Success Lessons From Zig
Good Day & Happy Holiday Season All,
As you may know, famed motivational speaker, author and man with the coolest name in the biz, Zig Ziglar, died on November 28th at the age of 86.
Over five decades, Ziglar authored more than two dozen books on salesmanship and personal ‘self-help’ development, emphasizing that success is dependent mainly on ones attitude and motivation, rather than educational aptitude or salesy schmoozing ability.
Regarded as one of the best motivational speakers of our time, Zig would regularly pack arenas to share his message of positive attitude, motivation and success through stories highlighted with short quotes that have become like commandments for success with his legions of followers.
Below are my favorite lessons from Zig that apply directly to my Pinnacle Performance teachings:
You Have To Start To Be Great
Expect The Best
Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude
People Buy Emotionally
Be a Friend First
Motivate Daily
Help Others To Help Yourself
Make A Great Day!

Back To Business
Good Day All,
Hope everyone had a good long weekend and all is well.
With September upon us it’s time to end Summer vacation (even if only mental) and have a renewed focus on business.
Pinnacle Performance can only be achieved by those who are committed to continuous improvement and consistent personal progression.
Don’t wait for success to happen… Make It Happen!

Discipline for Success
Discipline is a fundamental component of success in anything in life.
Have you ever seen an athlete achieve world-class greatness without discipline to their sport and a commitment to working on their game and honing their skills? Champions rarely wing it.
Have you ever seen a seriously overweight individual get in shape without discipline to some form of diet and exercise? Most likely, no.
Sadly, it is rare to see the same level of discipline in sales and/or customer service reps. Sure, the consistent achievers (Pinnacle Performers) have it. But they are often the exception and not the rule.
Everyone wants success in their sales or customer service role. True performers achieve success by committing to continuously improving their skill set and performance.
I once had a trainee tell me that he didn’t like to role play (customer interaction scenarios) because he didn’t feel he was very good at it and he would be “a mess”.
Imagine telling your (pick a sport) coach that you don’t want to practice because you’re not very good at running the plays? That’s the point of practice!
I tell trainees all the time, the program works if you work the program. All it takes is discipline.

Persist To Succeed
Good Day All,
The attached image shows just a few but many of the world’s greatest accomplishments never would have been achieved without persistence.
Right now, in a tough economy, there is much to challenge your chances of success. Consumers limiting their spending, reduced traffic in the stores, etc. It is easy to fall victim to these external issues and lose your internal drive.
Persistence takes practice. It’s something you bring to work every day. Regardless of what your goal may be, you can only accomplish it if you persist towards it with daily focused behaviors.
Commit to moving forward every day, each another step of progress and one step closer to your goal and ultimate success.
Steve 🙂

Keep Moving Forward To Succeed
Hi All,
As any calendar will tell you, we are now officially half-way through 2012. And this midway point comes smack dab in the summer season when it’s easy to be distracted by the nice weather and thoughts of being out of work for a little fun in the sun.
That’s great and well deserved for your efforts. Just don’t take that mental vacation while at work too…
You are (or should be) on the right track to a Pinnacle Performance year. This is no time to stop and smell the roses.
Keep moving forward towards your goal and striving to be better today then you were yesterday.
Walk The Path!

Frost on The Road Less Traveled
Hi All,
In one way or another, I speak about this all the time in my Pinnacle Performance training.
The fact of the matter is you’re not a monopoly in the marketplace. There’s likely many people and companies who do what you do.
When product and/or services are identical from company-to-company they are automatically commoditized with lowest price being the single biggest purchase influencer. When you are the same as everyone else in your role then you too are commoditized and worth only the “going rate” for your daily duties.
The best performing companies, and the people in them, are innovators. They don’t behave like everyone else. They go over-and-above to create special value for their customers, internally and externally.
They take the road less traveled and that truly does make all the difference.
Make a Great Day!
