He has people write either their purpose or a major goal (it's been a while since I've watched it) on a notecard and that on the back and carry their notecard with them at all times.
Yup, and a few others teach the same thing including Bob Proctor. Bob worked with Earl Nightingale directly in the late 60's so I'm not surprised he practices the same goal card philosophy. And if I was a guessing man, I'd say that Earl Nightingale got his goal card concept from Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich - one of the first books I've read that even mentions using a goal card to achieve financial wealth.
