King
wants to see people pursue life goals with reckless abandon. He has
written this book to help us do that.
He
encourages us to write 100 goals across seven key areas of life. He
then presents a strategy to go after those hopes and dreams.
The
seven key areas are: Generosity, Health and Fitness, Career and
Finance, Spirit and Emotion, Travel, Friends and Family,
Accomplishment and Experience. He includes a chapter on each of these
areas to help us fine tune our goals. He is adamant that we cannot be
successful in just one or two of these areas. Our life must be well
balanced with success in all the seven areas. Why start with
generosity? “A life grounded in generosity is a life well lived,”
King writes.
He
encourages us to make one outrageous goal for each area. He then
suggests subgoals of easier attainment and shorter time span. The
result is 100 goals. Knowing that writing goals is just the
beginning, he offers a strategy to put fire under the goals and keep
it going. He has some advice on making the goals stick and tips on
overcoming adversity.
If
you are looking for a plan to reset your life, this is a good book to
read. He addresses all the issues that keep us from making the mental
shift to living life on purpose. He looks at the fears we might have
and the consequences of living in fear. He confronts the excuses of
no money and no time.
One
might think this is just another book on setting goals but the real
force of this one is King's personal story. He was severely beaten in
high school resulting in spinal operations. As a young married he was
in a severe car accident. He lives daily with pain. But he does not
let that stop him from achieving success.
Like
any other motivational book, reading it is not enough. One has to
actually do what the book suggests. King's own life story is a great
motivation. Find out more about the book and King at
