Greetings!  

     

goal settingWe dedicate this month's newsletter topic to Mr. Zig Ziglar, the master motivator.

 

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ziglar in person at a motivational workshop held in Charlotte.  His many years of leadership have been an inspiration for countless nonprofit executives.

 

What is the leadership like at your organization?   Is your enthusiasm for your mission diminishing?  Is your team achieving and exceeding its goals? Do you need to top grade within your staff and hire enthusiastic leaders? 

 

We've helped nonprofits from coast to coast hire the best talent to reach new heights.  Call us for a confidential overview.  Our recruiting efforts can bring effective leaders who make all the difference; leaders who not only set goals but get them accomplished!

 

Sincerely,

10 Steps to Goal Getting

by Zig Ziglar

 

1. Make the commitment to reach your goal. "One person with a commitment is worth a hundred who only have an interest." Mary Crowley.

2. Commit yourself to detailed accountability. Record your progress toward your goals every night, and list the six most important things you need to do the next day. Daily discipline is the key to reaching your goals.

3. Build your life on a solid foundation of honesty, character, integrity, trust, love, and loyalty. This foundation will give you an honest shot at reaching any goal you have set properly.

4. Break your intermediate and long-range goals into increments.

5. Be prepared to change. You can't control the weather, inflation, interest rates, Wall Street, etc. Change your decision to move toward a goal carefully--but be willing to change your direction to get there as conditions and circumstances demand.
 

Stay tuned ... Goal Getting Tips 6 - 10 in tomorrow's email.

Testimonial
 

                     May 2011

  

Dear Jim,
 

I just wanted to take a moment and write you a note of thanks.  As you know, we struggled for months to fill these very important development positions for our organization.  I am thrilled that we were able to work with you and end up with not just the two people we originally intended, but as you know we liked one of the candidates so much we hired a third.  

 

I appreciate your professionalism during this entire process and was particularly impressed on your thoroughness from the beginning all the way through to the end.  I would certainly be happy to recommend you and your firm to others as they look for quality talent in our field.

 

Best of luck as you move forward and I look forward to staying in touch.

 

With kind regards,
