how many of you write your goals down?

Biggy · 01-01-2005

A long time ago a study was done at one of the most prestigious schools - Harvard, Yale, I don't remember but think it was at the Harvard Business School. They asked a certain number of students in a class how many of them write down their goals, both short term and long term. 3% of the students answered that they do indeed write their goals down on a physical piece of paper, keep it with them and close to them on a daily basis.

They checked back with all the students 20 or 30 years later. The 3% that had written their goals down combined made more money than the other 97% combined.

When I was told this, I began writing my own goals down, and posting it on a bulletin board right by my work desk. Needless to say, I have achieved my goals several times, and keep raising the bar on what I want to achieve...

Try it, it works - whether its making X amount per month, or losing 10 lbs by March 1st.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Happy New Year to Oprano Family

May 2005 be the best year yet.
