Zig Ziglar Classic Lesson

When I was young, stupid, and wondering when I would understand life, I often turned to my friend, Larry, for a road map. He always seemed to have what I needed - until the day he passed the torch. He knew I needed more. That’s when he introduced me to Zig Ziglar’s Stages of Competence:

1) Stage One is where we begin. We are “Unconscious Incompetent.” We don’t know what we don’t know. Yup.

2) Stage Two is called “Conscious Incompetent.” I spent a lot of time there. I used to say, “I have no idea what I’m doing - but at least I admit it.”

3) Stage Three is “Unconscious Competent.” I see that in my work. People who have no idea how good they are.

4) Stage Four is “Conscious Competent.” That was my goal. I wanted to know what I was doing - and KNOW it!

Most people continue to another level some call “Conscious competence of unconscious competence.”

The ability to recognize and develop Unconscious Competence in others.

You will become who you were meant to be when you learn how to get there, do the work, and recognize your achievement.
