If you don’t have a dream how can you have a dream come true?
A goal is merely a dream written down. It has been noted that people who REGULARLY write down their goals earn NINE times more over their lifetimes as the people who don’t.
Here are some statistics.
80% of Americans say they don’t have goals.
16% say they do have goals, but they don’t write them down.
Less than 4% write down their goals
Fewer than one percent actually review them on an ongoing basis.
If you want to increase your earning potential one of the best ways is to write down your goals.
Hints on Goal Setting.
Start on a small scale. Some will tell you to start planning the big picture first. That can be a bit overwhelming. The fact is if you get into the habit of setting small goals and accomplishing them then it builds confidence and puts you in position to work on some of the bigger goals you set for yourself in the life picture. Put small attainable goals on the list so you get to check stuff off. That’s the fun part – Checking it off.
One of the things I have been doing lately is listing and working my todo list on www.bubbl.us . This is a great free site that allows you to create a mind map instantly. That way you can break down the goal into a set of tasks, thus allowing you to check more stuff off. A little trick is when I check something off I actually change the color of the bubble.
The bottom line is this. Its crowded at the 80% level, there is a lot of room at the under 1% and a whole lot more money.
First goal to achieve is to set some goals.
You can do that right now. Grab a piece of paper and write down 5 things you need to do today. They don’t have to be hard but tasks that you need to achieve.
