How Zig Ziglar Sets Goals

by JD

“Goals don’t care who has them.” — Zig Ziglar

I watched a video by Zig Ziglar on setting goals, and his goal setting formula has to be one of the most powerful and precise  that I’ve seen:

“Write it down, put a date on it, listed the obstacles I had to overcome, identified the people, the groups, the organizations I needed to work with, spelled out a plan of action, set that time limit in there, and identified all the benefits to me. 

It was only when I did that, that the goal became a reality.”
