The Kevin Miller Podcast

Round two with Carrie Wilkerson, our esteemed guest in show 519 right before this one. We are walking through the 7 spokes of the Ziglar Wheel of Life with her and getting a behind the scenes glimpse at her personal, daily habits for success. Is she just wonder woman incarnate? Well, as you heard in show 519, she digs wonder woman. But no, she is not. She had no leg up more than you or me, but she had the desire and she did the work and she really, truly wants to help you and me. And it comes from daily habits. Some highlights, at 29 years old she was 5’2” and weighed 266 pounds. Today she’s 45 and is 150 lbs lighter. She believes her brain is her biggest asset and eats to feed her brain. She guards her sleep, especially before a speaking engagement. Financially she believes ‘upgrading’ is a disease we have to stop. She thinks multitasking is a myth and her personal vice is musicals.

Today we are talking about marriage, and specifically, the intentional investments for the success we make in our marriages. We will listen to a short clip from Zig Ziglar on stage, talking about marriage. From his message we asked folks at my agentkmiller Facebook page, “If you’re Married, would you share - What intentional investments do you routinely make into your marriage that help strengthen it?” We received more responses than on any other question I believe and was such a rich, rich talk I had with my co-host Michelle Prince to discuss what everyone shared. If you are married or intend to be, hear what is working for people! A note, you will hear me reference a quote from Zig in the show, that afterwards I contacted his legendary assistant Laurie Magers about, and she got me the correct quote, here is what Zig said: “I’m personally convinced our divorce rate would be reduced 90 percent if men and women delivered in marriage what they sold while courting.” Powerful.

A significant discussion for anyone desiring of, or contemplating a different job, career or business. My co host Michelle Prince and I asked this question on Facebook, “Is there a challenging area in your life where you are struggling to understand how you can change things for the better”. The responses were almost all around one issue, choosing and going after jobs, careers or businesses that are more fitting and rewarding. So we just made this the focus. If you are not in a job you love, if you are interested in going after self-employment, this show is power packed. The question came from a short message Zig Ziglar gave us, that I play at the top of the show. Thanks to BookBoundByTheSea.com and Ziglar On Demand for supporting this episode.
