Self-motivation, a common trait among successful entrepreneurs, eludes many people, often due to the various challenges and circumstances they face in life.

As simple as it may seem, self-motivationbegins with taking action toward something specific. The American Psychological Association notes that people who set challenging and specific goals are 90 percent more likely to achieve them than those who do not. Setting a specific goal helps you measure and monitor your progress more effectively, making it easier for you to check off smaller milestones along the way.

Celebrating these small wins is also essential for staying motivated as you pursue your goal. Setting a large goal and paying no attention to progress along the way can easily result in a loss of motivation. Small wins, however, are inspiring, as they can show you that progress toward your goal is underway, even if it may not seem like it. Sharing news of these small accomplishments also serves as incentivization since it can hold you accountable for reaching your goal.

Finally, as you progress toward your goal, you must continue learning everything you can. Increasing your knowledge makes you more confident in starting new projects and gives you the tools you need to take on different obstacles and challenges. Not only that, but sharing this knowledge with others encourages the development of skills that become motivational habits.

The principal of JAY Management Corporation, Jonathan Yob additionally directs the work of the Yob Family Foundation (YFF), which addresses crucial needs in the areas of conservation, social welfare, and arts and culture.

Many aspects of the YFF's conservation-related charitable giving focus on animal welfare. One of its recent projects involved teaming with Veterans Empowered to Protect African Wildlife, or VETPAW, to safeguard the continent's endangered and threatened species from poachers, as well as from criminal enterprises engaged in the destruction of African animals to sell their body parts on international markets. Poachers and traffickers typically target intelligent large mammal species such as gorillas, rhinos, and elephants.

One grim statistic: some 30,000 African elephants are slaughtered by poachers every year. Fewer than half a million of the animals remain alive today, despite a more than 30-year international ban on the cross-border ivory trade. Additionally, rhinos continue to be hunted for their horns, which, like ivory, find eager buyers on the black market.

Started by a former United States Marine who saw the hideous work of poachers in Africa firsthand, VETPAW marshals the can-do attitudes of military veterans to stem this seemingly ever-flowing tide. The organization's most notable efforts include training African park rangers to combat poaching and preserve species.

A Tampa, Florida-based philanthropist, Jonathan Yob guides the Yob Family Foundation as president and excels at developing capital raising campaigns in support of worthy community and charitable organizations. One such organization that Jonathan Yob has a particularly close relationship with is the Tampa General Hospital (TGH).

Having received emergency treatment from the TGH trauma care unit following a serious accident, Mr. Yob began volunteering with the TGH auxiliary thereafter and graduated from the TGH White Coat Program. Accessible by invitation only, the program is a mini-internship that provides local business leaders with the opportunity to shadow a TGH physician.

I a recent article, Mr. Yob singled out one of these physicians, Dr. Howard Tuch, who guides the hospital's palliative care unit. Having gotten to know Dr. Tuch through co-chairing a fundraising campaign on behalf of the palliative care unit, he understands the "compelling value" offered by palliative treatment.

Providing relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress associated with severe illness, palliative care goes well beyond what patients might expect. In addition to doctors and nurses, Dr. Tuch and his team gather resources that include chaplains and social workers to provide a broad continuum of medical and spiritual care.

These ratings are based on factors such as patient satisfaction ratings, medical outcomes, and peer recommendations.

Coy Jones, a political coordinator for the union, told News Channel 8 On Your Side that Florida health care workers were still lacking personal protective equipment, with many workers using the same masks and gowns for days. Another worker stressed the need for solutions to prevent more deaths in the state's nursing homes.
