How to Get Anything You Want in 90 Days

I, like most people, have always wanted to succeed. I think, however, being raised by parents who believed that “children should be seen and not heard,” made me want it even more. I was desperate for attention and wanted to be noticed. Everything I did was over-the-top and focused on being the best at whatever it was I was doing. I probably figured that if I did something big enough … or crazy enough … that my Dad would notice me. Thirty-five years later, I guess things haven’t changed much. I’m still striving to achieve a certain level of success so that my Dad might find me worthy of his love and attention.

 Now, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, I’ve already done that. I’ve built a company from the ground up that, so far, employs 75 people and generates millions of dollars per year. It helps countless individuals and families improve their lives, make more money, become better leaders, become better parents, become better husbands, become better wives and yes, even become better poker players and cooks. It helps hundreds of thousands of people every day become … well, better. The lessons learned along the way have been invaluable and each day offers new lessons that will undoubtedly find their way into one of my future posts, but for now, allow me to share with you what I have learned to be the most effective way of getting anything you want in 90 days.

 The first thing you need to do is determine what it is that you want. Most people have a good idea of what they want, but for this you need to be specific. You need to have a clear picture of what you want and be able to see it with perfect clarity in your mind’s eye. You should write it down and review it on a daily basis just to make sure that the picture remains vivid and drives you every minute of every day.

 The second thing you need to do is make a plan. You need to figure out what it will take in order for you to get what you want. For example, if you wrote down that you wanted a bigger house or a nicer car, you would need to figure out how much money it will cost and what you need to do in order to earn that money. If you want a better job you would figure out what kind of degree or schooling you would need in order to land that job, how much the education will cost and what you will need to do to make that money. The second step is simply to make a plan that will lay out all of the necessary actions that are required to get what it is that you want.

 The third thing you need to do is take action for the next 90 days. You need to put your head down and go to work! If your plan is clear enough, you will know exactly what actions need to happen in order to follow it. If it’s not, you didn’t put enough time, energy and detail into making your plan. To fix this, simply go back and do the work. To accomplish this step you must have the plan. The important part here is to take action immediately and do not stop or procrastinate for one second. For the next 90 days you must keep your head down, chin up and bust your ass to the best of your ability. I’m serious about this! Do not stop for even one day.

The last thing you need to do happens on the 90th day. On the 90th day, and not a day before, simply look up and see if you have attained everything you wrote down. If you have, then you just got “anything you wanted in 90 days.” If you haven’t, then you simply repeat step three.

 I guarantee that if you follow these steps and NEVER STOP, you will eventually get everything you want in 90 days. If you don’t … then you must be dead and it wouldn’t really matter anymore anyways, right?

 I started LightSpeed VT in January of 2000 and have been following this plan ever since. I haven’t gotten everything I wrote down yet, but check back with me in 90 days and I will let you know where I am.

 One day, I’m sure that I will make my Father proud.
