While typing away for a few clients, I was listening to some good old Zig Ziglar stuff, which I hadn't listened to for a while, but man is he ever the best.

I’m a huge fan. God rest his soul, he’s since passed, but his material is priceless and timeless.

The phrase that triggered this newsletter was this:

“If I choose to overeat today, I choose to be overweight tomorrow.” Zig Ziglar

Talk about cutting to the chase. That's such a good phrase to repeat to yourself over and over...

Have you ever lost 1000...

Are you in or are you, well, in?
