Is it helpful to write down your goals? Most people will quote the urban myth of the study at Yale or Havard or…. where the 3% that wrote down their goal twenty years later make more than the other 97% (see http://59seconds.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/the-myth-of-the-yale-goal-study/ for more on the urban myth).

 One of the thousand or more links to this urban myth can be found at http://goalsettingnetwork.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/goal-setting-the-power-of-writing-down-your-goal/. But the common theme in most of the references is that it is important to write down your goals. I won’t argue what percent of people will be more or less succesful if they write them down, but I encourage anyone on their journey to financial freedom to write them down.

 To that end I have another page on my blog that I have written my business goals (from later in this article) down for the entire internet to see. Research tends to say if you publicly commit to a goal you will try harder to achieve it than if no one else knows about it.

 I would encourage others to send in their business goals as comments for the following reasons. One is for greater commitment. Another is for social interaction amongst similar minded individuals with common goals. And lastly is for myself and others to give support and suggestion for achieving those goals.

 I would like to limit these to business goals since the purpose of this site is to help you to achieve financial freedom with network marketing. I hope you have that ‘burning why’ you need financial freedom and that it is driving you toward success. It does not need to be written down for the world to see because it is your internal motivation to action.

 Shoot for the stars. If you fail to make the stars you will land on the moon. If you only shoot for the moon you will burn up on reentry.

You might as well make outrageous goals and have less outrageous as where you would still be happy to be. In light of that here are my goals:
