Do you set yourself goals?
Do you write them down?
If you answered yes to both questions, well done! You are in the minority of people.... and if you don't keep reading....
In 1953, a famous study of Yale University graduates found that just 3% of the graduating class had written down a set of goals for their lives.
20 years later a survey of the same group revealed that the ‘goal setting’ students were financially worth more than the other 97% put together. This 3% also had better relationships & enjoyed better health. It was not parental wealth, degree subjects taken, career selected, ethnic or gender base or any of the other obvious factors that made the difference.
The factor that linked all these students was that they had set clear goals.
It is a real testimony to the power of goal setting! Even so, the majority of people spend more time planning their annual holiday than they do planning their lives. It is estimated that only 3% of the population has an organised life plan.
If you look at the metaphor of a sat nav. You programme in your destination and start to drive. If, for whatever reason, the road is blocked, you get diverted or you take a wrong turn, the sat nav will re calculate the route to your destination from wherever you are. When you set yourself goals in life, you may get lost, make mistakes, but if you know where you are heading, you will eventually end up there.
Without goals you are drifting and when you drift, you are not in control. You have far more power and influence over what happens to you than you may realise.
So what goals do you want to achieve in your life and business?
Start writing them down, know what you want!
I work with many personal and business clients to get a clear vision of what they want to achieve in all areas of their lives, breaking through any conscious & unconscious barriers to their success.
