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. Jim
