Focus on your goal, irrespective of what is happening to you.

There are three very powerful ways you can do this:-

• Create your own

  vision board - a colourful collage of pictures representing all your goals.

• Create and say goal affirmations ,- sentences that summarise what you want in the language your unconscious mind needs to hear to help you get there!

5. Watch motivational movies

Watching movies transports us to another world.

In many instances a world of 'can do', 'will never give up' and defeating what seems to be 'the impossible'.

If you are going to take the time to relax and enjoy a movie you may as well also use that time to boost your own motivation.

6. Say positive affirmations

It takes just one second to switch from telling yourself 'I can't do this' to telling yourself 'I can and I will'.

Affirming the positive will always be better both in the short and long run.

Here are two easy ways you can do this:

Firstly create goal affirmations, have them to hand and regularly say them to yourself - whatever they may be. For example:

" I am earning $100,000 a year from my dog training website" or

" I am weighing X kg and walking for 30 minutes, 3 times a week"

Secondly, there are a number of beliefs that research has shown high performers share. You may want to take these

positive affirmations say them to yourself and adopt them entirely .

By adopting the beliefs of high achievers you are also more likely to experience the benefits.


7. Look at motivational posters

If a picture says a thousand words then let it do the talking!

Here is a great source of

motivational posters. There are literally thousands of posters available.

First decide what it is that you need to have 'more of' in order that you can keep on track to achieving your goal.

Is it more determination, more courage, more self belief...

Then choose the poster which appeals to you the most.

If you do decide to buy it, make sure you place it somewhere that you or your team will see it regularly.
