In this episode, Gary Miller asks us to take a careful look at our target. We are all aiming at something. Our schools have a target in focus and so does each one of our students. At best, functional and ideal targets are misaligned. At worst, careful targeting is ignored in the press of responding to whatever is most urgent. 

Gary Miller brings deep experience in finance and education. In 2011 he authored the book Charting a Course in Your Youth where he tried to leverage this experience to equip young people to focus early on the right things, particularly in finances. Unified focus on the right target is vital for kingdom building. In this talk in 2013, Gary offers clarifying insight about the difference between the apparatus involved in hitting targets and the step of selecting a target in the first place. He also offers wisdom about identifying the key target and homing in on it.
