There is a common stat out there that only 6% of people follow through on their goals. Which means there is a whopping 94% of people who think about having a boat and never will.
That is a pretty staggering number when you think about it. Only 6%! Some will decide that a boat is not right for them and will move on to other things they will accomplish. Those are not the folks we are talking about. We are talking about the Somedayers- they will move forward, then back off deciding that right now is not a good time for them but someday… And as we have all heard, “Someday” is not a day on the calendar.
Somedayers do hours of research, they call broker after broker to discuss a variety of boats. They build spreadsheets comparing costs and features and they haunt the boat shows.
Somedayers set impossible criteria that no boat could ever meet, which absolves them of any responsibility for not making the final decision.
Somedayers spend hours on the internet sending in request after request for “additional information” which they never act upon.
So far this sounds like I am on my high horse and that I could never be a Somedayer, but here is the kicker, we are all Somedayers about different things. And the sooner we can realize what we “someday” about, we can take the efforts we are wasting and put that energy towards goals we will achieve. After all, wouldn’t we all prefer to be a Six-percenter rather than a Somedayer?
