Zig Ziglar

Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation.

Selling is something we do for our clients – not to our clients.

The six people who had the biggest impact on my life were all women. Had I been sexist, my life would have been far less fulfilling.

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to step out and try.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

If you’re going to have to swallow a frog, you don’t want to have to look at that sucker too long!

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem.

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less.

My philosophy in life is this: if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.

‘Someday’ is the day after you die.

You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot in front of the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.

The problem is not getting rid of fear, but using it properly.

If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it

First comes the shy wish. Then you must have the heart to have the dream. Then, you work, and work.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.

Remember this: Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right.

Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Take time to be kind and to say thank you.
