I’ve previously talked about making and keeping commitments.
Today we’ll talk about creating a vision for your life.
A vision is more than a list of goals. But goals are where you start.
National championship coach Lou Holtz is a good example.
Early in his career, Lou made a list of more than 100 life goals.
At last count, Lou was closing in on the last dozen.
These include rafting the Snake River through Hell’s Canyon.
Jumping out of an airplane — with a parachute, of course.
Appearing on national TV. Winning a national championship.
Mine include reading the Great Books of the Western World.
Circling the globe. Speaking fluent Italian and Spanish.
Resuming our study of the organ. Writing two dozen more books.
Collecting local recipes we love from exotic places we visit.
Selling 20 million books. Raising $200 million for literacy.
Here’s my challenge to you: Start your list. Make it a long one.
Make it so long you cannot afford to die before at least age 150.
Tomorrow we’ll talk about how those goals lead to your vision.
Special note: Ruth King will interview me Friday at 10 a.m.
We’ll talk about my new "Terminate Your Profit Killers" book.
