One of my favorite movie lines of all time comes from the original Star Wars film.

It’s that scene from Episode 4 (the first film released to theaters back in the Dark Ages) where Luke and the rest are buzz-bombing the Death Star.

The screen is crazy full of Tie Fighters and X-Wings scrambling for position. And in the middle of the chaos, a group of three heroes race against the clock to blow the Death Star to smithereens.

Luke has been given the mission of dropping a bomb right down gulley of the Death Star’s Achilles’ heel – but he needs protection from the Empire’s defenses and the ever-dangerous Darth Vader.

They fly in for the final assault.

As they fend off salvos left and right, the Squad Leader constantly reminds his men.

“Stay on target!”

“Stay on target!”

“Stay on target!”

Now THAT is some great advice, even if you’re not battling the dark side of the Force.  It’s particularly applicable when investing to build a solid portfolio.

Distractions, emergencies, siren songs of one kind or another will always come.  And we all have tendencies to run this way and that, losing focus, and not sticking to the foundational principles of what it takes to reach our goals:

— Having a plan

— Taking consistent action

— Persevering through thick and thin
