Born
to Win Class Outline
1.
Life
is Tough but Rewarding
This
class is an introduction to the Zig Ziglar Born to Win program, which
is a series of classes based on Zig’s best selling
book, See You At The Top. This session
will introduce us to Zig’s philosophy, and introduce
the idea of his stairway to the top.
This is a motivational program designed to teach you attitude
improvement, goal setting and other aspects of personal improvement that will
allow you to achieve your definition of success!! Come join us to hear from the man himself
(via videotape) about how you can get to the top!
This
class continues the introduction to Zig’s Born to Win
program by teaching us about the foundation necessary to get to the stairway to
the top. Our objective in this class is
to understand fully the importance of a solid foundation. Without a solid foundation, it’s difficult to
identify the things in life we want, much less reach for them. The foundation stones as defined by Zig are: Integrity,
Character, Loyalty, Honesty, Love and Faith.
Join us in the class to learn more about these important personal
attributes, and therefore learn more about yourself!
In
this first of two sessions dealing with the first step to the top, the
importance of self-image will be explored.
We will demonstrate the importance of a healthy self- image, and
identify the causes of poor self-image.
We will also take a look at the manifestations of a poor
self-image. Developing a healthy
self-image creates confidence, which in turn allows productivity to increase
dramatically. This session will help you
accept yourself and see yourself as someone who truly deserves the good things
in life.
In
this second of the Self-Image sessions, we will explore the reasons that so
many people have a poor self-image, which will allow us to create a positive
action plan to correct these problems.
You will learn how to identify those with low self-image and encourage
them to develop healthy self-images. We
will provide many methods for improving your own and others self-images. This session should encourage you to choose,
and remain on the road to a healthy self-image, which is the first step to the
top!
This
session is a break from the stairway to the top, but also serves as an
introduction to the next segment, Your Relationship With
Others. Zig’s
story will illustrate his belief that you will get what you want if you help
enough other people get what they want!
We will learn to look for the good in others, and to compliment
sincerely, which is one of the greatest motivators of all time! You will learn that you can go farther than
you think you can if someone else believes you can. If Zig can do it,
so can you – and he’ll tell you how he did it in this informative session.
In
this session, Zig will show us how our relationships
affect our attitude. Our relationships
affect the creativity of those we work with, and also our own creativity and
accomplishments. Zig
will teach us to treat people the way we mine gold – we may have to move a lot
of dirt, but we will always look for the gold.
We treat people as we see them, so our relationships with others are critical
to us on our way to the top. Join us to
learn more about relationships with others and how we depend on them everyday
because life is an echo – whatever you send out, comes back!
In
this first of three goal setting classes, Zig will
sell us on having clearly written and defined goals. We must have goals in our professional AND
personal life to be truly successful, and Zig will
show us why most people never set goals.
He will also help us identify the types of goals we should have to get
what we want from life. The motto for
this session is: Go as far as you can
see, and when you get there, you will be able to see farther.
Now
that we have learned about the importance of setting goals, and how to actually
set them, we have to discuss the final issue in goal setting – reaching your
goals. Once you set a goal, write it
down and plan it out, you must follow the plan! There are times when it becomes important
to change your direction, without changing your destination. We will also learn WHO to share our goals
with, and what happens if you tell the wrong people. We will also discuss the idea that what we
get by reaching our goal is not nearly as important as what we become by
reaching them!
This
session will teach you that you can alter your life by altering your attitude! We will learn about being a ‘cat kicker’ and
how important it is to respond positively to negative situations. The right mental attitude is contagious and
if you want to catch it, you should go to someone who has it and become
‘exposed’ to it! We will learn to
identify some of the many characteristics of attitude, and learn the four steps
to getting out of a negative attitude.
Some other materials dealing with attitude will also be presented.
In
this session, we will learn how to get and keep a positive mental
attitude. We will learn about stinkin’ thinkin’ and hardening
of the attitudes, those dread diseases, and get a ‘vaccine’ to reduce almost to
zero the possibility of acquiring these diseases. The vaccine is actually a four step formula
which is very simple but produces outstanding results. We will learn to make a good attitude
subconscious, thereby making it a habit!
The
old saying ‘There ain’t no free lunch’ will take on new
meaning after this session! We will
cover the pump story – if you pump long enough, hard enough and
enthusiastically enough, the effort will bring forth the reward. And after the hard work, steady pressure will
maintain your position. We will learn the
difference between paying the price and enjoying the price. You must put something into life before you
can get something out of it, and we will reinforce that perception with this
session.
Desire
is the ingredient that enables a person with average ability to successfully
compete with those who have far more.
Desire leads to victory over yourself, because satisfaction comes with
knowing your have done your best. We
will learn about ‘intelligent ignorance’ and how to apply it to our goals and
life.
