Is there a Goal Card in your pocket?

In December 2011 I started sending out weekly emails with some thoughts and "discoveries".  In February 2012 I started this blog.  I decided not to waste those weekly posts so will repost here over the next few weeks and then always repost the weekly ones so they are here to refer back to - for myself and for those of you who may find them useful :)  So below is the email from yesterday.....

Do you know what a Goal Card is?  It is a powerful reminder of what you want the most.  It is a magical motivator proven to help you to attain whatever it is you want to have, do or be.  I can hear you saying, "Sure, Shannon, a few lines scribbled on a card is going to change my life, right?"

Well, some people would absolutely say, "Yes!"

A study conducted on students at Harvard in 1979 confirmed that writing goals down increased the probability of achieving them by an amazing amount.  Only 3 percent of the students had written goals.  After 10 years they discovered that those 3 percent were earning 10 times what their fellow students, who had not written down their goals, were earning. 

This study was conducted over 30 years ago.  Can you imagine how many people have heard about it since then?  I wonder how many people did anything with that knowledge.  What will you do with it? 

It is now the middle of February.  Is 2012 going to be the same for you as 2011?  How about better? 

I think I will go and rewrite my goal card :)

Onward and Upward
