Most companies recognize the power of reward. Stores offer free rewards for shopping in their store via a rewards card. Credit card companies offer all kinds of rewards for using their credit card. Consumers are responsive to the offer of rewards—that’s why so many companies use them.
Companies also know about rewards. Many of them offer rewards to their employees for everything from sales quotas to making a specific deadline. Companies also know that employees respond to rewards and are motivated to receive them. Many companies even make sure that they give that award in a forum where the person is recognized publicly for their achievement, or offer group reward where everyone shares in the success.
So why not use rewards to motivate yourself? If you are working for yourself, you can set you goals, work hard to get there, and then forget to reward yourself. When you are setting up your goals, why wouldn’t you decide on a reward for yourself when you reach that goal? The best part about setting your own reward is that you know it is something you will really want.
Getting to goal and rewarding yourself can be an important part of maintaining you momentum without getting burned out. Just going for goal after goal, even when you are recognized by the company, can become tedious and tiring day after day. The reward you decide for yourself doesn’t have to be money. Maybe it is an afternoon off, maybe it is a movie, maybe even just a relaxing bubble bath. Whatever the reward, make sure it matches the goal. The bigger the goal you achieved, the bigger the reward!
Try adding rewards to your business. If you want to add a level of accountability, find someone and tell them what reward you have chosen when you reach that specific goal. Adding rewards will add a new level of motivation, but also a new level of fun. Everyone loves to do what they want to do for a chance and the opportunity to give yourself that chance shouldn’t be passed up. You work hard—reward yourself!
