I am starting coaching a group of partners today. I will ask them and I will ask you: Do you have goals? That is likely not the most appropriate question because we all have goals. Perhaps better questions might be:

• Can you identify your goals?

• Are your goals written?

Why should you write (type) your goals and commit them to paper? The easy answer is because scientific studies tell us that people who commit their goals to paper are far more likely to persist and stick with it to achieve them.
