Do Goals Bring Happiness?
It’s human nature to wonder how the other salesperson on the team won the trip when you worked so hard making and exceeding your goals. Happiness lasted only a minute, why is that? And for many entrepreneurs, the question remains, why are some apparently so successful yet others have to struggle? You might think, I’m achieving my goals but…
The goals are designed to focus on what will bring you happiness but in actuality the happiness comes from within. Concentrating on what other people achieve while wondering what’s wrong with us may be considered jealousy. In this sense, goals will never achieve what we want.

An improved approach is to concentrate on what is meaningful to you, personally. Are you able to be with the people who bring you joy and do some of things you love when the occasion is right? Concentrating on what you hold in high esteem allows the competitive nature of sales to fade away. Helping other individuals or communities contributes greatly to the reward felt.
When you are happy and appreciate what you have, that provides the added motivation to go make a sale, develop your preferred clientele and tackle the projects you were meaning to get to. Joy in work and happiness are the best motivating factors in order to attain those set goals.
Once you are proud of who you are, it will be reflected in your meetings and interviews, and then far easier to find the Smooth Sale!
