Why Have Written Goals?

The importance of having written goals cannot be stressed enough. Everyone probably knows about the study done with the Harvard graduates. It was found that after 30 years, 3% of the surviving graduates were worth more financially than the other 97% combined! It was same 3% who had written goals. Coincidence?

If you don't have written goals, your life can be compared to a ship without a rudder. You might move all over the place with bursts of activity, but where is your destination? If you ask a Captain of any boat where his or her destination is, they will never say "Oh, some seaport on the Atlantic Coast." The Captain knows exactly where the seaport is, and furthermore knows exactly how far it is, when the ship will arrive, and how much fuel it will take.

You must be the Captain of your own life and set goals.
