ZigOn Better Than Good

As many of you know, I have more than ever to say. I feel like I'm just getting started! And that's why I've written Better Than Good-I've got some things to share with you that I believe will motivate you the same way they have motivated me.

I can't exactly remember when I said, "Better'n good!" the first time-but it was a long time ago. Being raised in the South and then living in Texas, I'd participated in exchanges like this thousands of times: "Hey Zig, how ya' doing?" "Good, good, how 'bout you?" Recognize those words? Nothing wrong with them, of course. They're just the colloquial way friends greet each other everywhere.

But at some point it dawned on me that "good" was not an apt description of how I was doing-or how any of us ought to be doing. If we're going to live life to the fullest we ought to be doing "better than good." So that's what I started saying, and still say to this day: "Hey Zig, how ya' doing?" "Better'n good! How 'bout you?"

The response has been amazing. People literally stop in their tracks to remark on my greeting. Some thank me for giving them a needed lift, others take my greeting and make it their own. The power of words should never be underestimated. Just saying you are better than good won't make it so. But, when you understand what it takes to live the better than good life, and you apply yourself, your life will truly be better than good.

There are three pillars to the "Better than Good" life: Passion, Peak Performance, and Purpose. I don't think anyone can stay motivated for very long in life without understanding all three of these concepts. And I don't think anyone will live a better than good life if he or she is not motivated to do so.

In essence, that brings me to the thesis of this book: The Better than Good Life is experienced by living with genuine passion, striving for peak performance, and fulfilling one's God given purpose. And I don't mind telling you up front: My goal is to motivate you to want to live that kind of life! I hope living that kind of life is your goal too. Get your copy of Better Than Good soon.
