So here's a really, really simple strategy to be successful. Write down all of your goals. Reason why I say that is because Harvard did a study in the 1970s with all of their graduating class and found out that only 3% of those students who were graduating wrote down their goals. But 10 years later, they followed up with all of those students and found out that the 3% that wrote down their goals were more than 10 times more successful than the entire 97% combined that didn't write down their goals. And so that brings a question. Why is that? Well, because when you write down your goals, it makes them real. It makes them physically exist in this world. And when it's on paper, it makes it so much easier to be planned. So if somebody wants to be really successful, it's real simple. Just start by writing down your goals.
