URL: http://www.julieannsullivan.com/ziglar-on-significance/
Summary
What does it mean to create significance? How can I make a greater impact on others? How are my habits related to my personal and professional achievement? Those are questions every success-oriented person should be asking, and our guest today will help you find the answers.
I’m excited to introduce you to Tom Ziglar, son of the late Zig Ziglar, one of the world’s top motivational speakers for decades. Tom is CEO of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and travels the world speaking to billion-dollar companies, small business owners, and at prestigious academic institutions. In our interview, Tom reveals the secrets that have helped him become so successful. You’ll learn why you must be before you can do, why you must do before you can have, and what the ultimate goal of your success should be (hint: it’s to help others). Grab pen and paper, your phone or tablet, because you’ll want to take notes on the practical strategies Tom shares for success.
Tom’s Bio: For over two decades, Tom has served as CEO of the family business. He joined the Zig Ziglar Corporation in 1987, learning every aspect of the business as he climbed from working in the warehouse, to sales, to seminar promotion, to sales management, and then on to leadership. Tom has had the privilege of speaking around the world to billion-dollar companies, small business owners, and at prestigious academic institutions like Cambridge and Harvard. He excels at speaking on leadership, business, and performance. Tom’s mission in life is simple: To help you become significant by equipping you to help others be, do, and have more than they thought possible.
You’ll discover:
Why Tom describes his superpower as being an “intellectual engineer,” and how you can harness that power as well. The fastest way to success. Key wisdom from Zig Ziglar on why habits are like termites: “Hurricanes and tornadoes get all the publicity, but termites do more damage and they take such little bitty bites.” Why you’ve got to be before you can do, and do before you can have. Why lottery winners tend to squander all their money. The reason why you should get out of bed immediately instead of sleeping in. How to re-train your brain to look for the good by keeping a gratitude list. The power of a 2-minute self-talk exercise twice a day … it will change your life! The three C’s of prosperity: Connect, Communicate, Collaborate
Tom’s 5:00 a.m., 45-minute routine that has laid the foundation for his success:
I imagine two chairs--one for me, and one for God. I ask Him three questions: Do you know my circumstance? Are you big enough to handle it? What’s the plan? I study the Bible. I write down four goals I’m working on that day. I write the names of the people I will encounter that day, and create a mental model of how my time with them will go. Even if things go differently, I am better prepared to handle it. Then I get to work on my #1 priority for the day.
