Thoughts on Zig’s Most Popular Quote…
How many people have you hear re-state the adage:
“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want. ” (Zig Ziglar) ?
I have probably heard it 1000 times if I have heard it once. Heck I have even paraphrased it myself. But it wasn’t until literally the other day when I had an ‘ah-ha’ moment that made this quotation take on new meaning for me!
State of the Industry
I’m watching President Obama and his State of the Union Address – say what you you will, he’s a good speaker and has terrific speech writers.
Well… I don’t have a speech writer or a copy editor but I have some things to say – no.. not about the politics of the US – about home based businesses in 2010…
This is a very interesting time for those of us who are network marketers, small business owners, and entrepreneurs. One in Ten people in the US (alone) are out of work and are desperate for a way to make income for their families… this presents a certain set of issues for us as professionals in our industry.
In addition, unlike any other time, our industry is open in a global market faster and more connected than ever before.

The Difference between EASY and SIMPLE
Consider the EGG. The construction of the egg is undeniable in it’s simplicity and yet there is nothing easy about it. The shape is amazingly strong and incredibly fragile at the same time, the purpose of the egg is astonishingly complex – to grow a complete life-form. Yet, it is “just” an egg. Simple. But not Easy.
