how do you penalize yourself? what rewards do you give yourself?
That varies a lot. Anything I need, or want badly, I get. Rewards and penalties are extras like a luxury spa appointment or not buying a UFC event on pay per view. I'm already very easily motivated, but I find attaching small stuff to certain project milestones works well for me. The main motivation is the goal itself, but I've always had a gamer mentality, so my method incorporates the same kind of mini-rewards that keep business milestones fun and fresh.
hah, nice, i was thinking of starting a goals/rewards thread because recently i achieved a few goals that i had attached some pretty significant rewards to- they were that important.
but after hitting them, i was more turned on about hitting the goals and everything that meant, that the reward was simply a material thing (yawn, really) and not as rewarding as reaching the goals.
first time that has happened to me and i am very big on goals/rewards. very.
For me most the time the rewards are just taking part of a day off and having fun.
Say I set a goal to finish up a project by a certain day. If I finish on time, if it is early in the day, I will call it a day and relax the rest of the day. If it is late I will take part of the next day off if possible.
It isn't a big thing, but it feels good kicking back with a cold beer, some pizza and watching a game when you know you just reached a goal.

yes i have major goals..and minor ones.
major ones...are there..because it will take some time to accomplish.
the bentley for instance is a prize for myself after several other minor goals.
minor goals/gifts for myself are typically a game of golf..etc

Same here. I will set a major goal and several minor goals on the way to getting to that major one.
