Thoughts on Zig’s Most Popular Quote…
February 21, 2010 | 
Author 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!
You see, I have heard it used so many times by people I thought of as leaders involved in one business opportunity or another and so the meaning always seemed to be that if I helped others get into that opportunity that it would somehow BE what they wanted – it would therefore solve their problems and, by extension, solve my own!
Then, somehow, like a light from the clouds, it dawned on me…. that was NOT what it means. Actually, I can tell you how it came to me. I was talking with my friend and Mentor, Luc Despres. We were discussing our Free program which is open to anyone in any business… and that’s when it hit me… I’m not supposed to help people get into my business to solve their problems and there by solve my own… I’m supposed to help people make the business they are already in work for them. If, through the process of helping them, they then CHOOSE to go into a sponsorship with me – that’s just icing on the cake!
Remember when you are about to do something that feels uncomfortable – like calling someone to talk to them about business – this is NOT about YOU! You want to focus on them – not with the idea that you will then use their own words to somehow ‘manipulate’ them into doing business with you – but rather with the idea that you really want to know what they do, where they are struggling and how or IF you can bring them something to help them!
If you are already in our free mentoring program, then you know you do have something that will help them. If you are not but would like to know more, please contact me directly and I will be happy to help YOU! 
Peace,

Great job on this blog post. I absolutely LOVE having you as part of my circle of influence and I look forward to our next chat. Keep up the fantastic work.
That’s the secret – Just be consistent, continue to get educated, and connect with people on a regular basis – Bringing “value” to THEM!
I recommend Leanne to anyone who is looking for a sincere motivated, REAL mentor with a servants heart. She is a true leader and is a true joy to work with.
If you want to rid yourself of the burdens of failure and frustration, Leanne has the answers. She will prove to you that your lack of success up to this point is NOT your fault.
Thank you for being you Leanne.
Yours Truly,
