A Written Goal ?
Posted 30th January 2008 at 02:20 PM by MeenLoch
Do you believe in writing down goals, vision, objectives ?? Here is a small statistics 
In a Harvard class (not a bad school - everyone on relatively equal footing at a university of that level, so a good
test case) - the numbers are rounded - 83% of people said that they had no defined goals. 13% said they have
goals, but didn't write them down. Remaining 3-4% had goals and wrote them down.
Here's the kicker - the 83% were the baseline - average. The 13% who had goals but didn't write them down made
twice as much money than the 83%. And the 3-4%, they made twice as much money as the 13%.
I write down, but when it comes to following the list, it gets slower. I feel written goals or resolutions definitely have their impact. They orient you towards what you want to do. Of course they have to be right before our eyes so that you read it more often and get back on track in case you are not
