Do you ever feel like life has you “in the vise”?

Pressure from all sides:

Bills

Commitments

Lack of sleep

Feeling overwhelmed? Focus on what you can do. No good comes

from spending energy on the things you can't do or have no control over.

Simple? Yes.

Easy? No.

Here is an example of positive, focused energy in a crisis.

Maybe your life feels like it is on hold.

Maybe you are doing fine, but there is something you know you should do - but you just can't get started.

Here is a quick checklist of what you can do to get Un-Stuck.

Determine your big Why.

I am in Las Vegas now, preparing to speak for a client. It's a very nice hotel with beautiful rooms. First class all the way.

Many times when Dad would speak, the client would honor him with a huge suite in the hotel. Several rooms, including a dining room, were not uncommon.

I am glad I didn't put any effort into my last job because that is why I got promoted - said no one..... ever.

My horrible attitude is really paying off and my business is growing like crazy because of my bad attitude - said no one..... ever.

“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.” Zig Ziglar

So true, and yet this truth is tragically far too common. A few days ago I wrote about people who wander aimlessly through life – I call them Zombies.

A good Ziglar friend and poet, Cliff Feightner, wrote this quick limerick about Zombies:

"Even though they are moving around
They make a disparaging sound.

I don’t believe anyone enjoyed life more than Dad. The smile on his face when he had cornbread and buttermilk was incredible.

He made sure to get the most browned piece of cornbread with the burned edges. He would break it into pieces and put it into a glass of ice cold buttermilk.

What business is your company in?

I would like for you to consider being in the True Performance business.

A number of years ago, the Ziglar team, along with Dad’s help, came up with this definition for True Performance:

“True Performance is the ideal accomplishment of an idea, goal, or objective that benefits everyone involved.

One of my favorite topics to speak about is Zombies!

Unfortunately, they are everywhere.

Zombies are simply disengaged people who are going through the motions.

According to Gallup, somewhere around 70% of the workforce is disengaged – in Ziglar terms, they are Zombies.

I recently traveled to Poland to put on a Born To Win seminar with our Ziglar Legacy Certified Trainer Jarek Wojcieszek. What an experience!

First, the people in Poland are amazing. Everyone was so helpful and eager to assist.

Second – THE FOOD. I was treated to several different traditional Polish meals.

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions?

How do I get myself motivated?

How do I keep myself motivated?

How do I get out of discouragement and despair?

How and where do I find hope?

It seems that no matter where I travel in the world, these are common questions.

The subject of this Zignificance email is 7 X Why?

What is your Why?

Is your Why written down?

Are you working towards your Why every day?
