Zig Ziglar: Setting Goals

Posted by Orrin Woodward on March 5, 2013

Zig Ziglar: Setting Goals for Life

I miss Zig Ziglar. My three favorite classic speakers are Zig Ziglar, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, and Ken McFarland. Each of these three men spoke to the winner inside and kept me going during the leadership challenges on the journey to success. Zig’s unique style captures the attention of anyone with hunger. His personal stories of setting goals and accomplishing them has helped many others do the same. Indeed, LIFE resulted from dreams identified, goals set, and goals accomplished. 2013 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for so many, but it won’t happen until the reader sets the goal and moves towards it. Thank you Zig for a life well lived. Your example is still inspiring millions!

Sincerely,

Orrin Woodward

    My favorite Zig quote- “There’s no such thing as a self motivated person. Only someone who is willing to put themselves into an environment that is conducive for winning.” I am so grateful for Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady and the other LIFE founders for creating the most incredible environment that will influence millions to win!

  11. Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this Orrin! As you have so often said, it is better to be reminded than taught 🙂 I watched it with my daughter. She really liked it. She did say that she thought he was much older!!! She was disappointed to learn that he had passed away. It is neat that we live in a time where she can still glean many lessons from his material. He has left an amazing legacy. Thanks again for living a life that we can all watch and copy. You are like the elder around the campfire sharing the stories of life while we all sit mesmerized by your experience! Have a blessed day 🙂

  12. Great stuff! Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady, George Guzzardo, Claude Hamilton, Bill Lewis, Dan Hawkins, Wayne MacNamara, and Tim Marks have such great blogs! I love the information being taught in the LIFE business. Thank you!

    Great post.

  15. Julie Vrieze said

    This is a perfect video clip to share with my highschool leadership class on Zig’s goal setting formula!
    1) write it down
    2) put a date on it
    3) identify the obstacles
    4) identify the people/groups/organizations you need to work with
    5) find out what you need to know
    6) develop a plan of action
    7) write down what’s in it for me
    Thanks for all you do, Orrin! God bless!

    Fired Up Orrin! I for one REALLY needed that very message today. Love the clip! =) I have loved Zig Ziglar for years! For some reason, I have an overwhelming urge to watch the “Art Williams ~ Just Do It!” video 😉 Thanks Orrin! Blessings

    Well Hello Orrin! thanks for this great clip on goals, seems I need to get better at this since it has been a recurring theme this week.

  25. J & P Harteis said

    Classic voice, classic message,amazing legend! Thanks, Orrin, for remembering those who indeed left a legacy!

  26. Clint Fix said

    Awesome video Orrin! I noticed that he said “repetition is the motor of learning”. While not the point he was driving home (I didn’t miss it), I thought it was interesting. I love that LIFE offers on-going subscriptions because just listening to one CD or attending one seminar probably won’t change long term habits. Repetition is key. Thanks for sharing!

  27. Peggi Kern said

    Zig’s legacy lives on. I’ve heard many testimonies to his great wisdom and I’ve read one of his books, but this video was the first time I’ve heard him speak. LOVED IT!

  28. Chris & Kristen Shills and Marc Militello did fantastic at Lansing tonight!! Terrific!

  33. Awesome post Orrin, thanks for sharing Zig’s wisdom.

  34. Ted Hewing,Jr. said

    I didn’t know who Zig was until I joined the TEAM 3 years ago & heard Bob Burg imitating him(which was really good)! Zig is considered the best & I agree! Goal setting is something I must do starting today. Thanks Orrin & Laurie for allowing GOD to use you to help us!

    I too love the effects of listening to Zig Ziglar. I should listen more. Goal setting is essential. You really can’t achieve anything without it. I need to do better myself. Thanks Orrin for your effects in my life.
