Dear Friend,
Have you noticed that when two teams are playing and they are evenly matched that the home team wins more than 50% of the time? That is the home court advantage.
Having a great relationship with your spouse and with your kids is also an advantage. Dad called this the real "Home Court Advantage."
Our success in life, our untapped potential, even our dreams, are significantly impacted by our family.
Dad knew that Mom was always on his side, 100% of the time. Mom knew the same thing about Dad. The trust that was created because of their love, and maybe even more important, their commitment to their vows to each other, created an unshakable foundation.
Did they have disagreements? Yes. Was every day perfect? No. Did they both know the other one was always eager to listen, learn, change, forgive, and apologize when needed? Yes.
Not once growing up did I ever wonder if Mom and Dad would get divorced. The Ziglar house truly had the "Home Court Advantage." When your family is right – everything else is better. Your chances of winning go up.
Here is the good news. No matter what situation or circumstance your family is in, you can do somethingtoday that will make your family better tomorrow. What are you going to do?
If you believe family is important, I would love your help. We are in the development stage of a new family program that will come under the Ziglar Family umbrella. Mark Timm is leading this project, and together we have created a survey that will help us create just the right family program for the future. Five minutes of your time would help us a great deal as we create a family program that will truly help develop the “Home Court Advantage.” Click here to take the survey now.
You are Born To Win, so go ahead and Live To Win!
Tom
