Home Business Success: Motivation Checklist

Getting Started
If you don't know what you want, nothing else matters. All the motivation in the world will do little good if you don't know what you're motivated to do. That's why the perfect place to start is by creating a detailed list of your goals and dreams.


Personal Goals
When it comes to personal goals we are dealing with three areas. First, your character and personality; the kind of person you want to become. Second, the things you want to take part in an experience. Examples of this type include learning how to fly a plane or visiting a foreign country. Finally, the things you want to possess. Here is where you'll find goals such as purchasing a new car or home.

With as much detail as possible create a list of at least 15 items for this category.


Career Goals
You will spend roughly 100,000 hours of your life working in some capacity, and this based only on a 40-hour a week schedule. For many others in the workforce this number will be much higher. Because of this fact it's vital that you love what you do and do what you love. When you consider your career think about your desired salary, position, responsibilities, or perhaps running your own show.

With as much detail as possible create a list of at least 15 items for this category.


Health Goals
Health goals, much like your personal goals, are made up of three sub-categories. First, we have you mental health. This includes how you think and feel each day. Second are your physical health goals; your weight, diet, exercise, etc. Third are your spiritual health goals. These include becoming more connected with a higher power or gaining peace of mind.

With as much detail as possible create a list of at least 15 items for this category.


Money Goals
While money can't buy you peace, love, or happiness, it does go a long way in making life more comfortable and enjoyable. As you work through these goals I want you to consider your personal savings, investment plan, retirement plan, and even your weekly/monthly budget.

With as much detail as possible create a list of at least 15 items for this category.


Relationship Goals
Life wasn't meant to be spent alone. We are social creatures by nature and need to connect with other people. Many people have amassed great wealth and fame only to find depression and sadness because they pushed away their loved ones. Think about the relationships you have with your family, friends, and co-workers, and how you would like to deepen and enrich them.

With as much detail as possible create a list of at least 15 items for this category.


You now have 75 goals to get you started on the path toward a more exciting and fulfilling life. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are many more goals and dreams to come in the future.
