Abstract: In general, people always try to achieve their goals in several aspects of their lives such as the studies, jobs, and leisure time. Unfortunately, goals are not always achieved. Sometimes people simply give up on achieving them, or on other occasions, goals are not achieved completely (later, more costly, and to a lesser extent than desired). The principal objective of the present paper is to identify which variables determine success while people try to achieve their own goals. In order to analyze this fact, the authors will define a sample of university students, taking as a goal their current situation, defining the maximum quality of not staying down or not having more than two subjects left to pass. A questionnaire will be developed in order to identify which variables are more important to achieve goals. Answers from the students will permit one to know the importance given to the different variables by them, as well as how students manage these variables in order to achieve their goals. Moreover, a mathematical model will be used to evaluate what is the influence and relevance of each variable to achieving personal goals. Copyright International Atlantic Economic Society 2010
