The Value of Setting Goals

A GOAL CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE
A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder. Goals are dreams that are written down.
The purpose of a goal is to focus your attention. Your mind will reach toward achievement only when it has a goal.
There is no achievement without goals.
Establish a goal worth working for. Your goal will keep you going in tough times.
Always have something ahead of you. Continuously visualize your next step. Keep moving after you achieve your goal and set another. Momentum is maintained by always having something to look forward to. Constantly give yourself something to work for.
Do what you can do well, and do well whatever you can do and you’ll achieve any goal that you set for yourself.
You can plant your dream with a goal.
To Your Success,
Judy MacEachran

Have you set goals for your business? Are they written down or just in your mind?
Vision, hope, dreams are all important facets to setting goals. But as the article above suggests, without writing down your goals you will not be able to stay focused. Those who succeed know this is true. Listen to them, and take the time to sit down today and write down your goals. How do you expect to reach your destination without a map? Without your goals written out and put in a place where you see them often, you will not know if you are on track or off base.
I will go into this topic in more detail at another time. However, you need to take your business seriously enough to set goals and write them down. Otherwise, you will be tossed about by changing tides and not know why you can’t succeed.
