The New Courtship After Marriage

In our hurried and self-centered culture, the real work required to keep love alive is often ignored. We live in an era where "We just don't love each other anymore" is considered grounds for divorce, and frequently the consequences of ending a marriage are minimized. We've all heard the overwhelming statistics.

Zig Ziglar recognizes the importance of building a relationship that can stand the test of time and the pressures from society to become a strong, firm foundation for the entire family. In The New Courtship After Marriage, Zig teaches couples how a warm, loving, respectful commitment can stay and even grow stronger throughout the years. Zig and his beautiful wife Jean ("the redhead" as he affectionately calls her) have been married for more than 50 years. In this audio book, Zig shares his personal experience, the ups and downs that he has encountered in his own marriage, and how these experiences have strengthened his marriage beyond what even he dreamed possible.

Zig's practical advice offers a positive alternative to the grass-is-greener thinking that permeates our culture today and that forces couples to give up when there is actually still much hope for their relationship. Zig teaches couples how to focus on their own marriage and invest themselves in simple, effective strategies that can make their marriage everything it was meant to be. Strategies that have stood the test of time and the stresses and pressures we all face day-to-day.

In this updated version of Zig Ziglar's Courtship After Marriage, you'll learn to:
* Build a foundation of pure trust through communication and love
* Settle differences fairly when arguments arise
* Ignite (or reignite) the spark in your sex life
* Give total support to each other through good times and bad
* Develop commitment to your spouse
* Find that true love is always there, right in front of you

The romance never has to fade. You don't have to settle for a mediocre marriage or figure that things will never change. Above all, you don't need to look elsewhere for happiness and fulfillment. You can make your marriage the one you always dreamed of.

Whether you've been married one year, five years, or 50 years, like Zig and Jean, The New Courtship After Marriage will show you that you can have it all. With a little work and a lot of love, you will discover or rediscover your best friend - your spouse. You'll find that you can have love that will last a lifetime.

Goals: How to Set Them...How to Reach Them
Let Zig Ziglar Take You to the Top!

"We can start today from where we are and make some changes that will make a very great difference."

In Goals, bestselling author Zig Ziglar presents his dynamic seven-step formula for clearly defining your immediate and long-term goals...and then realizing your dreams.

This step by step program is filled with inspiring stories from sports, business and science that demonstrate how to:

Begin with a set of specific written goals
Understand the reasons behind your ambitions
Identify the resources you need to achieve success
Develop a scheduled plan of action

How do you feel about yourself? Are you your own best friend? Are you truly getting everything from life you desire?

Unless you answered "yes" to that last question, there are areas of your life on which you'd like to do a little work. There are areas in which you could stand some improvement. And there are goals you'd still like to meet, ladders you'd still like to climb, and finish lines you'd still like to cross. You want to be a champion in life and reach all your goals.

Goals is classic Zig Ziglar. Putting a positive spin on this thing called life with his free wheeling style, he teaches that it's never too late to be the person you were meant to be.

"Man was destined for accomplishment. He was endowed with the seeds of greatness. The failure to recognize what our potential is means we're depriving ourselves of all that we could produce."

You'll learn how to work around obstacles and change your strategies without changing your vision; how to become a team player, how to master your time; and how to set goals for everything you want in life. Goals create motivation; motivation creates energy; energy helps make your dreams a reality. Take the first step toward reaching your aspirations and set your goals today!
 

 

 

 

 

How to Stay Motivated

A single word can change your life. Do you want to make more money? This word can help you create vast amounts of it. Do you want to be famous? This word can make you a big star. Do you want to be an effective leader, with influence over large numbers of people? This word can bring you more prestige and respect than you ever imagined.

How is it possible for one word to bring a person so many good things? How is it possible to reduce all the complexities of “making it” in life down to a single word?

Simple. This word is the cause of every achievement men and women have ever made. Let me explain by giving you an example:

A reporter once asked Arnold Schwarzenegger how he was able to reach the top in bodybuilding and as a Hollywood actor. Without hesitating, Schwarzenegger replied, “DRIVE!” That was all he said.

In fact, throughout history, the people with the most DRIVE have accomplished the most, earned the most money and respect, had the most luck, and garnered the most power.

The driven person always finds these things, even in the face of “insurmountable” obstacles. In fact, he or she often finds them immediately after overcoming such obstacles.

Since you’re reading this letter, I believe you’re already more driven than most of the population. Most people would have carelessly tossed this letter aside. But you’re reading because you’re smarter than they are - and more driven to succeed.

There are nuggets of gold in this letter - nuggets so valuable they can literally transform your life. If you have the right mindset, you’ll find each and every nugget.
