Respond to the following questions in 50 to 100 words each:

What role does motivation play in goal achievement?

Motivation plays a huge role in goal setting. If you’re not motivated you will just sit around and not accomplish anything worth discussion. Being motivated, whether it be self-motivation or from a supporter it is a good thing to have. Motivation will help you achieve your goal, because it gives you something to hope for and look at to say you did something positive.

How will you maintain your motivation through the course of achieving long-term goals?

Once you know what your motivation is, I will try to go back and re-visit my goal and motivations daily.

I will examine my progress and see if I need to make changes, I will reward myself for completing some of the short term goals that lead to my long term goals.
