It doesn’t matter what goal you are striving to achieve, you usually need to maintain a high level of motivation and passion to get it completed.
These goals can be anything such as losing weight, making your online business succeed, or retiring with enough income to live comfortably just to mention a few.
If your level of passion and motivation starts to dwindle you may find yourself not accomplishing much at all.
Successfully attaining any goal is commonly accomplished with the same tried and true formula consisting of 4 basic strategies.
Stick to the Plan
Following the suggestions below will give you the best opportunity to stay passionate and motivated toward achieving the goal you’re pursuing.
These suggestions are not that complicated but without a plan like this to follow, many people are unable to accomplish what they set out to achieve.
Sadly, many folks deviate from the plan. They get distracted or lose the fire they once have. Their motivation and passion just aren’t the same.
Follow these 4 simple strategies:
1. Define Your Goal:
Whatever it is that is the object of your desire, acquiring it is what you would consider your goal. Whether it is starting your own business, having a better relationship with a special person, or whatever, you still need to have a plan in order to see it through. You should write your specific goal down in a clear sentence or a short paragraph. That way you will know exactly what you want to achieve.
2. Make a Plan:
There is an old saying,” those who fail to plan, plan to fail”. You must have a blueprint for getting to your destination. You need to make a step-by-step plan to get from where you are now to where you want to be and to make that trip in the shortest possible amount of time. This plan needs to detail each and every step that needs to be accomplished. Break things down into clear, precise steps.
3. Take the Time To Learn the Things You Need To Know:
Knowledge really is power. Sometimes knowledge comes from books and articles. Sometimes it comes from just simply being observant of the world around us and really looking and listening and asking questions of those who have already reached the goal we are seeking. Surround yourself with successful like-minded people and tap into their wisdom.
4. You Must Maintain Your Burning Passion.
It’s easy to lose that passion when things don’t go just as planned but you need to find inspiration wherever you can find it to fuel your passion. Watch motivational videos or podcasts. Read books or online information that will help keep you motivated. Work at it and work at it daily.
Maintain Positivity
In the event that you still lose the passion you once had, regaining it may be a challenge.
That passion and energy you need to reach your goal may simply be a matter of organization and planning as suggested in the 4 strategies.
Additionally, you might want to break your goal down into a series of small goals that when completed in order will help you reach your desired end.
Learn a bit about time management. Do a little research online. It will serve you well to manage your time wisely.
Get rid of all that negativity that is blocking your way to success. Maintain a level of consistent positivity. Do so by listening to motivational speakers.
Instead of using negative words like “I can’t or I don’t”, replace them with positive words like “I can and I do”.
Once you start maintaining a positive approach to what you do in life, success will become something you consistently achieve.
In Closing:
There are strategies that can help make accomplishing your goals more attainable.
Regain your passion and motivation by including a positive attitude. You will believe what you tell yourself.
If you still find yourself struggling with motivation and find it difficult to complete tasks toward accomplishing your goals, you probably need something else.
That something else would be a mentor or a coach. A quality coach will provide accountability, motivation, excitement, and a great step-by-step plan.
Having a coach that is not only an expert in what he or she does but is also sincerely interested in your success is so very important.
Where to find one is typically the next type of question I get.
I have the answer for you, my mentor John Thornhill. He is the exact type of coach I was looking for. He is very well respected and as far as I’m concerned, one of the best.

Hello Frank,
First off, I’d like to commend you on a great blog post. It’s clear, succinct, and full of excellent strategies that anyone striving towards a goal can make use of.
I particularly appreciate the emphasis you put on having a clear, defined goal. I agree that without clarity, it’s tough to make consistent progress. And it’s a good reminder to write down our goals, not just keep them in our heads.
Your advice about making a plan resonated with me. The old saying, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail” is spot-on. I’ve found that having a step-by-step roadmap can make a big difference in achieving goals and preventing feelings of overwhelm.
The third strategy about learning and gaining knowledge is invaluable. There is so much wisdom and experience to tap into from people who’ve been where we want to go. I’d also add that sometimes it’s helpful to learn from our own past successes and failures.
Maintaining passion and staying motivated is, in my experience, one of the trickiest parts. I like your suggestion to watch motivational videos or listen to podcasts. I’ve found that finding a supportive community or a group of like-minded people also helps.
The positivity part also struck a chord with me. Keeping a positive mindset is crucial to success, and it can change how we perceive our journey towards our goals. Replacing negative words with positive ones is such a powerful practice.
Your closing advice about considering a mentor or a coach is excellent. Having a guide who’s been there and done that can make a big difference.
Thank you for sharing your insights and strategies for success. I found them helpful and inspiring. I’m intrigued about your mentor, John Thornhill, and I’ll check out the webinar to learn more.
Keep up the great work, Frank!
Best Regards,
Jim
