Do You Set DO Goals or WHO Goals?

Do You Set DO Goals or WHO Goals?

Andrew Carnegie, Scottish-American industrialist of the late 19th century, was a man who set big, big goals. Mr. Carnegie once wrote:

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.

He clearly followed his own advice, expanding the steel industry in America to become not only one of the richest men in American history, but a major philanthropist in both the US and the United Kingdom.

It’s the Carnegie kind of goals that command your thoughts, liberate your energy, and inspire your hopes that I recommend. And how you state those goals is every bit as important as the goal itself. Click here.
