— Alberto Gómez (@alberMoire) January 29, 2018

— Alberto Gómez (@alberMoire) January 29, 2018
#GoalChat A4. Talk to a good friend, read a book for pleasure, go for a walk, take a bath– then get right back on the horse!
— Rita Johnson (@msritajohnson) January 29, 2018
A4: Depending on the circumstance, I take breaks and walk to get inspired. Or, I look at what I accomplished so far and I get motivated again #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) January 29, 2018
Great point. That’s why it’s helpful to track your activities. So you see you have done more than you thought @SabrinaCadini #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) January 29, 2018
I always have more than one reading and more than one writing project in process. If I get bored, I jump to one of the other candidates. When NOTHING gets me going, I brush the cats or wander in the woods near me to take pictures. #goalchat pic.twitter.com/nnvYk9u0Qj

Q5. What advice do you have for those who need motivation? #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/cCG79eIlOa
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) January 29, 2018
A5. Come up with a reward system. Always have a passion project in progress – use that to get your engine running and then move over to you have tos. #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) January 29, 2018
A5. Be YOU….but also accountable and responsible. #GetSET #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) January 29, 2018
#GoalChat A5. Remember your “why” and keep it at the front of your focus. Cut yourself some slack– you’re making strides and that’s what counts.
— Rita Johnson (@msritajohnson) January 29, 2018
A5. Watch motivational videos on YouTube which will inspires you to keep on pressing on with your business goals and life #goalchat

I use timelines to keep me on target…#GoalChat A6
— Deborah Thomas (@DTNEtiquette) January 29, 2018
A5. Motivation usually calls into question of perception of self and goals. Many people lose themselves in feelings of worthlessness, failure, and unrealistic expectations. Antidote = idea busting with a punch through draining feelings by feeding the self-esteem! #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/yemGMTnHdw
— Dr. Dorrie Cooper (@sittingpretty61) January 29, 2018
You have to have a vision around which to set your goals. Keep that vision in front of you all the time and remind yourself WHY you are doing what you are doing. That usually gets me back on track. #goalchat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) January 29, 2018
A5. I’ll pile on your comment #Debra. I would advice people to create a reward system (formal & informal). If I know the, express to them they can call me but to step away, & do an activity(ies) that you can/will laugh when doing it until your spark comes back. #GoalChat
— Kevin Wilson (@KWilson805) January 29, 2018

Don’t force yourself to find motivation – Use a positive and creative approach and ask yourself “Where can I improve? How? What am I aiming for?” #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) January 29, 2018
A5. Keep moving forward. Don't quit even when you're not motivated. This is where you grow. Motivation comes and goes. Recharge and it'll be back. #GoalChat https://t.co/bW928jj3to

How do you reward yourself when you achieve your goals? #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) January 29, 2018
One way to do rewards – put money in a jar when you reach benchmarks. Then, when you achieve goals, spend it on something special for you! #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) January 29, 2018
A5. cont’d. I like that one, I haven’t heard that tip since my youth camp days. Way to think outside the box Debra. I’ll def use that one as well…👍👏😄 #GoalChat
