Funny how that only two days ago I mentioned Zig. He’s been a part of my life for only one year.
I had just moved to Madison and was hired to do data entry. It’s a very monotonous task that didn’t take any thinking power. Podcasts were getting big at the time, so I decided to listen to a podcast while I was working. I’ve heard the name Zig Ziglar before because I reminded someone of him. Through my search, I found this.
I listened to every single pod cast at least three times, and some of my favorites even more. I still think to myself at times, “kick the cat.” When I began listening to Zig, my eyes were opened – No. My MIND was opened. From that day, when I listened to the first podcast of ol’ Zig talking, my life changed.
I listened, I applied what I listened to and I repeated.
I downloaded his Born to Win seminar and listened to that. I then caught wind that he and his son would be publishing his final book called Born to Win (different than the seminar I downloaded). It was between downloading the seminar and finding out about his new book that I also came across Seth Godin – who happens to look up to Zig as much as me.
Thanks for teaching me how to love a woman – redhead or not.
Thanks for teaching me how to move up in work, in life.
Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks for all the laughs.
Thanks for making public speaking look easy.
Thanks for teaching me what school, my family, my friends could never.
Thanks for all the conversations you never knew we had.
Stay Positive & Rest In Peace Zig
