Write Down Your Goals!!!

In 1953, Yale University conducted a study where a group of fresh graduates was asked if they had their goals written down. The survey revealed that only 3% of the students wrote down their goals.

The other 97% percent did not have clearly defined goals written down and apparently adopted the attitude of living one day at a time without having a destination and goals to focus on.

Twenty years later, those students were re-surveyed. Are you ready for this? It was revealed through the follow up survey that the 3% of students who had written down their goals earned a combined income three times greater than the combined income of the other 97% who did not bother to write down their goals.

So if you are really motivated to achieve your life’s goals, I would suggest that if you have not written down your goals, now would be the best time to start. Obviously, just writing your goals is not enough to achieve wealth and clout beyond your wildest dreams! One has to take action as well. But it would appear from the results of this survey, that having focus can make a really big difference.

Personally, whenever I set goals, I write them down and I make a point of reviewing them and re-evaluating them from time to time. In addition to stating what you want, be sure to also include a deadline or timeframe as to when you intend to get it. It’s also helpful to spell out the actions needed to accomplish your goals. In other words, set your goals with a time table and then begin to take action toward your aspirations and endeavors.
