Goals help you keep in perspective what's really important so you don't spend all of your time doing what seems urgent.

Motivation without mobilization means only frustration.

The trouble with many plans is that they are based on the way things are now. To be successful, your personal plan must focus on what you want, not what you have.

Change brings opportunity.

To mobilize yourself, decide what you want, determine what will get you what you want, then act - do what will get you what you want most to achieve.

Most of us tend to suffer from 'agenda anxiety', the feeling that what we want to say to others is more important than what we think they might want to say to us.

Goals are simply a way of breaking a vision into smaller, workable units.
