I will have a book published and for sale by the end of the business day Wednesday September 17th. Great! I have made that commitment. Now, how do I make sure that happens? (Especially since I still have not yet selected the topic of this book.)

First I will put these three pieces together. 1) I will figure out what I want. (My Outcome – as specific as I can determine this early on in the process.) 2) Why do I want it. (My Purpose – what it will mean to me to have it done.) 3) What do I need to do, and by when, to make this happen? (My Actions – what specifically do I need to do.) In my language, I will put together an OPA Project – Outcome, Purpose, Action.

The concept of an OPA Project is not mine. It comes from my time with the great coach and speaker Anthony Robbins. Thanks Tony. I encourage you to watch how I lay out this project over the next 3 months. I think you will find it interesting and useful.

Till next time…Jack
