting goals with a 5 and 10-year perspective.
  • Career - Where do you want to get to in your career? What would a successful career mean to you? Which position do you see yourself 10 years from now?
  • Financial - How much do you want to be worth 10 years from now? How much income do you expect to earn by then? What about assets and net worth?
  • Education - What are the skills, degrees or courses you will want to pick up over the time frame of 10 years or lesser?
  • Family - Do you see yourself married in 10 years? Do you see yourself as a parent? How many kids do you plan on having in 10 years time?
  • Artistic - Do you have any artistic goals in mind?
  • Attitude - Is there anything that is holding you back, a bad temper, social anxiety, or a lack of confidence? How do you bring a change in your attitude and behavior? Do you see yourself as a new improved person in 10 years?
  • Physical - What are your fitness goals in 10 years? What's your ideal weight? Can you stick to your fitness goals and maintain your health for the next 10 years? How do you do that?
  • Fun & Leisure - How do you plan on having fun in a healthy way over the next 10 years?
  • Public Service - How can you help make your community, country and the world a better place? Have you, for instance, considered going to Africa and serving the people there? If so, how do you plan on doing that, and which organization do you plan on joining?
Work on these ideas and be as systematic as possible with your goal setting. Be explicit, and detail oriented, but don't get lost in the goal setting itself.
Execution of the goals is more important than merely planning them.If you are spiritual like myself, you will see the Universe will hand you a whole lot more to make it to your goal.
