WW #545 - Writing, Telling, and Planning Increase Success by 77%

It’s amazing how often we know something works — yet we choose not to use it — and then feel disappointed when we don’t get the results we want. When it comes to goals, this happens all the time.

At Life Pulse, if you’ve ever been through our ACHIEVE program, you know we don’t spend much time teaching people how to set goals. That part is simple. In fact, it can be handled with a basic PDF. The real issue isn’t setting goals; it’s achieving them.

So once you know how to set a goal, here’s what actually matters.

Three Simple Steps That Dramatically Increase Success

Research from Dominican University of California shows just how powerful a few simple actions can be:

1. Write your goals down: The act of writing your goals increases your likelihood of achieving them by 42% compared to just keeping them in your head.

2. Tell someone about your goals: When you share your goal with another person, accountability increases — raising your chances of success to 55%.

3. Create an action plan: When you write the goal, tell someone, and create a clear action plan, your likelihood of achieving that goal jumps to 77%.

   
   

That’s it. Three steps. No complex system. No complicated strategy.

Knowing Isn’t Enough — Doing Is

Despite clear evidence showing these steps work, most people still avoid them. Not because they’re hard — but because they require intention, ownership, and follow-through.

If you want different results, you have to be willing to do what most people won’t.

This Week’s Challenge

For every goal you currently have:

• Write it down

• Tell someone about it

• Create a simple action plan

  
  

Be different than the norm. Start being 77% more likely to achieve what you want — simply by doing what works.
