Do you have high expectations that often end in disappointment?
High expectations for business success or career advancement?
High expectations for how well your children will do in school or in relationships?
High expectations for the goals you want to accomplish?
We are all familiar with the idea of lowering our expectations so that we are not disappointed.

Your happiness
“The way you see life will largely determine what you get out of it.”
— Zig Ziglar
How do you see:
Yourself?
Your career or business?
Your family?
Your relationships?
Your faith?
Your finances?
It has been accurately stated that work gives us more than a living – it provides us a life. Unfortunately, a lot of people quit looking for work as soon as they find a job! When asked how many people worked for him, one employer responded, “About half of them.” Unfortunately, there’s truth to those two little quips.
"Motivation is the spark that lights the fire of knowledge and fuels the engine of accomplishment. It maximizes and maintains MOMENTUM." - Zig Ziglar
I love this!
Motivation Maximizes and Maintains Momentum.
Without momentum, good companies (and people) struggle and don't do as well as they should.
Your product, service, message and mission need a constant flow of the right people, “viable prospects,” getting exposure. Zig gives us a professional class on the topic, then we break down the high points. If you think you aren’t in sales…you’re listening to the wrong podcast.
How do you get things done?
When are you most productive?
What things are you getting done?
If we want to move the needle in our life, we need to get the right things done, at the right time, in the right way.
Here is what it looks like for me.
Several years ago I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine, Don Sherman.
At that time, Don was in the FBI and he was on the SWAT team. I was asking him questions about what it was like. I made the comment: "I bet you guys spend a lot of time training to go fast.

Last week I had an incredible opportunity to lead a Goal Setting and Achievement Workshop for the members of Lifestyles Unlimited, which provides education and mentoring for real estate investors.
An idea for you. Once a week, set aside 15 minutes of quiet time.
Fifteen minutes to have your "Dream" coffee. Or tea. Or water. In fact, what you drink doesn't matter. Your dreams matter.
Start by being grateful for what you have.
