Writing Down Your Goals/Visions
December 30, 2008
A goal setting study sponsored by the Ford Foundation found the following interesting statistics:
23% of the populations has no idea what they want from life and as a result they float around aimlessly.
67% of the population has a general idea of what they want but they don’t have any plans for how to get it.
Only 10% of the population has specific well-defined goals but even then, 7 out of 10 of those people reach their goals only half (50%) of the time.
The top 3% of the people in the study achieved their goals 89% of the time.
What made the difference for the top 3% who achieved their goals 89% of the time?
They found that of all the possible variables … the only difference between the top performers and the rest was that the top 3% wrote down their goals.
This may come as a surprise. What is it about writing down our goals/visions?
I am interested to hear your thought. Would this be an interesting topic of discussion? Would you like to set you goals and write them down too?
