You know over the last two months, I have said several times that our 2018 BGI Systems “Get on Track” Super Conference was one of, if not the BEST in our 10-year history!
Tons of agency owners just like you ordered these video and audio recordings, plus got 2 free tickets to BGI’s next Super Conference in Atlanta set for the first weekend in February 2019. Mark your calendar.
During the stress of the humdrum buzz of day-to-day life it’s easy to find yourself concentrating on whatever’s weighing you down, distracting you from everything else going on around you.

I want to share with you a story that I read online the other day that really helped me focus on becoming the type of person that I want to be – a positive and compassionate individual.
In the story, a man living in a remote area in a small country travels to a local village to speak to a wise man.

In 2007, I got to meet the late GREAT Zig Ziglar at a marketing conference in which he was one of a few “headliner” speakers.
The day before he was scheduled to speak I saw Zig in the hotel restaurant.
Hi,
I’d like to discuss one topic that I’m hearing less of today than say, 5 years or so, but it still comes up quite a bit.

Sometimes I hear from our agency owner members, “some people in my agency give up too soon and go back to what they deem to be a safer job. What do I do to convince them to stay and not give up?”
