19.In the movie Alice in Wonderland,Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take.The cat responds,"Well,that depends on where you're trying to get to."Alice replies,"I don't know."The cat responds,"Then any road will do."You see,knowing where you're going increases your chances dramatically of getting there,and there is no better way of"GETTING THERE"than setting your goals for the upcoming year.Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you.If you are like many other people,for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and,even more importantly,committing them to writing have positive effects on your life.However,a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.
In 1979,a class of Harvard MBA students was asked:Have you set clear,written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them?The following will astonish you.Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place,13% just had goals,and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.
Ten years later the members of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals.The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning,on average,twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all.And the 3% percent who had clear,written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.
Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination.Remember,always set SMART goals.Goals should be:Specific,Measurable,Attainable,Relevant,and Time-bound!
