Did you realize that only 3% of all people have written goals? And 98% of the most successful people carved out time to set written goals.
I learned this eyebrow-raising statistic today at a real estate seminar. And as I sit in my hotel room in Richmond overlooking the beautiful city skyline at night, I began to think my clients and friends may want to know a little more about goal-setting.
Joe Niego, Buffini and Company presenter, broke the process down today into four well thought out steps:
1. What do you truly want? What are your Gotta have it goals?
2. Mind Dumping: When you write down any idea, thought, question or concern that comes to mind when you think about that goal.
3. Stepping Stones or Action steps: What specific actions will you do to move you closer to your goal.
4. Put together a Persuader Statement: List the benefits for reaching your goal and what consequences you will face if you do not achieve your goal.
Joe reminded us that everyone has the ability to succeed in life and follow their dreams. We just need to dream a little and then spell out how to get there. And finally.... Take action!
I would love to hear your "Gotta Have It Goals." Comment on this post if you would. I would like to support you in achieving those goals. Goodnight Richmond!
