Welcome to the second edition of Goals! Since this book was
first released in 2003, it has sold hundreds of thousands of
copies and been published in more than twenty languages.
It has become the bestselling book on goal-achievement in
history.
We have now decided to rewrite and upgrade Goals! to
make it more helpful and faster acting for people living in
more uncertain economic times. Three wonderful professional
writers and critics have reviewed this book from cover
to cover and offered excellent ideas to make it more helpful
to more people. I want to thank Katherine Armstrong, Sara
Jane Hope, and Janice Rutledge for their insights and wisdom.
This new edition is immeasurably improved as a result.
I especially want to thank my friend and colleague Cord
Cooper for going through the manuscript of the book to
revise, rewrite, add new material, and generally make the
entire structure more enjoyable and easier to read.
This book is for ambitious people who want to get ahead
faster. If this is the way you think and feel, you are the person
for whom this book is written. The ideas contained in the
pages ahead will save you years of hard work in achieving the
goals that are most important to you.
