Ziglar does not believe in “fake it until you make it.” But we do believe in “telling the truth in advance.” One of Ziglar’s most popular messages and offerings is his Self-Talk cards.

The most powerful lesson

Dad taught me many lessons in my life.

Here is what I believe is the most powerful one:

"You are what you are and where you are because of what has gone into your mind. You can change what you are, you can change where you are, by changing what goes into your mind.

My kids are in trouble

I remember it like yesterday.

It was my first day on the phone as a salesperson at Ziglar - 27 years ago.

I had been trained. I was as ready as I could be. I was also a little scared. At 24 years of age, I was nervous about selling our products and services to people I didn't know.

Finding GOAL-D

Here is the situation.

You are at a friend's house.

Your friend explains to you that there is treasure buried on his land. So much treasure that when you find it, it will change your life!

Your friend says you are welcome to search for it.

The Truth

"Every heart has a place for truth spoken in love." Tom Ziglar

The challenge is, not every heart is ready to hear the truth.

Yet, this is what I have found - when you share the truth in love - it resonates and has a tendency over time to find a home.

Just a little bit better

I have been thinking about the word incrementalism.

Incrementalism:

Belief in or advocacy of change by degrees; gradualism.

"Inch by inch it's a cinch. Mile by mile it's a trial."

Figuring out how to be successful in 2017 might be a mile trial.
