What are the healthy habits of a professional listener? Though Oscar Trimboli actually says he’s not, he’s striving like we all are. But he’s a professional listening teacher at the least! This is our Habits show where we walk through the 7 spokes on the Ziglar Wheel of Life, this time with...Oscar Trimboli, our guest in show 651 where are topic was Deep Listening. I just received a requested case of his little book, Deep Listening, to give to those closest to me. I’d really, really encourage you to get yours, go to oscartrimboli.com. Of interest to me, in discussing Oscar’s personal habits, as you heard in the intro clip, he realizes that a person he often needs to listen to, is...himself. He also talks about his interest in photography, which he perceives as another form of...listening. You’ll be intrigued to hear all the habits of this deep thinker. 

What is the primary enemy of your ongoing peace?

Do you hear me? Do you hear anyone?

The answer is more important than you’d think. I’m bringing you a two minute clip from Zig Ziglar today on, retirement. I’ll preface by admitting what he says is somewhat controversial. But the point massively valid regarding retirement, if that is your goal and expectation. So I simply asked this question on my personal Facebook page, “Do you look forward to retiring? Why or why not?” Quickly there were over 60 comments, and two distinct sides. The comments were all valuable enough that I changed my format and instead of having one of my regular co-hosts with me, I’m going to read through a majority of the comments, then simply pose some questions to you...and leave you to ponder your own perspective and desire. This will be an interesting show. And as it’s relevant to so many, I’d ask you to share it with others who you feel it would be of value to.

Do you feel you are enough?

Do you see it coming?! In this show I harken back to show 643 with Carey Nieuwhof where we discussed his message, “Didn’t See It Coming”, Overcoming the 7 Greatest Challenges That No One Expects and Everyone Experiences. We got a lot of great feedback on that show, and realized that half the battle, or more, is simply becoming aware! Thus the title of his message, “Didn’t see it coming.” So I wanted to hear from you, your real life stories. So I asked this question on Facebook:From the list below, which area, that everyone experiences to a degree, do you feel is most challenging for you, and why?And this is the list of the 7 greatest challenges from Carey’s book:CynicismCompromiseDisconnectionIrrelevancePride and NarcissismEmptinessBurnoutThe responses were incredibly candid, and while diverse...overlapping. Michelle Prince joined me to talk through as many of the comments as we could. We were touched and inspired.
