Pick a BHAG

A BHAG is a big, hairy, audacious goal that you want to achieve this year that will help you step into your vision of success. So what's your BHAG? Write it down along with the one thing you can do today to make it happen.

A study was conducted among a graduating class at Harvard University to see how many graduates had concrete goals about how much money they wanted to make. Only 3 percent had written down their goals. Ten years later, that same 3 percent was making more than the other 97 percent combined. Now that is power! Before another minute goes by, put some thought into your BHAG and get it down on paper.
