Lunch With Zig Ziglar
January 22nd, 2008 | Michael Q. Pink
I Had Lunch With Zig Ziglar…
Thanksgiving week, I had something new to be thankful for. On the Monday before Thanksgiving I was given the honor of leading the devotions for the Ziglar Corporation. Seated in the front row was Zig Ziglar himself and that in itself was both an honor and bit intimidating. After all, he is the all time best at communicating meaningful messages in a powerful way. Millions upon millions of people have been positively and in some cases radically changed by the messages they have heard from Zig.
His Example Humbled Me…
One of the things that impressed me most and quite humbled me was the fact that Zig was taking notes and asking questions! Here’s a man in his early eighties that has forgotten more than most people learn in a lifetime and remembers more than most people have stored on their hard drive… and he’s still in learning mode! He later explained in our recorded interview that not only does he read the Bible and newspaper everyday so he knows “what both sides are up to,” but he spends an average of four hours per day reading materials to help him grow.
A Terrible Accident…
What you may not know is that back in March, Zig fell down a 21-step staircase onto a marble floor and experienced a serious concussion. Suddenly, life was very different for him at 80 years of age… he no longer moved with the energy of a 65-year-old man. His balance was impacted and his short-term memory was “really short,” as he likes to say, but he’s still as optimistic and loving as ever. Almost overnight he aged 15-plus years and began the struggle to overcome and live with a brain injury. The grace with which Zig has embraced the struggle is deeply moving and very inspiring. Make sure you watch the video or listen to the audio to see what I am talking about.
Tom Ziglar, the CEO of Ziglar Corporation has a powerful vision of seeing his father’s legacy bring about true transformation in the lives of millions of folks around the world and intends to spend the rest of his life working on that project with the many wonderful team members at Ziglar. He went on to tell me about a project Zig had recorded where Zig lays out all the Biblical foundation for his most popular teachings in an openly Biblical format. He calls it Christian Motivation for Daily Living and it is simply fabulous. As a Christian, I feel it may be the best collection of motivational teachings from a Biblical perspective ever recorded.
All for you…
In fact I am so impressed with the spirit I saw in Zig that we asked for a special offer package we could send to everyone on our list. I wanted the best offer possible and declined on any revenue share so they could offer you an amazing deal. It’s that important. The nice thing is that it includes THREE bonus gifts to send clients, friends or loved ones and the investment is still under $100! I suggest you don’t wait too long because the bonus gifts are for the first 200 customers who accept their offer. Click here for details.

These teachings are so good. How do you help a poor church whereby most of the members are orphans, old people, needy, sickly and others were affected by war!
