Goal Mapping
A Master Skill for Life - Setting and Achieving Goals
To be successful or not to be successful - all depends on you.
In 1953, a survey was conducted at Yale University, where all the final year students were asked about their university experience and about their life in general.
One of the many questions they were asked was:
‘Do you have goals for the future?
(10% of the total said yes)
The next question asked was:
‘If you have goals, do you have them written down?
(4% of the total said - yes)
Twenty years later, the group were re-interviewed, and it was discovered that the 4%, who had written down their goals, were much more successful in many different areas of their lives than the other 96%. Interestingly, each individual within the 4% was financially secure, and they were worth more materially than the other 96% added together.
We are all natural goal-setters in our daily lives. However, some of us are better than others for various reasons. Goal-mapping is a tool created by Brian Mayne and he has written a book, Goal Mapping: How to Turn Your Dreams into Realities,’ which clearly explains how this unique and effective tool can help us to set and achieve our own goals.
Learning how to set and achieve goals - a master skill of life - can empower us to gain many more skills and abilities and much more, to enrich our lives for the better.
