Why People Have No Goals Program By Zig Ziglar




Everyone has individual goals but only about 3% have a well-balanced goals program.  An individual goal could be something as simple as getting to work on time or losing ten pounds.  It could be a negative goal like getting the next fix or the next drink.  A goals program is an entirely different matter.  There are four basic reasons people do not have a goals program.  Number one is an unrealistic or imagined fear which causes one to believe that his/her efforts will produce failure, so it is “safer” not to try.
Consider this: You could generate genuine fear in a bank teller by covering your face with a handkerchief, putting your hand in your coat pocket, pointing your finger toward the teller and saying, “This is a hold-up.”  The fear would be based on the teller’s imagination but the fear would be real.  It is this fear, based on false assumptions, which prevents most people from setting realistic but worthwhile goals.  Combine that with the fact that many people do not understand that failure is an event and not a person and we have another reason most people don’t have a goals program.
Admittedly, there is danger in many things.  There is danger when an airplane leaves the ground, but there is more danger for the plane if you permanently park it because it will deteriorate faster sitting still than it will when flying, which is why it was built.  There is danger when you rent a house, because the tenants might not take care of it; but there’s even more danger if you leave the house empty.  Houses deteriorate faster when empty than when occupied, which is why they are built.  There’s danger in setting goals because you might not reach them, but there’s infinitely more danger in not setting them.  Think about it and next week we’ll look at the second reason most people do not have a goals program. 
Zig Ziglar is known as America’s motivator.   He is the author of 29 books and numerous audioand video recordings.  See him in action!

The Millionaire Booklet by Grant Gardon

This great book by Grant Cardone summarizes the steps that you should take in order to achieve financial success. Below I outlined the main points that I took from this book. As with any summary, I believe it should be used as a refresher, as a list of guiding points that help remember the contents of the book. To fully understand and apply the following points, it is highly recommended to actually read the book. It does not replace the actual experience of reading the book, nor is it intended to. You can purchase “The Millionaire Booklet” (Audible/Hardcover)  here . or you can grab it for free by visiting this link  https://m.me/BenjieMalino Getting rich is about offense, not defense. Step 1.

Obstacles are the Stepping Stones of Successby by Harvey Mackay

A man was walking in the park one day when he came upon a cocoon with a small opening. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It looked like it had gotten as far as it could, so the man decided to help the butterfly. He used his pocketknife and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to emerge was natural...
