Insight #4 for Effective Goal Setting

from The Accountability Minute:Business Acceleration|Productivity · host Anne Bachrach

Today we are talking about insight #4 of the 4 insights for goal setting, which is to Increase Your Motivation. Finally, motivation matters! Mindtools describes the power of setting goals as having “long-term vision and short-term motivation”. While this is the case for many goals, it’s worth aspiring toward goals that build your motivation—from start to finish.  Achieving your goals doesn’t necessarily have to be hard, but it can be challenging for any number of reasons. If you don’t have enough fire, passion, and desire to achieve a goal, the process is likely going to be a lot harder than it has to be. Committing to goals you don’t really want serves little purpose. Stick to goals that you want bad enough that the decision to do what you need to do, in order to achieve it, is easy or easier. Create goals you desire with your heart, guts, and soul - those goals that inspire you to do the work required. These types of goals will get you excited and motivate you to achieving them. As you refine your goal setting, it will become easier and easier. Plus, you’ll gain a sense of accomplishment with each step toward your goal. The stability that comes from quality goal setting allows your North Star to stay front and center.  Do you find yourself constantly procrastinating, even though you know you have important tasks to complete?
