When I first started in direct sales, Zig Ziglar’s articles, books and training were very influential in my success. To this day, I still enjoy reading his articles and quotes. I share quotes on a regular basis on social media and a good number of them come from Zig. He has helped so many people become better in business and life too!
Here are a few of my favorite Zig Ziglar quotes:
“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude”
“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”
“If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
“You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”
“I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can’t truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles.”
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”
“If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.”
“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”
“Your business is never really good or bad “out there” your business is either good or bad right between your own two ears.”
“You’ve got to say “no” to the good say “yes” to the best.”
“Other people and things can stop you temporarily. You’re the only one who can do it permanently.”
“Don’t be distracted by criticism.Remember-the only taste of success some people have when they take a bite out of you.”
“When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.”
RIP Zig Ziglar
