  • Summary

  • You know those times in life when you have a goal you want to achieve SO badly? When you first made the goal, you were all fired up and ready to go! You started off strong and felt like you were rocking it. You had a pep in your step and couldn’t wait to knock this goal out of the park.

    Soon though, the momentum and excitement faded and the goal that you once wanted so badly, goes on the back burner. In just a matter of a few shorts months (even weeks!), your motivation has backfired, and you’ve stopped achieving ANYTHING toward this goal. You feel disappointed with yourself, even ashamed and begin to lose hope that this goal might be something you just *can’t* do.

    You are not alone here. We ALL do this. We ALL have these moments. We ALL have those feelings. Including me!

    At the beginning of the year, I set a money goal in my business. I deemed it my #1 goal of the year and told myself that I wanted this goal to happen more than ANYTHING!

    Six months later...all my other goals are rocking EXCEPT for the darn money goal. (Figures, right?!) Sometimes the thing we want the most in life can be the hardest to achieve.

    A few weeks ago, I had enough with putting this goal off. I sat down and started to coach myself on why my motivation was lacking toward this goal. I once said this goal was SO important to me. Why had I lost my motivation?

    As I began to dig into my mind, I asked myself a series of questions to tap into the deeper meaning behind my goal. I wanted to see if I even wanted the darn goal in the first place or if I was sabotaging myself from success. (Something we ALL do SO often!)

    Within just a few minutes of asking myself these questions, I started to have some major ah-ha's about why my goal wasn’t happening. These questions are powerful! They’re the same ones I ask my clients when they too are struggling with their motivation toward a goal, and now you get these questions too! For FREE! (You lucky thing, you!)

    In today’s episode, I’m going to share with you five questions that will help you tap into your motivation with a goal so that you can get back to achieving!

    You’ll discover from these questions today:

    If your goal is something you still want (vs. something you feel you SHOULD be doing)
    How you can find the core value of your goal so you can understand how to motivate yourself toward success
    What you need to succeed and accomplish your goal!
    Ways to hack your brain so that you will accomplish your goal with more ease and fun.
    **I’m also sharing a resource I found recently that will test your top motivational factors!** This resource can rock your world with awareness on how to set stronger goals that you achieve.

    With these questions and free resource, I’m proud to say that I’m back on track to feeling motivated with my money goal. My hope is that you’ll feel that way with your goal too!
