Goal Setting

“The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen. In conversation you can get away with all kinds of vagueness and nonsense, often without even realizing it. But there’s something about putting your thoughts on paper that forces you to get specific.” -Lee Iaacoca, former CEO of Ford, and Chrysler Motors on documenting goals
