I have spoken a lot lately on goals and today I found this fabulous video on Youtube from the powerful Brian Tracy. Mr. Tracy is a well know author, speaker and business man who focuses a lot of time on teaching success and achievement. Side note – I just ran around my house counting his books and I own 7.
I love when he says that he came across the idea that “successful people have written goals” so he took action – he wrote down his goals. How many of us actually do it-take the action?
Last year I wrote an article about my 2007 goal board and how, when I revisited it, I had accomplished a majority of the goals on it without realizing. You can read the blog post here.
If you have tried written goal statements or boards I promise you it is very powerful!
“Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.” –Brian Tracy
I really admire Brian Tracy. He has definitely had a huge influence on my life. And I’ve been writing down goals ever since. Thanks for sharing this Michele 🙂
I have seen really great Brian Tracy quotes on Twitter. But I have to admit that this is the first time I have seen him. I loved it.
I write my goals. I have long range goals, yearly goals, monthly goals and daily goals. It is the only way I can see if I am staying on track toward my long range goals. Now sometimes it can be a little discouraging. But mostly it is fun.
I, too, am a huge believer in written goals. Partly, so you don’t forget them and let the years slip away, but also to hold yourself accountable.
Hi Robin, Thanks for commenting. I love that your mind doesn’t know those things aren’t real – it can make things happen to accomplish those goals. Thanks, Michele
