Zig Ziglar

Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength.

Andy Andrews is the best speaker I have ever seen.

Motivation gets you going and habit gets you there.

It might interest you to know that the 1828 Noah Webster Dictionary identifies the optimist in complimentary terms, but says nothing about the pessimist. The word ‘pessimist’ was not in our vocabulary at that time. It’s a modern ‘invention’ which I believe we should ‘dis-invent.’

The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.

When you are truly interested in other people, you will learn what they are interested in and if they have a need for your product. If they like you, and most people like folks who take an interest in them, they’ll help you find people who do need what you have to sell, even if they don’t.

I’ve always taught that a poor economy is the best opportunity for salespeople because the naysayers and grumblers have already given up, leaving more territory, more opportunities to be successful than in a good economy when virtually all salespeople are out there, giving it their best.

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

Great people do things before they’re ready.

You’re a fighter. Look at everything you’ve overcome. Don’t give up now.

I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: if you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. Most people think small, because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage.

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give them yours.

The world’s most deadly disease is hardening of the attitudes.

Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.

There will be times when your best isn’t your good enough. There can be many reasons for this, but as long as you give your best you’ll be OK.

It isn’t what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it.

People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value.

I’d be foolish not to take some of these opportunities that are coming my way.

Yes, we can

Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable.
