Zig Ziglar

Zig Ziglar’s Key Accomplishments Include . . .
Zig Ziglar is an all-American success story. Affected early in life by his father’s death, young Zig learned great compassion for people plus commitment to a hard-work and balanced-life ethic, at the knee of his highly principled mother.

Ziglar's motto is: "You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” Implementing this precise principle, businesses and organizations throughout the world have grown more profitable by improving their number-one resource—their people.

A talented author and speaker, Zig Ziglar has an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture, and occupation. Since 1970, he has traveled over five million miles across the world delivering powerful life improvement messages, cultivating the energy of change. Mr. Ziglar has shared the platform with such distinguished Americans as Presidents Ford, Reagan, and Bush, Generals Norman Schwarzkopf and Colin Powell, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Paul Harvey, and Dr. Robert Schuller, as well as numerous U.S. congressmen and governors. A well-known authority on the science of human potential, Zig Ziglar has been recognized three times in the Congressional Record of the United States for his work with youth in the drug war, and for his dedication to America and the free enterprise system.

Speaking the language of active business leaders, he's been featured in such publications as The New York Times , The Washington Post , the Dallas Morning News , and Fortune magazine, to name a few. Mr. Ziglar has also appeared on many television programs.

More About Zig Ziglar . . .
Ziglar did not inherit his professional status, nor was it an accident. After struggling early in his sales career, this Yazoo City, Mississippi, native paid the price of time, discipline, and energy to become a sales champion. He placed second in one national firm of over 7,000 and first in another company with a 3,000-plus sales staff.

In 1970, he launched his full-time speaking career and built a multi-million dollar corporation on the same philosophy he expounds to his audiences--hard work, common sense, fairness, integrity, commitment, and an infectious sense of humor.

Since 1970, an extensive array of Ziglar audio, video, books, and training manuals have been utilized by small businesses, Fortune 500 companies, U.S. Government agencies, churches, school districts, prisons, and non-profit associations, affecting lives in a profound way. In addition, Mr. Ziglar has written 12 celebrated books on personal growth, leadership, sales, faith, family, and success, including See You at the Top, Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World, Top Performance, Courtship After Marriage, Secrets of Closing the Sale, and Over the Top. Nine titles have been on the best-seller lists and his books and tapes have been translated into over 32 languages and dialects. Something to Smile About was released in 1997 and Success for Dummies was released in 1998.

"Prison Fellowship in North Carolina has found the Zig Ziglar training materials to be an invaluable component of the Reentry Life Plan program to prepare prisoners for a successful reentry back into their families and communities. Some of the graduates are now using the Zig Ziglar materials to teach their children. The recidivism rate among the Reentry program graduates who have returned to society is 6% versus a rate of 40% for non-graduates in North Carolina.

After thirty years, I still listen to Zig's tapes every day. Some days it's several times, as the training and inspiration take on different meanings as situations change. As the CEO of several companies, a powerful, positive attitude reinforced with solid skills training is everything. Listening to you every day guarantees the right skills plus a fit mental attitude. You have also emphasized to keep mentally and physically fit and that we need to live a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle.
