527: Is your reality real? I think not.

Let us go behind the scenes with Lee Cockerell, our guest in show 525. Lee spent 10 years as executive vice president of Disney where he was in charge of the entire magical kingdom, many resort properties, and 40,000 employees! He gave us a great message, don’t miss that interview. But today we walk through his habits for success, going over the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life. Some highlights: He works to maintain the same weight he was in the army at age 20, and he’s 74 today. He has a Starbucks decaf every day, on no medication with great blood pressure. He spends a lot of time with family and stresses to his employees to never miss family time, not even for work! He views his brain as having malleable software and works with experts to help him manage and succeed. He grew up poor and feels it hardwires the brain. Today he is still frugal, driving a decade old car and relies on his financial advisors. Spiritually he needs to do more work, he says. He’s had some rough times, has been the bad guy and wants to be a better person. He built his career on discipline and empathy and admits he loves public speaking because he needs the “people clap”.

Imagine running Disney, numerous resorts, and 40,000 employees. Imagine barely making it out of high school, not having a college degree, having a hard upbringing with a mom who married and divorced five times. Being adopted twice. Having the only solid figure in your life being a grandmother who you were taken away from as a child. This is Lee Cockerell. In this candid interview he shares what helped him succeed, even as in his late 60s when his wife almost died, he suffered severe anxiety and depression. You do not expect the humility you will find here, from a guy who ran a small nation. You will be moved and motivated! Here is an interesting tidbit, in his book he talks about the value of staying in touch and accessible to people, and actually gives his personal phone number. Most people don’t believe it’s for real, but he gets calls! How cool is that?

Managing, controlling and changing your attitude; one of Zig Ziglar’s favorite and foundational topics! We play a 3.5 minute, classic clip from Zig Ziglar on changing your attitude, and from it I asked on my agentkmiller Facebook, page, “What are your primary tactics for changing your attitude when you get down, negative, angry, sad, fearful, etc.“ We received nearly 50 comments in less than 24 hours. Michelle Prince and I talk through the responses, and they went back and forth from logical to emotional, from exercise to prayer to comfort food. You will enjoy and get much from this dialogue!

Lewis Howes is the Best selling author of “the school of greatness” and his podcast of the same name is a top 100 on planet earth. Today we are talking with him about Masculinity. Why? Lewis claims the majority of stress, anxiety, and pressure men feel is due to the masks they wear. Think of it as certain personas we fall or buy into, and get trapped in. Then live from in a limited fashion. I feel the topic may not at first sound like something you’ll be excited to listen to. But the question is, do you HAVE any stress or anxiety? Do you feel any pressure? Would you like to be free of it? If that sounds attractive, then you should be ecstatic to listen to this discussion today. Do you wear the mask of know-it-all, stoic, aggression? And ladies, though the masks may be geared toward the guys, you have your own and will get great value here.

What is our potential? I think we’d all agree we have more in us. How much more? 5%? 30%? 70%? That answer is not as important as the reality that whatever potential we have, it will not add up to much if we don’t work hard at it. But in our natural skills, talents, and abilities, we find the potential for mastery. In areas we do not have many inherent giftings, it will be hard, if not impossible, to find that mastery. In this show, we listen to a short message from Zig Ziglar on finding your full potential. From what I asked my facebook page at ‘agentkmiller’, “What is a skill, ability, or talent you have, that you've worked hard to increase and grow?” The comments were significant and pointed to some truths about having potential, and clarified that they are near nothing until we grow and refine them.

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.
