Are you hitting your REAL target?

Mar 19, 2025

About that time I brought my shooting target to one of my workshops...

You see, I keep a shooting target from my first time at the range hanging in my garage.

(Thinking hey, it might be a deterrent if anyone ever decided to break in. You never know. 😂)

So anyway, for my Momentum Reset workshop earlier this year, I brought it along as a visual aid. (And afterward while hanging it back up, shot this video.)

Here's what I asked the class, and what I'm asking you now...

When you look at this shooting target, what do you see?

(⬇️ Btw, watch instead of reading, or read on below. ⬇️)

Are you hitting your REAL target?

You might be like "Oh, that's pretty good for your first time."

But here's what we unpacked about that in the workshop:

You can look at this target and make all sorts of assumptions.

But the real answer is, we don't know if I did well.

Why?

Because we don't know what the goal was.

If you assume I wanted to hit some head shots and body shots, sure...it might look like I did pretty well.

Maybe I wanted to stay on the blue. Pretty good there too, a few shots outside here and there.

But what if my entire objective was to NOT kill? Or not even injure? What if it was only to scare?

Then I would've wanted all the shots to be on the white.

This is the concept of Ready, Aim, Fire.

So often in life, we...

  1. Make judgments about how others are doing in their lives (when we don't even know what their objectives are).

  2. Don't actually take the time and intention to aim our focus at what WE want. Something catches our peripheral and slips our focus off the target (at best), or we wave our focus all around like a wild man/woman (at worst).

 

And so I'm here to say to you today, first of all, stop comparing. You dont know what others are shooting for.

But most of all, what are YOU shooting for?

  • What kind of life are you after?
  • What are you getting ready for?
  • Where is your aim right now? Where does it need to be?
  • Are you firing on what you should be firing on?

 

I'm here as your 'trigger'😆 so you take time to reflect on that.

And if you really want to make sure you get on target, join me for a Momentum Reset on 5/1.

I'll be helping you set up all the elements you need there, so you can discover your true target, get your aim right, and go rapid fire!

What are you unknowingly saying “no” to?
In just five weeks, we will be exactly HALFWAY through the year. Take a sec to think about that list of things you wanted to accomplish when the year started. I mean, the big things. The important things. Have you been checking them off? Are you excited when you look at  how far you've come? Or are you feeling overwhelmed by everything left to do? Or are you already saying "Eh, I guess there's...
Want to work smarter?
    If you’ve been with me for any amount of time, it probably won’t surprise you that I really like my calendar. Like really like. Because of that, I get asked a lot of questions about time management, life hacks, and how to get stuff done without burnout or the trap of hustle culture. Many of us handle all there is to do by writing a massive running list. We keep adding tasks ...
Are you keeping promises to yourself?
Have you ever stopped to look at how you actually spend your time? I'm not talking about the scheduled appointments on your calendar with other people. I know you show up for those. You have integrity in those areas. I’m talking about your integrity with yourself. I'm talking about the commitments you made to your own goals, your projects, or your life at the start of this week, this month, or ...
