On other hand some people have a few goes and then they give up as well not knowing that had they persevered just a bit longer they would have attained success they sought, but sad thing is that they will never know because they did not persevere long enough to find out!
As an entrepreneur myself I’ve found it hard to keep on going when things are not going so well. I try to use system below to help me stay motivated and focused and achieve my goals.
1.Write down your goals clarifying exactly what you want to achieve and also why you want goals and how you and others will benefit from it.
2.Focus on your goals daily. Read your goals to yourself first thing in morning when you wake up and last thing at night.
3.Stay motivated by developing support systems. You can cultivate friendship of positive, encouraging people who support your goals and always celebrate your achievements.
4.Select other sources like motivational books, articles or motivational quotes which have uplifting themes. I have a personal quote which I read every day and which I keep with me all time so that when I am feeling down I take it out and read it to myself and almost immediately I feel ready to take on world.
5.Practice Visualisation. Imagine yourself living your goal. Visualise your desired outcome firmly in your mind. See, smell, touch and hear aspects of your goal. Each morning upon rising, review your goal. Repeat process at night. This helps you focus on goals and helps remind you of why you want to achieve goals.
6.Persist. Focus on your goals daily. With every defeat or hurdles you encounter you’re closer to attaining success. If you learn from your set-backs and stay on course, success will surely follow. Every day, at regular intervals, review whether and how your activities are helping.
7.Believe in yourself and that you’ll achieve your goal. Then keep on going until you get there. When your mind, emotions and activities focus on your goal, you can achieve extraordinary. Really.
