It is amazing how individuals pass through life's without realizing what they can achieve by committing themselves into writing one important thing, that will transform their lives into greatness but given the least priority. They major on the minor things and minors on the major things. I`ve found out that goals and plans are the keys to achievements and successes, in fact statistics have proven that only 3% of us have goals and write them down. Interestingly only another 10% of us have goals and plans but keep them in their heads. But, the most dangerous one is the 87% of us drift through life without a definitive goals or plans. These sets of individual don`t know where they are going but let others dictate to them where they are going.
It is important to take into account that the 3% who have their goals and plans written down accomplish it from 50 to 100 times more during their lifetime than the 10% who have goals and plans but kept it in their heads. It is shocking to found out, that many people overestimate what they can do in a year (remember no goals and plans set for that year) and underestimate what they can do in a lifetime. Now what can YOU DO, it is very simple. Quickly write this down;
- Set yourself a clear goals
- Find an establish plan of action in achieving those goals
- Put those goals and plans into a notebook (find a notebook for the year), give it a specific time
- Celebrate those goals when they are achieved.
Before I forget, to make your goals useful, we need to make them SMART. The acronym SMART stands for:
SPECIFIC
MEASURABLE
ACHIEVABLE
RESULTS ORIENTED
TRACKABLE
Remember is not too late to start, its better than not starting at all.
