Dr. Alan Zimmerman, of Bonita Springs, Fla.-based Zimmerman Communi-Care Network, shared his three secrets (purpose, passion and process) for getting what you want out of life and work to Embassy members at the buying group’s annual shareholders meeting in Chicago in late August.
Zimmerman listed three key components in the purpose category: 1. Know what you really want. If you don’t know, the only other alternative is to settle for less; and that will burn you out or cause you to lose your spirit. 2. Live by what you value. “On their deathbed, no one ever said, ‘I wish I’d spent more time at the office,’” Zimmerman noted. 3 Walk your talk. Invest your time, money and energy in what you value or lose your self-respect as well as credibility with others.
