Writing Down Your Goals
According to Tom Bay’s book, Look Within or Do Without, Harvard Business School did a study on how well its students were doing financially 10 years after they graduated. Here’s what he found:
•27% needed financial assistance didn’t write down their goals.
•60% who lived paycheck to paycheck had set basic goals (that is, to make enough money to live)
•10% who lived comfortable lives had set general goals (that is, they had a specific place they wanted to be in five years).
•3% who were extremely well of had written down their goals. Plus, they wrote out the different steps they needed to do to reach them...
So, please write down your goals. It will change your life.

My partner and I have our morning meeting that start as early as 7AM. Within our morning minutes we discuss daily task, weekly outlooks, monthly goals, quarterly goals, one year goals, five year goals and ten year goals. We type and record all of our meetings and discuss all our main points. After that, we have a 30 minute after meeting walk which we perform at our local City Park. The walk allows us to talk in more detail of our task, goals and brainstorm. This seems to work for us tremendously. Everything is documented via laptop and voice recorded during our walks. This allows our goals to grow and be more definitive. Performing this weekly keeps us focused and inline with what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.
