| |

Goal Setting
| |
| Studies tell us that only 3% of people in the USA set goals, and they are among the wealthiest people in the nation! Worldwide the percentage is probably lower. Why so low? There are several reasons, but the one that concerns us the most at Ziglar Training Systems is lack of know-how. When we ask people why they don't set goals they often say, "I don't know how." |

Building a Foundation for a Stronger Company: Hope, Unity and Purpose
| |
| Hope, Unity and Purpose. These are the foundational words that the future generations of corporate leaders are using to build better people, better products, better brands and better businesses in a changing world. Many companies like SHARP, GE, Whirlpool, OwensCorning and Shaw Industries are developing “eco and green” products that enable customers to achieve their goals toward sustainability and individual responsibility to reduce their footprint on the earth. These companies are the foundation by which a new economy is being formed, one that is more robust and transparent that its predecessor; and one that is responsive to the needs of a global society. |

| |
| Of all the major business disciplines, sales has remained the corporate stepchild, receiving scant or no attention from universities, business schools, senior executives and the financial press. However in the United States and Europe a small number of pioneering universities are offering degrees in Sales and the results are outstanding. The combination of traditional academic input combined with internships is producing a new breed of young salespeople who are financially savvy and equipped with high level selling skills. |

3.1 Skills development for sustainable livelihoods: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| It is a commonplace in debates about how to reduce poverty to assert
that poor people’s main or only asset is their labour. It seems obvious that
training has a critical role to play in improving productivity, incomes and
equitable access to employment opportunities. Yet a striking feature of most
poverty reduction strategies in developing countries is that the vocational
education and training component is largely absent. |
