In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson encourages plan fiduciaries and advisors to set structured, written goals for 401(k) plans in 2026, contrasting them with the low success rate of New Year's resolutions. He cites a Harvard MBA study showing that only 3% of the graduating class had written goals.  Their success far exceeded the remainder. Eric emphasizes the importance of specificity, measurability, and accountability in goal setting. He shares personal experiences with fitness apps and discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) for defined contribution plans, such as average projected income replacement ratios.
