Actually, I think you need two things: a goal AND a plan.

Saying "I want to buy a new car" is a goal.
Saying "I want to buy a new car in 3 years and I'm going to put $333/month into my high-yield savings account until I have $12,000" is a goal AND a plan.

Goals are great, but without plans they are a lot less likely to become reality.
