Goals
Only about 3 percent of adults have clear, written goals. These people accomplish five or ten times as much as people of equal or better education and ability but who, for whatever reason, have never taken the time to write out exactly what they want.
From the Book Eat the Frog
I don't have a clue if there is hard data supporting this phrase.
However, in the Book What they don't teach you at HBS, Mark McCormack tells a study conducted on students in the 1979 Harvard MBA program. In that year, the students were asked, "Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?" Only three percent of the graduates had written goals and plans; 13 percent had goals, but they were not in writing; and a whopping 84 percent had no specific goals at all.
Ten years later, the members of the class were interviewed again, and the findings, while somewhat predictable, were nonetheless astonishing. The 13 percent of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all. And what about the three percent who had clear, written goals? They were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together.
What might be the reason for this?
1.If you set a goal you must think a bit where do you want to go. Many people just live day by day without a direction. To know where you want to go is a big plus.
Your vision of where or who
you want to be is the greatest asset you havePaul Arden
2.Focus, if you set a Goal or two probably you are going to focus on those tasks. You are good in things you repeat over and over. To have a Goal makes you repeat over and over.
