Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can...

A few months ago, some friends and I discussed goal-setting and the different ways that we go about doing it. One friend suggested an acronym that might help us organize our goal setting system: CO-FISHES. The letters stand for:
O--Organization
F--Family
I--Intelligence
S--Social
H--Health
E--Economics
S--Spiritual
I started by organizing my notebook into the eight focus areas. Then, in the Career tab, I set my Career goals. These are the things I want to accomplish in my Career and why they are important to me. This is my WHAT and my WHY. On the second page, I wrote how I am going to achieve those goals. What steps do I need to take to be successful in this area? This is my HOW.
