The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.

-Bill Copeland

Remember the famous Yale study? Only 3% of the graduating class spent time setting written goals and worked toward achieving them. Twenty years later the same 3% made 97% of the income and wealth of that graduating class.

1. No matter what your goals, articulating them is the first step to achieving them.
2. The second step is creating implementation plans in the form of manageable action steps.
3. The third is measuring and assessing the results.
4. Step four: Start over again. This time with new goals.

This is the meat of the matter–and it is what business coaching, facilitation, and training and development all point to:

Set goals and implement them.

What do you do when you are faced with an enormous idea that you know you must accomplish? If you are like most people, you usually become frustrated and do nothing.  Maybe you get part of the work done but don’t ever finish. But if you know how to set up manageable goals, you can learn to achieve them every time.
