“Would you tell me please, which way
I ought to go from here? That depends a
good deal on where you want to get.
I do not care much care where.
Then it does not matter which way you go.”

• Lewis Carol

Wealth building requires direction to come to fruition. When you have a vision to accumulate wealth, you must first decide on which direction you are headed. You will then have to translate your vision into some definable short term goals. These goals will be in series of easy to accomplish steps which you have to put into writing. With these clearly written goals, wealth building becomes easier to accomplish. Having clear goals therefore provide focus and direction to one’s vision of wealth creation.

Goal setting in wealth creation is like a map. It shows us the direction we must take to accumulate wealth. Without it we become rudderless. According to Og Mandino, “The victory of success in any endeavor is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them” The rich have acquired the habit of setting daily goals and achieving them. With their goals they set directions as to how they will achieve their dream of wealth accumulation. Yogi Bora confirmed this by saying that “If you don’t know where you are going, you are never going to get there.”

In wealth building, if you do not set definite goals towards achievement of that dream you will never accumulate it. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to set goals. Your goal is your dream with a deadline. However, goal setting is not an end in itself but a means to an end which is wealth creation. Therefore, it is not what a goal is that matters but what it does.

From the foregoing therefore, to succeed in wealth building you require goal setting. Without it, you cannot build wealth.
