Ask yourself this…

Dear John,

Tomorrow, enrollment will be closing for Thrive, a membership community from Ziglar Family, the new online community designed for families just like yours, to help you become the significant family that you were intended to be.

And you can become a part of the Thrive community for just $1! Yes, you read that right.

Dad was a huge advocate for self-reflection, checking in with yourself for a status report. He said, “You cannot solve a problem until you acknowledge that you have one and accept the responsibility for solving it.”

With that in mind, I have a few questions for you.

Now, I’ve got to warn you—these questions may make you feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, when most people try to answer these, they initially get a little defensive.

But all I want you to do is read the questions, and then take a deep breath and be honest with yourself.

So are you ready?

Here we go...

Where will your family be a year from now if you fail to take intentional action to change your status quo?

This can be a scary thing to think about.

What does more of the same look like? More chaos? More stress? More mediocrity? More guilt?

If the thought of another year stuck in the same traps scares you, then you need a proven way out.

Will you still be working harder than ever with little time or energy left for those you love?

I’m sure you’ve had those days where you know deep down that your interaction with your family is not what it should be simply because you’re exhausted after a long day at work.

And then you feel even worse knowing that your co-workers get your best, while your family — who you deeply love — gets the leftover.

You need some strategies to balance the work/home dynamic before it completely falls apart.

Will your family still be struggling to connect with each other, never feeling like you’re truly on the same page?

With busy schedules that keep everyone coming and going at different times, maybe not even spending 10 minutes in the same room on any given day, how are you supposed to connect?

And when you are in the same room, is anyone truly engaged, or is everyone nose down into their phones or tablets?

If you communicate more via text messages during the day than with actual conversation, you need to know how to change that dynamic and truly, intentionally connect with your family.

Will you still feel like you have little control over what happens under your own roof?

You’re trying to be a vigilant parent, but technology brings new threats every day that you may not even be aware of. Your kids download apps on a daily basis; do you have filters in place to control what they are accessing?

Do you even know what apps should be avoided? Do you know what websites your kids are accessing?

Chances are, you feel overwhelmed by it all and therefore have sort of given it up, hoping that your kids are making the right choices.

My guess is that by remaining where you are, you’ll still have the best of intentions for your family, but will fall short.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Whether your family is stumbling from one day to the next, overwhelmed by drama and chaos, or if you’re doing ok by most standards but know you could do better, nothing will change if you don’t take intentional action.

Dad said, “You cannot become what you need to be by remaining where you are.”

So wherever your family is right now, it’s time to reach for the next level.

You and I both know that change doesn’t “just happen.”

You CAN take intentional steps toward becoming a family that thrives.

If you don’t know how to do that, or if the efforts you’ve made in the past haven’t quite panned out, I encourage you to connect with other families who’ve been there, done that. Connect with a community that stands ready to provide you with the tools you need to launch on the journey to family legacy.

Just remember, tomorrow, April 13th, is the last day of enrollment, so if you’d like to be a part of the community, you’ll want to act soon.

Mark Timm, Ziglar Family CEO, wants all families to have the opportunity to thrive, so he is offering you the chance to enroll today for just $1!
