In April 2009, my pastor Matt Gregory led our congregation at Soul Purpose Church through a 4 week teaching series called “One Month To Live.” In their excellent book by that title, Kerry and Chris Shook give simple homework assignments each day for 30 days. The Day #1 assignment was to right down 5 things you would do if you knew you only had 30 days to live.

The very first thing I wrote down was “Complete everything associated with my journaling e-book, including 1) Revise my free e-book, 2) Create 11 auto-responders, 3) Narrate book, 4) PRESS release. This will create substantial residual income for Julia and leave a tremendous legacy.”

While it took me about 10 months to finally set aside the time to complete this, I never forgot what I wrote in my journal. As a result, on February 1, 2010, I launched my 30 Days To Breakthrough free e-course. In my opinion, this will be the greatest legacy I ever leave.
