Summary

In show 481 we talked with Mark Sanborn, author of The Potential Principal. We asked him what his favorite Zig quote and value was and he gave us this, - What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. We then created a great, inspirational quote poster with that quote and posted it on the Ziglar Facebook page along with this question, If you understand the value of goals but have still not written them out for your life and desires, why? We got a lot of responses and picked out five we felt were highly relevant for everyone. Acclaimed Ziglar speaker Michelle Prince joins me to co-host a very real discussion on the struggles we all have with goals. Thanks to ZipRecruiter and Blue Apron for their support of this episode.

Ziggs said what you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you
