Goal Setting For Success
Have you ever heard of the Harvard business school goal-setting study?
If not listen up....in 1979 the graduating MBA class was interviewed about their goals. Ten years later they checked in with the graduating class to see their progress. 3% of the graduating class was making more than the other 97% combined!
While trying to uncover the reason behind this they came to learn that the 3% found the success they desired because they wrote down their goals.
This blew the researcher's mind and now this study has been shared everywhere. Some people actually say it's a myth and that it actually took place at Yale in 1953 but regardless of whether or not this study is true there is some important lessons in this story.
My biggest takeaways were:
People can have the same knowledge base but what you do with it will either make or break you
Writing down and getting specific with what you want is IMPERATIVE to your success.
Let me ask you: Are you setting goals year after year with no success?
If so you're not alone. Most of us live the same year over and over again and call that life. Let me just tell you ....that is no way to live. In a recent study I learned this statistic and knew I needed to share:
45% of Americans usually make goals
17% of Americans infrequently make goals
38% of Americans never make goals
But only 8% of America's actually reach their goals
Research says there are about 300 million people in America which means 276 million people are selling themselves short and playing small!!!
As if that wasn't shocking enough another interesting measure about the study from Statistic Brain was how far into the New Year people got with their New Year's Resolution before throwing in the towel!
75% of people made it through their first week
71% of people made it past two weeks
64% of people made it past one month
46% of people made it past six months
No wonder there is a day labeled National Quitters Day.
