Updated: Feb 13, 2023

ID HOTELIER - You've set your career goals, and you know what you need to do to achieve them, but somehow the motivation just isn't there.

Trust me, I've been there. It's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day and lose sight of what you're working towards. But with a little effort, it is possible to stay motivated and on track to achieve your goals.


Here are three steps that have helped me stay motivated and achieve my career goals.


1. Find Your Why

The first step is to find your why. Why are you pursuing this goal? What will achieving it do for you? What is the purpose behind it? Why is it important to you?

Answering these questions will help you tap into your intrinsic motivation—the kind of motivation that comes from within and doesn't require external validation or rewards.

Once you know your why, it will be easier to stay motivated because you'll have a clear purpose to work toward even when things get tough.



If you're struggling to find your why, here are some additional questions that can help:

- What do you want to achieve in your career?

- What kind of impact do you want to make?

- What are your values?

- What makes you feel fulfilled?

- What do you want to be known for?


Set aside some time to really think about these questions and write down your answers. Keep them somewhere you can refer back to when you need a reminder of why you're pursuing your goal.


2. Create a Roadmap

The second step is to create a roadmap for how you're going to achieve your goal. This doesn't have to be an overly detailed plan, but it should include some key milestones that you want to hit along the way.


Some things to consider as you create your roadmap:

- What steps do you need to take to achieve your goal?

- What skills do you need to acquire?

- What knowledge do you need to gain?

- Who can help you achieve your goal?

- What resources do you need?

- What obstacles do you need to overcome?



Again, don't feel like you need to have all the answers figured out from the start. But having a general sense of the path you're going to take will help you stay motivated and on track. It will also give you a sense of progress as you check off each milestone.

As you make progress, you can adjust your roadmap accordingly. And as you overcome obstacles, take note of what worked so you can apply those lessons to future challenges.


Another effective step in creating your roadmap is to break down your goal into smaller, more manageable pieces. This will make the goal feel less daunting and make it easier to see your progress.



For example, if your goal is to get a promotion, you can break that down into smaller goals like:

- Getting a positive performance review

- Taking on additional assignments or responsibilities

- Networking with people in your field

- Getting more involved in professional development opportunities


Each of these smaller goals will help you move closer to your overall goal and provide a sense of accomplishment along the way.


3. Build a Support Network

The third and final step is to build a support network of people who can help you stay motivated and accountable. This might include friends or family members who will encourage you when you're feeling unmotivated or someone trusted who can offer advice and guidance.



You can also join online communities or in-person groups where you can connect with like-minded people who are pursuing similar goals. These people can provide support, advice, and motivation when you need it.


Many successful people have a mentor or coach who they can turn to for help and advice. If you don't have someone like that in your life, consider finding one. A good mentor can make a big difference in your ability to achieve your goals.


Knowing that you have people in your corner who believe in you can make all the difference when it comes to staying motivated and achieving your goals.


Final Thoughts

Staying motivated can be tough, but it's definitely possible with a little effort. By finding your why, creating a roadmap for success, and building a supportive network, you'll be well on your way to achieving your career goals.


So don't give up—keep moving forward one step at a time!
