How to relate to your prospects

The legend - Guy Kawasaki. I just returned from Social Media Marketing World in San Diego and Guy was a featured speaker. The Ziglar team and I got to spend half an hour with him just to pick his brain and get to know him better. Guy has a big pedigree, he was the chief evangelist of Apple and a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. He is the author of The Art of the Start 2.0, The Art of Social Media, Enchantment, and nine other books. Guy has a BA from Stanford University and an MBA from UCLA. Today Guy is the chief evangelist of Canva, an online graphic design tool and a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz. He has over 10 million followers on social media and is just an incredibly unique individual. This show had a ton of value you can apply to your business, career, and life, and it had a lot of laughs. You will gain much from listening in.

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.

Some highlights: He’s a lifetime athlete but struggles with hip and knee issues. He’s cut way back on sugar, especially habits like downing a whole bag of red vines! His biggest family challenge is just too many activities. His mental regimen has three components, exercise, sleep, and silence. He attends mass every day for half an hour and feels it’s the best thing he does all day. In his career, he always wants to be taking some risks and not be found overprotecting the last, best thing. On the personal front, he’s terrible at taking time to do things he just enjoys and doesn’t nurture friendships enough. And he loves going to the movies. connect with Patrick at tablegroup.com/hub and find his new book “The Ideal Team Player” wherever you buy your books! Learn more about your ad choices.
