Has anyone gone to this get motivated seminar? - Zig Ziglar - 02-14-2009, 04:20 PM


I got this flier in the mail about this special seminar coming to Lubbock. It has Rudolph Giuliani - The tenacity to persevere: How to make it through any crisis
Zig Ziglar - How to stay motivated
Rick Belluzzo - Business skills - How to Manage, lead & Succeed
Tamera Lowe - Sales & Negotiation
Dr. Earl Mindell - Health & Fitness
Dr. Robert Schuller - Inspiration - Tough times never last but tough people do.

This full day seminar is only $4.95...which makes me think you would be sitting though a whole day of them trying to get you to buy something. Anyone know anything about this?

Ziglar is one of the original motivational sales speakers. Must be older than dirt but he's been very successful. Dr. Schuller, of course, if the pastor at the Crystal Cathedral. Looks like it is part of annual motivational tours, usually one aimed at men/everyone and there's often one aimed especially at women. My guess is that this is in the convention center and they're planning on thousands of people showing up. The admission gets you some good talks and they get a hyped up demographic to sell CD's and other stuff. The money is in the sales, not the motivational speeches.

Unfortunately Ziggy put me to sleep years ago in Omaha and I have never been motivated to return.

Attended this similiar seminar in Dallas at the convention center with Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, Jerry Lewis, it was very good. Wylie is correct thier pitch was selling CD's, finacial programs to monitor the stock market. For $4.95 it's well worth the experience.

I thought about going to these before but just couldn't seem to be able to get myself to go to it.

Commit to going if you are (or want to be) committed to yourself. While there are pitches on various additional products, I've attended in the past and found them beneficial, as did coworkers. I have had the opportunity to come to know both Zig and his wife Jean, and found them off stage to be some of the best people I have ever come to know. And, yes, Zig is 82.
