The Kevin Miller Podcast

“Everything in your life matters.” In this show we get a message from Zig Ziglar on how everything in our life...matters. Everything affects everything, and what that means. What is happening good and bad in your work, affects your family life, your mental wellness, for example. From it I posted this question on Facebook: “What is one area of your life you improved, only to find it positively affected and improved OTHER areas of your life?” (You can use the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life for reference, which of course is:1.Physical & Nutrition2.Family3.Mental4.Financial5.Spiritual6.Career7.Personal Great, great replies with lots of variance I think you’ll find you relate and of course will be...inspired. I had Michelle Prince join me to talk through your comments. If you want to join these weekly conversations, and we’d really like to hear from you...your thoughts and perspective and experience, just find and friend me on Facebook at agentkmiller.

In this show we are talking about a big premise: that all your limits. All the handicaps of your mind, all your anchors and achilles heels and everything holding you back from your full potential come from...a primary source. Sounds too much already, doesn’t it? Just another claim to be the holy grail. I feel you. But then after this talk...well, it’s pretty convicting. If it’s not THE primary thing, I have now come to believe it is one of the TOP...primary things. And it is...unresolved trauma in your life. And before you say, “Hey, I’ve never had any real trauma, I’ve never been abused or lacked for much...you could have come from a privileged home and loving parents and tried to live up to high expectations that became somewhat of an anchor for you that you are imprisoned in or tired of...but the point, you have a limiting factor or belief rooted in your past programming and wiring. And until you get rewired, you will be stuck or at least handicapped.

We hear a message from Zig Ziglar on how we all succumb to lifetime conditioning. Literally how we all tend to give more attention and value to taller people than shorter, just as an example. And how it affects us all. From this message I posted on Facebook, this question:  "Do you have any labels attached to you? 1) What positive labels have you lived up to, and/or, 2) What negative labels have you had to overcome (or maybe want to)?" NOTE - These labels could have been given to you, or self-imposed. Great, great responses, of course. Tom Ziglar joined me to talk through the comments Learn more about your ad choices.

We are back with Lori Harder. Being a three time fitness champion, you’d of course expect some healthy habits. But physical is just ONE of the spokes, right? Some things she shared...She has a spoken, morning mantra. Her rule for decisions is whether she feels a full body yes or not, and a healthy habit for her marriage is she’s learning to golf for her husband and he’s taking ballroom dancing lessons for her. But what was really interesting is her talking about the need to change her habits frequently to keep them from getting stagnant. I think this will be freeing and exciting to a lot of you...it sure was confirming for me, as I’m the same.You’ll enjoy hear this show and of course be...inspired. Learn more about your ad choices.

We hear a short message from Zig Ziglar on mindset, and the reality that you can't change from a negative mindset to a positive mindset without changing your input from negative to positive. Sounds simplistic, but then, so is eating only from the salad bar when you’re at a pizza place...totally abstaining from the pizza. Simple. But diabolically hard. So it’s a significant perspective you’ll want to hear from Zig. From that message I posted this question on Facebook, “1) What are your primary sources of positive input (people, books, podcasts, music, art, etc...), and 2) What are the primary sources of negative input you work to avoid?” So many wonderful responses, you’ll come away with a great list. I brought Michelle Prince on with me to talk through all the comments. You’ll gain much from this show.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We talk with Lori Harder, about the power, necessity and opportunity of having a tribe. It’s just an irrefutable fact that people with strong social circles live longer, happier, healthier lives. But how do you achieve this for your own life? We cover it in a massively equipping conversation in this show. I asked Lori to join me because she has one of the top ranked health podcasts on the planet called "Earn your happy", she recently published a book titled "A Tribe Called Bliss", and she is just massively inspiring a lot of people. She grew up in an unhealthy, uninspiring home and it compelled her to go a radically different direction. She started off in the fitness world and ultimately  became a three time fitness world champion. She's been featured on the cover of the world's top fitness magazines as a model 18 times, and published articles in those mags as well. But all that to me seems a small beginning compared to where she's gone from there. She now has two million dollar businesses and is a self-proclaimed personal development junkie. Friends, I read and review a lot of books. Her's...I asked for more of. I took some home. My wife dove in and gave books to HER tribe. Lori has some powerful insights that I'll wager you will find yourself lacking in and massively empowered by Lori to pursue and conquer. Personally she got me looking yet again at my boundaries, or lack of, and how I deal with expectations in my relationships, so I...can have a healthier tribe. Ultimately Lori’s book and message is based off the  concept that you become who you are surrounded with! That you become the sum of the 5 people you are closet with!

In this show we hear a message from Zig Ziglar on a tough circumstance that create negative results. And...how it was turned around. Only...by changing attitude and perspective. And when attitude and perspective change, actions and behavior changed...and so did the outcome. It’s a powerful message. From it I asked this question on Facebook, "What is something in your life right now, you have been blaming? And if you let go and took responsibility for your own feelings and actions, would be freeing?" Or if you have a past experience with this, please share. Of course people did...share. It was tremendous. I had Michelle Prince join me to talk through the responses, you’ll get much from this show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We hear a clip from Zig Ziglar on the power of words. From it I posted this question on my Facebook page, "When and how is it ok to speak negatively about another person?". Folks, every response was...profound. Seriously. This question was about the best use of Facebook I’ve ever, ever experienced. Tom Ziglar joined me to talk through the comments. You will be...convicted, I very much believe, as this is a very, very real issue we all deal with, daily. And how WE respond, massively impacts our lives. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let’s talk about gifts. Nope, not your giftings as in talents and abilities, but literal...gifts. But the point is building relationships and standing out. It’s building social capital. It’s loving and caring for other people. John Ruhlin is our guest and he’s on the show because...he wowed me, as he has a sea of other people. Truly. He gifted me beyond the point of just feeling reciprocity, but I felt known and cared for. From it we’ve developed a friendship and will do more business, and hopefully life, together. I mean, hey...here I am telling the world about him! I brought him on folks, because I truly wanted you to hear his message, so you could increase your success as a result. His personal story of how he came to be the most known gift giver and business producer for some of the biggest names in business, like Jeffrey Gitomer, Keith Ferrazzi, Raymond James, Keller Williams, the Chicago Cubs and even Caesars Palace, and more, is tremendous.  The point is to help you stand out, grow your relationships and increase business in one of the  most fun and profitable ways ever...wowing people with giving. When I asked John what he most wanted to impart to the Ziglar audience, he said, “I want to inspire people to be radically generous with all their relationships. I want business leaders to be aware that if their clients are not actively sending them referrals, they have a loyalty problem.”  And folks, let me tell you, he does...just that. He’s got a great, free gift for you in a document…”The 10 Worst Gifts to avoid giving key clients” at www.thegiversedge.com.
