The Circle of Gumption – Cultivating Gumption

Zig Ziglar Said, “I Believe Man was designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” Kenneth O’Neal carries this tradition forward in his work and podcast, The Circle of Gumption, showing how maximizing your God-given talents and abilities leads to a successful, well-balanced existence in all areas of life. Join co-hosts Tom Fox and Kenneth O’Neal as they explore The Circle of Gumption to help change your life mentally, spiritually, physically, financially, and professionally by improving the health of your relationships with others and yourself.

Join Tom Fox and his guest, Kenneth O’Neal, on the Circle of Gumption podcast to gain insight into this powerful word of gumption. Tom and Kenneth interpret gumption as resourcefulness, resilience, and common sense. They discuss the benefits of treating others with humility and listening actively. With time management and effective communication skills, they teach their listeners how to achieve a well-balanced life. They discuss how their program helped students achieve their academic goals, enter the military academy, and create a successful life plan. All this and more can be found in the podcast, the Circle of Gumption Facebook group, weekly webinars, and their book. Take advantage of this opportunity to join the gumption movement and make your life extraordinary.

Here are three tips to help you adopt gumption:

1. Stay Positive: When faced with a setback, it is easy to get discouraged. However, maintaining a positive attitude can develop the resilience needed to overcome obstacles.

2. Be Proactive: Don’t wait for a problem to arise, be proactive and anticipate potential challenges. This way, you can develop contingency plans and be better prepared to handle difficult situations.

3. Never Give Up: Keep moving forward, even when things get tough. Remember that setbacks are a natural part of the journey; every failure is an opportunity to learn and grow.

Check out the Circle of Gumption podcast if you want inspiration to develop your gumption.

Quote: “Gumption to me growing up was close to the word pluck. And what I mean by that is it would stick to it-ness. It was if you get knocked down, you get up. It’s different from grit.” – Tom Fox.

We highly recommend tuning in to this episode to hear Kenneth O’Neal’s inspiring story of turning adversity into a life of purpose and action.

The Circle of Gumption – From Dastardly D’s to Gumption: How Kenneth O’Neal Turned Adversity into Opportunity

Zig Ziglar Said  “I Believe Man was designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.” Kenneth O’Neal carries this tradition forward in his work and in this podcast, The Circle of Gumption, as he shows how maximizing your God-given talents and abilities leads to a successful, well-balanced existence in all areas of life. Join co-hosts Tom Fox and Kenneth O’Neal as they explore The Circle of Gumption to help change your life mentally, spiritually, physically, financially, and professionally by improving the health of your relationships with others and yourself.

In the inaugural episode of the Circle of Gumption, Tom Fox sat down with guest Kenneth O’Neal to discuss his unique approach to personal development. O’Neal, a former certified public accountant, shares his experience of going through a black swan event – his wife of over 25 years told him she wished to part ways. In response to this upheaval, O’Neal went on a journey of reflection, studying, and praying, which led him to Zig Ziglar.

He eventually went on to create a program called “Gumption,” inspired by Ziglar’s teachings, which emphasizes the importance of taking action and overcoming fears to achieve success. Here are three tips we took away from O’Neal’s inspiring story:

1. Don’t let adversity hold you back. O’Neal’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and perseverance. When life throws you a curveball, it’s important to reflect on where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go.

2. Embrace fear and take action anyways. One of the core principles of O’Neal’s Gumption program is the importance of taking bold action, even in the face of fear. Don’t let fear paralyze you – use it as a motivator to push yourself forward.

3. Seek out mentors and inspiration. O’Neal’s journey was greatly influenced by the teachings of Zig Ziglar and the community at his corporation. Finding like-minded individuals who can offer guidance and inspiration can be instrumental in achieving personal growth and success.

We highly recommend tuning in to this episode to hear Kenneth O’Neal’s inspiring story of turning adversity into a life of purpose and action.
