Make Today Count: The Secret of Your Success Is Determined by Your Daily Agenda Best Review

“Make Today Count” by John C. Maxwell is a small hardcover book that packs a good wallop in its 136 pages. The tag line on the covers states, “The Secret Of Your Success Is Determined By Your Daily Agenda.” Nothing could be more true. The only thing we really control is “now.” We can look back at the past and we can plan for the future, but now, today, is the only thing we can control. The decisions we make every day, added up over time, will determine our success or failure.

In this short but valuable book, Maxwell starts out by explaining how to make today a masterpiece, and how good decisions to day will give you a better tomorrow. He then sets out in twelve chapters to explain his “daily dozen,” or the twelve critical areas he believes you need to focus on daily to succeed.

These twelve areas, or his “daily dozen,” include: Attitude, Priorities, Health, Family, Thinking, Commitment, Finances, Faith, Relationships, Generosity, Values, and Growth. In each chapter, Maxwell explains why he feels this is important to success, and how he learned it. He shares how he incorporates these into his daily life and provides suggestions and tips on how you can too. Each chapter ends with a few questions to ask yourself in regards to how you are doing in the particular area and what could you do to include practice of that discipline in your daily life.

The book concludes with Maxwell encouraging the reader to take his list as a model and to create one of their own, and then to consciously examine what they are doing each and every day that I helping them move toward success and happiness.

Over all, I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped remind me to focus on what is important each and every day, and that the accumulation of daily disciplines is what really determines one’s future and success. I did note in the front cover that this book was originally published as “Today Matters.” Readers of that book may not want to purchase this book of the same information under a different title. Study and apply Maxwell’s twelve disciplines to include into your daily agenda to help you discover success and happiness.
