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

What role does motivation play in goal achievement?
Motivation is very important because without it I do not want to do anything. When you have a focus it gives you a purpose to move forward and do better no matter what the situation is and my motivation is my focus point. When I find motivation I stop at nothing because that is what I strive for.

How will you maintain your motivation through the course of achieving long-term goals?
My motivation is my daughter and for that I will stop at nothing to reach my long term goal. That is all the motivation I need because she is my rock and she is the one I live for. That is a motivation that will never end well until she is 18 and has her own life.

    Writing goals down can help me achieve motivation to accomplice where I want to be in five years. Start by setting your short-term goals. This will help you to achieve your long-term goals. In running any business, you manage the employees in your company but setting guidelines for them to follow. If the company does not have guidelines to follow, then no one would care about the product and how it comes out. Most would show up late, leave early, produce bad products, and the company would fail, as would the owner of the company.
