Best Quotes about Goals

You cannot make it as a wandering generality. You must become a meaningful specific.

Ziglar, Zig

You cannot do a goal. Long-term planning and goal-setting must therefore be complemented by short-term planning. This kind of planning requires specifying activities. You can do an activity. Activities are steps along the way to a goal. Let's say you desire security. Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.

By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.
