What will I learn?
In this course you'll learn to define your goals in such a way that they're actually achievable. Setting goals can be tricky, but actually achieving goals is the real challenge! And to accomplish this, it's good to know what you should be aware of. You'll learn how to divide your goals into smaller components and how to ensure that the goals you set are ones you truly stand behind. You'll also learn how you can reward yourself for every success you achieve. To some people, this may sound like a piece of cake, while others have more trouble with it. Perhaps you're already used to setting goals and achieving them at work, for instance. But it could also be completely new or unfamiliar to you, and you have to get used to the idea of keeping it all under control. Make sure that you choose what feels right. In any case, this course "Achieving Goals" will support you and help you achieve your goals.

What will I do?
Making dreams come true means making choices, working hard, being disciplined, taking small steps, making progress, and being able to deal with disappointment. And that's what this course is all about. You probably have more experience than you think. Remember learning to tie your shoelaces or figuring out how to light a match? Passing your final exams or winning a medal? Getting your driver's license or buying your own house? So you see you've already achieved plenty of goals in life, and look forward to the ones that lie in your future. Your intrinsic motivation gives you the optimism and courage to do so.

A motivational driver, is something that you take for granted and experience as a driving force. It's why you do what you do. Every person, team, or group has its own particular driving force. Something in life that they consciously or subconsciously strive toward. For example: if winning is one of your driving forces, you're not going to give up when you're playing a game! If your goal is related to your motivational, it's going to be a lot more likely that you'll achieve it. In this course you'll find out what your motivational drivers are.
