In 1979, interviewers asked new graduates from Harvard’s MBA Program“Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans (rituals/habits) to accomplish them?” and found that :

  • 84% had no specific goals at all
  • 13% had goals but they were not committed to paper
  • 3% had clear, written goals and plans (rituals/habits) to accomplish them

In 1989, the interviewers again interviewed the graduates of that class.  You can guess the results:

  • The 13% of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all.
  • Even more staggering – the three percent who had clear, written goals were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together.

So write down the following exercise:

  1. Write down what your life is like right now.
  2. What rituals have gotten you to this point?
  3. What do you want?
  4. What are the rituals that will get you there?

Pain of Discipline (weighs ounces) or the Pain of Regrets (weighs pounds.) – Tony Robbins

Will power doesn’t last, rituals do. Start with a couple of rituals, not all of them. Momentum will build up and you will add more rituals along the way.

Happy New Year!! May you have a wonderfully prosperous and healthy new year!!
