met?• Why? Why is this important? What specifically is the benefit of
achieving this goal?

you will know that you attained your goalExampleMeasurable Goal• If you have a measure for the entire project, as in our example
above of reaching 750 customers, then you can also determine how much of your daily work load should be dedicated to achieving the goal

locate or learn?• Have I prioritized this new goal with existing goals?

What do you want to achieve?• Identify possible strategies (or) objectives to reach the goalMake a list of what you feel are the best and most effective ways of reaching the goals you have already identified.• Select the best strategiesSelect one strategy which will work for you from the list you made previously.
STEP TOWARDS SETTING EFFECTIVE GOALS• Outline specific plans to accomplish each strategyOnce you have narrowed down your strategy list, you can begin to make very detailed and specific plans to accomplish each strategy and ultimately reach your goal.Once we have a well-formed goal statement we need some direction to follow to achieve this goal.An unwritten want is a wish, a dream, A never happen. The day you put your goal in writing is the day it becomes a commitment that will change your life.
Are you ready?
Tom Hopkins
SETTING GOALS• Setting Goals is a means of identifying and plotting how you
are going to achieve your aims in life. By writing down your goals you are committing yourself to accomplishing them; therefore, make sure that your goals are important to you.
ACHIEVING A GOALS• Responsibility – Don’t blame anything• Hard work – Ready to work in any time• Character – Values, beliefs & personality of you• Persistence – Failing is also a step to success• Commitment – Winning edge• Learning – Life long process
Dependent people need others to get what they want. Independent people can get what they want through their own effort. Interdependent
people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS• People tend to satisfy their needs in a particular order.• Maslow called this order, “THE HIERARCHY OF NEEDS”
PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS• Survival (or) lower order needs• Include needs for food, clothes, sleep and shelter• In a good economy, these are rarely dominateThey include:• Air• Food• Water• Clothing• Shelter• Sexual Activity

SELF MOTIVATION

REASON WE LOSE MOTIVATION• There are three main reasons that people tend to lose
motivation from time to time. You can refer to these as ‘motivation killers.’ These are
1. Lack of confidence2. Lack of focus3. Lack of direction
What distinguishes the truly successful person from the average person is the ability to understand why you are feeling de-motivated, respond to that
reason, and then keep on moving forward
LACK OF CONFIDENCE
• Why would you continue to try to do something if you don’t believe that you can do it? You would only be setting yourself up for failure.
• This makes sense – it’s actually a form of self-protection when you think about it.
• You will need to boost your confidence level if you are going to regenerate your motivation and get back on track
LACK OF FOCUS
• You don’t know exactly what it is that you want, so why should you take action until you do? Or you might find yourself scattered across so many different goals that you are finding it difficult to complete any of them
• You may need to concentrate your efforts so that you can begin making achievements – even if they are small – which will encourage you to move on to the next goal and the next and so on
LACK OF DIRECTION
• If you know what you want and you believe that you can do it, but you just don’t know how to get started, you can get stopped instead of motivated
• But sometimes just staying in action can be important – even if you aren’t exactly sure which actions to take. The good news is that if you can educate yourself on the necessary steps, you should be able to restore your motivation
WHY SELF MOTIVATION IS IMPORTANT?• Self-motivation is extremely important when it comes to
accepting changes and opportunities in life• The force of self motivation helps in planning our life and
easing the difficulties
