Get Up And Goal was very insightful

"Get Up And Goal was very insightful. It can be applicable to all people of all ages. Whether your goal is to maintain your current priorities or set new ones, its always good to have a guide. The books instruct you to list whatever your goal may be, and then directs you to the steps you need to complete it successfully. Already this school year I can tell that I've become more studious. Not that I wasn't before, but I realized how important it is to make goals, and knowing that you've accomplished them is a good feeling."
