If chiropractors are at all like the folks in this famous Harvard Business School study… 3 percent of docs will make TEN TIMES the amount of money the average chiropractors bring home.
The study I’m referring to is one that was conducted with graduates of the the Harvard MBA program in 1979.
According to Mark McCormack, author of the book What they don’t teach you at Harvard Business School, graduates were asked, “Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made plans to accomplish them?”
“Only three percent of the graduates had written goals and plans; 13 percent had goals, but they were not in writing; and a whopping 84 percent had no specific goals at all”, McCormack reports.
A decade later, the members of that same graduating class were interviewed again, and the results, while expected, are nonetheless staggering.
“The 13 percent of the class who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84 percent who had no goals at all. And what about the three percent who had clear, written goals? They were earning, on average, ten times as much as the other 97 percent put together”, says McCormack.
Coincidence?
Maybe. Not likely though.
Fact is, the chiropractors who set specific goals, create plans to achieve those goals, and then take focused action on those plans daily, are sure to achieve substantially more than their fellow docs.
How much more? I don’t know. But, more.
Personally, I believe the rarest, yet most valuable step in that “goal-getting triad” is: taking focused action on your plans DAILY.
Goal-setting and planning is great. But, without consistent, focused action on those plans, everything else is meaningless.
At the end of the day, what ultimately determines the level of your success and accomplishments is NOT your thoughts, dreams, wishes, goals, or plans. It’s the actions you take every day based on each of those things.
As we rapidly approach the end of another year I would urge you take some quiet time to ponder and reflect on your behaviors, habits, and actions of the previous 10 months or so.
Then, spend time getting clarity on your most important goals for 2010. Even better; narrow down your list of goals to one primary goal of greatest importance to you. Then, create a doable plan to achieve that goal in 2010. And, finally make a commitment to take action EVERYDAY towards the achievement of that one primary goal.
