1. Model Other Successful People
Some research and learn how other successful people started out.
They weren’t always successful but had to work their way up.
Seeing the success of people we admire is a great way to stay motivated.
Each one of them had to be 100% committed or they wouldn’t be where they are today.
Knowing that other people go through the same emotions and struggles, and learning what they did to get past those barriers, will help you out a lot.
Look at HOW they stay motivated.
You can even approach some of them via email or telephone and ASK them how they overcome difficulties.
When you see something that works, try it yourself.
Find out how others “made it” and do what they did.
2. Believe In Your Abilities
No matter what goal you set for yourself, it’s important to believe in yourself.
Remind myself that I am running a successful business that continues to rake in profit for me.
I say it to remind myself that I am successful, and I know what I am doing.
And it helps to bring my confidence back.
I BELIEVED IN MYSELF AND MY ABILITIES.
You must believe that whatever you want to achieve is something worthwhile and that you have the skills to achieve it.
There will be times when you will find yourself feeling completely stressed and second guessing your abilities.
3. Have a Purpose
You need a purpose, something that drives you.
You need something that is waiting at the end of the journey – at the completion of your project.
Keeping your objective in sight is much easier when you’re excited about your work and strive to succeed at your goals.
The great thing is that it’s never too late to get started.
Your purpose doesn’t have to something great to strive for.
It can be because you wanted to prove to the world and yourself that you can do something.
That’s something to focus on was well.
4. Organize Yourself
You must get organized and stay organized if you want to achieve any goal.
Each time you get ready to attempt a new task, ask yourself some very simple questions.
– What is the purpose of this task?
– How does this particular task contribute to my ultimate goal?
– What do I need to accomplish this task?
– How much time should I devote to this task?
– What must I do to tackle this task?
Once you’ve answered those questions honestly, you will have better focus to begin.
Invest in a good planner or organizer.
Trust me, it’s money well spent.
It is critical to your success simply because it helps you to stay on target and complete each task.
5. Understand Your Goals
If you want to get serious about achieving success, sit down and actually write a mission statement.
Identify why achieving a goal is important to you, what you expect to get out of it, and what results you want from it.
• Do you want to earn money?
• Do you want to experience a sense of accomplishment?
• Do you want recognition?
• Do you want fame or credibility?
• Do you want to be able to help others?
• Do you want ALL OF THE ABOVE?
• And more?
A mission statement will also help keep you grounded.
6. Write Objectives Down
If you don’t write your objectives down, you will quickly lose sight of them.
Keeping them as a visual will help you achieve them.
The most important objective is to identify WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE with your goal.
What is it that you want to gain once you have achieved your goal?
If you want to lose weight, how much have you managed to lose so far, if any?
If our actions and results are in keeping with your objectives, keep moving on.
If not, then what areas need fine tuning?
7. Create a Plan of Action
To help you achieve your goals and stay focused on the objectives, you should have a well laid out action plan.
This plan will cover the steps you need to take to get you from where you are currently, to the ultimate goal of where you want to be.
Try to set for yourself realistic, your goal for today might be to make 5 sales. Then try to make 10 sales. If you get 10 sales, then hooray!
It’s all in your mind. Keep your mind happy and feeling victorious.
