I have been aware of goal setting from the first hand count told to me by a good friend. 6 years ago he was earning 20,000 a year and almost broke. He decided to do some thing. So he wrote a few goals, and then he wrote down plan how he will achieve them. Then he took action. Any one else would have laughed at those goals at the time as they appeared to be too lofty for the situation he was in. The way he looks at this now is: those goals gave him something to focus on. At the time he would have been happier to acheive a fraction of those goals. But 6 years on, he has achieved every one of those goals. They included: private education for his children (cost 15,000 per child per year), and driving a top of the range Merc (cost 50,000 pounds). 6 years ago he was earning around 20 thousand a year and driving an old tattered car. Achieving those goals would have been unthinkable, short of winning a lottery. It may not be entirely due to just writing down the goals but that was a starting point. he wrote those goals, believed in them and took massive action. David A very good article.
