Standing at a Crossroads…
May 1, 2010 | 
Author How did I get here? How did it ever turn into this?
I have watched it happen over and over again with better people than me and have thought “there but for the grace of God go I…” and yet I never realized how true those words would turn out to be… but does that mean I am no longer in His Grace? No… I don’t think so … That would make no sense.
Rather I think it might actually be the other way around. I think that maybe I have been brought to this place by His Grace.

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) ?

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.

Share Your Labor Day With Me!
Can't. Type. Any...more.
Who doesn’t love a three-day weekend?

Your Calling vs. Your Work
Okay… that may only be partly true but how many of us really think that what we do is what defines us as a person? Is what you earn a living at the same as what you think your calling in life is?

HMMMM, I thought, how interesting.
