How to Make Plans to Achieve Your Goals
In his best-selling book, "Make it Big! 49 Secrets for Building a Life of Extreme Success," “rock and roll” real estate developer Frank McKinney told of a method of setting lifelong, yearly, and even weekly goals for his life that he lives by and measures himself up to.
