Thought of the Week - 1/05/09

“Part of the issue of achievement is to be able to set realistic goals, but that's one of the hardest things to do because you don't always know exactly where you're going, and you shouldn't.” -- George Lucas

Writing down your Goals is an important first step towards achieving them. First, because by writing them down it forces you visualize your Goals. And second, because the act of writing them down creates a commitment on your part.

Only about 5% of the population actually takes the time to write down their Goals. Maybe that is why so few people actually are living the life that they would like to be living.

Writing down your Goals creates the roadmap to your success. Although just the act of writing them down can set the process in motion, it is also extremely important to review your Goals frequently. Remember, the more focused you are on your Goals the more likely you are to accomplish them.

When was the last time you wrote down your personal and professional goals?

When was the last time you reviewed your personal and professional goals?
