Good Morning,

Goal Setting.  So many of us talk about it.  So few of us really do it.
   
The above is an excerpt from a speech Paul would use regularly throughout his career.  Below is the entire section:
  • People who plan their lives have a far greater chance of achieving outstanding results than those who just take life one day at a time.
  • 3% of the people have specific & written goals and are heading directly toward them.
  • 10% are equally well educated, just as determined, do just as much thinking about goals but don't write them down. They are outperformed by the 1st group anywhere from 10 to 1 to 100 to 1.
  • This is the power of a written goal -  It keeps you on track.
  • More than 50% have extremely short range objectives - - - the next raise, next promotion. They think about their kids education at graduation from high school.
  • The balance more than 30% never decide what they want out of life & seldom think about it. They are just getting by.

It is now 2015.  The whole year is ahead of us.  Let's commit to being in the 3%.  Make those goals, write them down and work diligently on achieving them.
