I will set goals for each day for each month for each year for the long term.

Successful people are goal oriented. They create goals all the time. Daily goals are represented in their daily to do lists. Long term goals are broad initiatives to be accomplished at specified points. Successful people focus on work at work, and leave their family and personal matters outside the office in an effort to achieve their business goals.

Successful people are long term thinkers. They are constantly looking to the future in an effort to determine where they are in terms of accomplishing their goals. They do not dwell on the past, not daydreaming about past successes or failures. They continuously make course corrections to get back on track in achieving their goals.

Unsuccessful people are not goal oriented. Like leaves on a fall day, they float in the air aimlessly without direction. They allow the distractions of daily living to affect their ability to perform their duties at work. They allow themselves to become daily distracted by things that have nothing to do with their work. Since they are not focus on goals, they have nothing grounding them to the tasks they need to perform to become successful.
