THE WHY

80 percent of people never set goals for themselves. Of the 20% of the population that does set goals, roughly 70 percent fail to achieve the goals they have set

Of the 20% that do write down goals, only 20% regularly review them

3 percent of the American population set goals consistently, and are among the wealthiest people in the country

1. Your goals should be for something you really want. To set a goal for something someone else wants, is often a recipe for failure.

2. Your goals need to support one another, one cannot contradict or stand in the way of achieving another.

3. Successful goals are written in the positive

4. Successful goals are detailed5. Successful goals are WRITTEN

DOWN!

Writing our goals down and reviewing them regularly is critical to the success of the goals.

Find a prominent place to post your goals as a continual reminder.
