The Secret to Achieving Your Financial Goals Part 2

I previously referenced a recent study by the University of Scranton shows that 92% of Americans fail to achieve their goals.

One of the reasons, as I’ve covered before, that people don’t achieve goals is that they don’t know the difference between a goal and a plan and because of that they have lots of goals, but no plans to make them happen.

Well, another reason people don’t achieve goals is the exact opposite. They have plans, but those plans aren’t based on a larger goal or vision.

I’ve mentioned several times this Law of Wealth:

“A life without vision tends toward death. A vision without a plan tends toward delusion. A plan without a vision tends toward distraction.”

I am going to take up the final component of this.

“A plan without a vision tends toward distraction.”

A symptom of violating this wealth law is unproductive busyness. Have you ever experienced or seen someone or maybe yourself even so busy that they can’t keep up with life, but at the end of it, they are not getting ahead financially?

Each and every activity a person engages in is some part of a plan. Cleaning the house is part of a plan to have a clean house.
