Someone said, “You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.” That’s what life targeting will help you do, to “work it right!”

As you think of your targets, you must always gravitate towards taking action on activity targets, because that’s where the true power is. You cannot change yesterday, “Elvis is dead, Get over it!” And you cannot change the future except in the present. The song writer said “There’s Just No Future in the Past.” The only control you have is what you do right now. Someone rightly said, “Wherever you are, be there!” That means living in the present. What you do in each moment of life will determine your future, and since it is that important, and powerful, why not plan it carefully?

You must take your major life targets and break them down into action targets for daily activities. Remember, “I will do today what others will not, that I may have tomorrow what others have not.”

You must break your targets into smaller reachable targets, or short term targets that lead to long term targeting. Commit so many hours per day to working on your life targets, doing that which really produces results. Then you must determine the success building activities that you will commit to doing every week, and how much time you will delegate to those activities.

Utilize the “Plan of Attack” sheet at the end of this chapter to help you set such targets, both short term and long term targets and follow up on your own progress daily.

Many times in my life I have had to start over from scratch, but using the principles of life targeting and a targeted plan of action, I was able to succeed and rise to the top again. I worked my plan and reached my target date, and was enormously successful. You too can be enormously successful in just ninety days if you want to bad enough, and anyone can do something for at least ninety days. Why not set a goal to make it all happen in the next 90! Start with energizing targets for you and your life. Targets worth sacrificing and working for. Targets that stimulate, challenge, and fire you up inside. Targeting that will change your lifestyle. Targeting that will wind you up and turn you loose! Targeting that will set you on fire, and cause you to accomplish something of significant value for you and those you love!

Why not go for it?!
