THE POWER OF REWARDS FOR
SMASHING YOUR LANGUAGE
LEARNING GOALS
Welcome back!
In the last few Inner Circles we've
been ramping up our progress to
reach the yearly goal by the
December 31st deadline. The time
is now.
Today, we’re wrapping up the year
with one final tactic and one final
word of insight.
This time, we’re
talking about the power of
rewards and why you don’t have
to fail your yearly goal if you miss
a monthly one.
In this Inner Circle, you’ll find out
whether I hit my 30-minute goal
or not, how rewards help you
maintain motivation for long
periods of time, and why you
shouldn’t worry about small
failures on your way towards a
bigger goal. More specifically,
you’ll learn...
You don’t have to
fail your yearly
goal if you miss a
monthly one.

This is it, dear Inner
Circle Member.
WE’VE REACHED THE FINAL DAY OF THE YEAR.
At the beginning of the year, I set my New Year’s resolution, or
yearly goal, to be 30 minutes of Italian conversation. Not a
vague goal like “Speak Italian.” Similarly, I asked you to set your
own goal for the year. A small, realistic, measurable goal with a
deadline.
Then we broke that big yearly goal down into smaller monthly
goals. The point was to have those monthly goals build into the
big yearly goal by December 31st.

My goal for January 31st
was to hit 3 minutes of
Italian conversation.
By July,
I was around 20
minutes.
And on December 14th, I hit
my 30 minute goal. That’s
right. I hit my goal!
At the beginning of the year, 30 minutes, although arguably realistic, still seemed like a
tough goal. Especially when I was hovering around the 3- to 5-minute mark. But once I
started hitting v15, 17, and 20 minutes, and once I only focused on my monthly goals...
...that’s when I realized how doable and realistic it was.
And it hindsight, it really was.
