10 Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation - part 1

One of the most common questions I get asked, as a Success Coach, is "How can I motivate myself?"

When you're stuck, it's quite difficult to work it out. It's confusing and seems hard. But, there's hope...

As the New Year approaches, your motivation begins to stir - there's hope in the New Year, and the opportunity to start afresh. Hope by itself is not enough though, you must have a method.

I wrote a little article on this, and called it '10 Surefire Ways to Supercharge Your Self Motivation'.

Here's the first of those ten:

1. Put Your Goals on Paper

Articulate on paper the specific goals you wish to achieve in life, both long term and short term.  Be precise.  Laser like focus is the distinguishing characteristic of super-successful people.  Pinpoint exactly what you plan to achieve in all of the major areas of your life.

Remember that a tiny magnifying glass can ignite a huge firestorm by concentrating the rays of the sun on one spot, and that you can start your fire by concentrating all of your energies on one purpose.  You may know in your mind what you want to accomplish, but until you put it in writing, it is only a vague wish list.

It is critical that you take the time to articulate your goals on paper.

Only a tiny fraction of the population has written goals.  And only a tiny fraction of the people become truly successful.  Not surprisingly, they are generally the same group.  If you haven't set out on paper your important life's goals, do it now.
