1/8 Inspiration
Inspiration is the key to a good performance
One of the greatest difficulties in reaching a goal, whether it is
financial profit, a training goal or changing a habit, is finding the
right mental attitude and inspiration to remain faithful to it
Inspiration is the key and the driving force behind all big
achievements and the source of the necessary energy and
persistence
Many athletes and managers set their goals so high that it takes
years to accomplish them

1/8 Inspiration
Even if their achievement isn't ensured they work hard for it
every day
People who don`t surrender when experiencing a setback and
who keep inspired like this for a long time have a much greater
chance to reach their goals and celebrate a big success
What can you learn from these performers and which strategy
can help you to find inspiration and reach a big goal?

Not feeling able to move forward?
One approaches to escape from a negative state of mind is
starting to appreciate yourself as a human and person
Concentrate on the positive things in your life
Make a mental rundown of your qualities, past triumphs, and
current preferences
We have a tendency to underestimate our qualities and over-
emphasise our disappointments

imagine your goal and move into the right direction. Your mind is
a very powerful tool and can change your reality as well as its
perception

envision investing the majority of that time and vitality into
something you weren't energetic about?

qualities and your preferences

months or years to come?

reminded of them frequently

you or on a memo which you keep at the refrigerator
Be creative and think about how you can get better and move
closer to your goal. Maintain your core interest in your goals

5/8 Self-Control
Reinforce your self-control
In their study, "Masters of the long haul: Pursuing long-term work
goals" (2012), the authors Thomas Bateman and Bruce Barry
stated that the ability to control your feelings is most vital to
accomplish long haul objectives

5/8 Self-Control
Self-control helps you going forward when you are not "in the
state of mind" to do the necessary or when you think you need
to quit
Self-control pushes you to continue onward, disregarding the
chances
Be generous to yourself and trust in your capacity to achieve
your objectives. Assume responsibility for your success

6/8 Prioritization
Set aside a few minutes to prioritize your tasks
To accomplish your long-term objectives you need to prioritize
your tasks. In this way you understand what to do next and
which tasks to assign or even quit doing
When you break down your tasks according to their importance,
you can save time for tasks that lead you to your goal

Next, figure out how to deal with the workload which is coming
up

Broaden your skills and know-how target-oriented to be able to
better cope with your tasks

viewing excessively long TV shows or surfing the Web

7/8 Focus
Stay focussed in the long run
What is the ability to pay attention on a specific thing or objective
for a certain time
Most people will find it more easy to concentrate on short-term
objectives, because results show up faster
Seeing results keeps your inspiration level high. It's considerably
harder to concentrate on objectives that may take months or
years to achieve because you make progress at a lower pace
16Jens Baltrusch, M.Sc. Sport Science, jens-baltrusch.com
17. Where does motivation come from?
7/8 Focus
Patience and persistance therefore are additional key skills to
achieve big goals
How often have you begun to follow a long-term objective, just to
discover a couple of weeks later that you've lost your focus on it
and that you have begun taking a shot at another objective?
If you want to be an achiever, stay persistent
If you have new ideas, take notes and sort them. Maybe you can
follow ideas which don`t suit your current target setting at a later
time. Make sure to stay on track

8/8 Acknowledgement
Acknowledge your progress
Keep track of little and big achievements along your way and
acknowledge them
This is important for a long-lasting motivation
Research has shown that its simpler to stay inspired if you see
your objectives as a chance to gain some new useful knowledge

8/8 Acknowledgement
This means you should also consider the insights during your
journey as an accomplishment
Create an individual reward system with things which you have
fun with
For smaller achievements you reward yourself with a visit in the
cinema or spa
For greater breakthroughs, reward yourself with something like a
dinner in a good restaurant or a weekend holiday
