Way More Than a Few of My Favorite Zig Ziglar Quotes

Zig Ziglar was a great salesman, motivational speaker, and author. I discovered him as a member of Morning Coach. I got all of these quotes from my favorites list in my Zig Ziglar Daily Dailypedia App. Zig's book 'See You at the Top' is course material for the 12-week Motivation 101 course, with Morning Coach Membership, which I will be reading once I'm through with Wealth 101.

Zig himself passed away in 2012, his son Tom Ziglar and the Ziglar family help keep Zig's wise and inspirational messages and training alive today. The Ziglar family hosts Life-Changing Programs, and their website has even more great Ziglar Quotes.

I'm also considering reading Zig and Tom's book 'Born To Win; Find Your Success Code' in the future, just took a look inside on amazon. The first image below is the cover of another one of his books 'Great Quotes from Zig Ziglar', which would be a nice book to have around.
