The Kevin Miller Podcast

A new message from Zig Ziglarsss - son! Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar. It’s called the Trinity of Transformation. If you were just fine with your life as it is now and had no desire for any change, you wouldn’t be here listening now. We are all here because we want to be more, do more and have more. For ourselves and for others. Even if you have no personal desire for yourself and only want to help and serve others, you’ll get no further and be no help unless you better yourself. This requires...transformation. Here is who you are today, where do you want to be tomorrow? And that’s the point folks, anything you want to do and have first starts with who you are. You can’t do and have anything beyond who you are...and what you’re capable of. This is the root cause issue, and Tom brings us the 3 key ingredients he’s witnessed in his lifetime at the epicenter of personal development and human achievement. Zig Ziglar was the king and nobody saw him closer than Tom. This is powerful, equipping information.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is our habits show and we walk through the 7 spokes on The Ziglar Wheel of Life. Some highlights of Nick’s struggles and healthy habits: Physically he’s thankful for the holy spirit and caffeine! He only eats 2 meals per day, more veggies, but he’s an admitted carnivore. No sweets, bread or dairy. He and his family grow much of their food and live off their land. He had a pretty deep financial crisis and learned that just because you have a vision and resources from God, it doesn’t always mean you have to move forward right now. He has a 10 year plan that took him three hours to create, with help. And 3% of his life has to be a gamble! But he doesn’t invent, he innovates! It was rich, as you can tell. Nick has a new online course called “Rise Above” where he goes into further depth about how people can turn obstacles into opportunities and gives guidelines to overcome fear among other impactful topics.  The course gives people an opportunity to spend one-on-one time with Nick in their own home with over 3 hours of brand new content complete with workbooks and guided learning instruction.

A truly amazing, amazing man. We all come into or end up in this world with some challenges. Just because someone else’s challenges might seem bigger, it doesn’t negate our own. We all want to know how to deal with them better. With more joy, peace and success, right? Well, we have a guy who is flat out anointed in this area. Nick Vujicic was born with no arms and no legs. Stop and think about that for a minute. What could you do with no arms and no legs? What hope would you have. Yet Nick is one of the most sought after speakers on the planet, often getting 100 speaking requests per week. Literally. Why? Because he’s one of the most overcoming, inspirational people you will have ever heard. More than 10 million follow him on social media, and his Youtube videos have over 600 million views. But it’s real world stuff folks. He almost committed suicide. This isn’t some pollyanna face on hardship. I’d tell you more, but, trust me, you won’t want to miss this interview that Tom Ziglar and I had with Nick.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Zig Ziglar talks about positive thinking. We play a clip where Zig dispels the motivational statement of “you cannot do anything with positive thinking,” and gives some funny examples to prove the point. But, he then comes back with the truth that “you can do everything better with positive thinking than you can with negative thinking,” and of course drives home a convicting message. From this I posted on my agentkmiller Facebook page, where you are welcome to friend me so you can join in the conversation, “How do you balance positive thinking and optimism with literal hard circumstances and allowing yourself to feel negative emotions?” We wanted to really hear, because we are human and even with the truth in our face, life can still be difficult, especially in a challenging moment. As you can imagine, really in depth answers that we bet you’ll resonate with. Michelle Prince and Kevin Miller talked through the comments for a rich conversation.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Behind the scenes with Stu McClaren, our guest for show 558 where we talked about building a tribe, but today we’re here for our Habits show, following the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life. Some highlights: He’s a soccer fan and is almost always playing on a team or two. Being active with his young kids is a big part of his physical fitness regime. He started eating better for his kid’s sake! He’s big on managing family time amongst the entrepreneurial lifestyle and is a staunch proponent of Rules and Boundaries. Mentally Stu puts a high level of importance on having confidence in ourselves. He believes fear is like a muscle and you must work it out, so he’s routinely looking for things to do that stretch his fear muscle. Financially he loves being an  entrepreneur where you can make an  unlimited amount of money and feels the more money we make the more impact we can have. He and his wife have built 11 schools in Kenya that on average serve 4-700 kids. Personally he just loves creating experiences and celebrating others.

Stu McClaren is a primary mastermind behind connecting leaders with their audiences. Michael Hyatt has been wildly successful with his Platform University and Stu was his partner in creating it. Stu is about connection. Authentic connection. It’s hard to have a monopoly on any information and knowledge these days, but nothing can replace engagement and relationship. Stu coaches and consults New York Times best-selling authors, top-rated speakers, experts and niche celebrities on how to launch, grow and scale high-profit recurring revenue streams, primarily around profitable and fulfilling membership sites where the point is human connection and relationships. In the show we talk about Stu’s personal journey that brought him such huge success and why he’s now devoted himself in his work to helping people connect, and through that in his personal life, helping some of the least fortunate on earth, he and his wife build schools in Kenya. Stu is also the former founder of the world’s #1 membership platform for WordPress, WishList Member, where he had the chance to serve and support over 60,000+ online communities and membership sites.  Through that experience, he gained a unique insight into the subtle membership nuances that produce massive results.

Three minutes from Zig Ziglar where he talks about maintaining the right mental attitude. It’s a powerful message.

Tom Ziglar and host Kevin Miller then had a great conversation as they read through the comments.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Behind the scenes with Guy Kawasaki who we interviewed in our previous show, number 557. We follow the 7 spokes of the Ziglar Wheel of Life and find out Guy’s challenges and habits in the seven spokes. Some highlights: as you heard in the main interview, he’s a huge surfing fan and that’s a main thing he does to stay in shape. He’s resolved to not eat a french fry for three years or drink a coke for two! Family vacations are a big priority for his family health. He’s a Christian but doesn’t claim to be a great role model and separates God from religion. He attributes his career success much to luck, but he admits to working very hard and working a lot.

We listen to a presentation clip from our guide, Zig Ziglar. He’s talking about how to move from “reacting” to responding. From this, I posted on my facebook page at agentkmiller where so many of you keep friending me to join in the conversation, “What is something in your life that you used to “react” to, negatively, that now you are able to more positively “respond” to? For example, a relationship or circumstance (job, finances, handicap, etc.) that had a lot of negative control over your emotions.” You’ll be a bit surprised to hear some of the vulnerable things people shared, and Michelle Prince and I then talked through.  Learn more about your ad choices.
