Hilary Hinton “Zig” Ziglar is an amazing American author, salesperson, and motivational speaker. Ziglar was born in Coffee County, Alabama as the tenth of twelve children.
Ziglar eventually became a salesman and worked for several different sales companies. During this time his sales skills grew as did his desire to become a motivational speaker.
In 1970, Ziglar decided to become a full-time motivational speaker. Up until this point he’d gone by the name, Hilary Ziglar, but he decided to call himself “Zig,” as he was referred to by his sales associates (and it stuck).
Ziglar has been very successful, and still travels, taking part in motivational seminars.
7 Must Read Lessons from Motivational Speaker Zig Ziglar:
1. Motivation is Critical
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”
Never underestimate the power of motivation. Every morning I listen to motivational audiobooks, this time of inspiration and motivation gives me the boost to be successful throughout my day. The world is filled with negativity; it’s important that you get your “motivational fix” daily!
2. There Will Always be Little Men
“Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds.”
There will always be critics, there will always be people saying, “How you can’t, why you can’t, and how you’re going to fail when you try.” There will always be “little men,” and it’s not that they intend to do you harm; they just can’t fathom “big things.” They live in a “little world,” …so never try to force a million dollar idea, in a $10/hour brain, it just won’t fit.
