What do people value the most? While it varies from person to person and is often different based on their stage in life, I believe there is a commonality.
When I was developing my first bestseller, Life Is A Series Of Presentations, way back, I met with my friend, Jan Miller. She is a book agent for dozens and dozens of bestsellers including Stephen Coveys’ The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Tony Robbins’ Unlimited Power. She told me nonfiction bestsellers fall into three basic categories that everyone wants: health, wealth, and relationships. Great advice. We all want successful results in all three areas. Right?
Turns out after decades of coaching, strategizing, advising, and investing with some of the world’s top CEOs and high achievers that business sure is a results game.
My late president, Jim Norman (Zig Ziglar’s president prior to me), said over and over to me that “business is a results contest” and he was also right … just like Jan. It’s amazing to me how experienced advisors are so often right. And so often can take a top performer to another level, yet not everyone chooses to double down on advice. The right advice matters (see my book Advice Matters).

Cheers to truly understanding! It’s about results.
One of my key concepts and the most liked of all my writings in over 30 years is the idea of “MOLO,” which stands for “More Of, Less Of.” MOLO is a powerful tool for ensuring clarity in an efficient, easy-to-utilize exercise. It involves identifying what you want more of and the things you want less of, and […]
