Only 3% of the population sets goals?

I was listening to a Brian Tracy audible book called Success Mastery Academy

First off...fabulous...very motivating and great tips although slightly outdated (1997?). But at one point he said that only 3% of the population set goals. How sad is that...think of how much more we could achieve if we set goals.

Then there were more interesting statistics about research done with college grads...what percentage had goals (only about 20%) and then only 3% actually wrote them down. When they went on to check out these people years later the ones that were by far the most successful were the 3%.

Interesting thing is....you would think goal setting would be taught in school...high school at least. At least if you set up the habit then...it could really start affecting results in college or at work.

My husband is a high school teacher and I am going to see about whether I can get him to push for that in his school.

Enough ranting for now....
