Zig Ziglar

You can start where you are with what you’ve got and go to wherever it is you want to go.

Don’t count the things you do, do the things that count.

Where you start is not as important as where you finish.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination.

You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.

The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist.

I am a visceral person by nature. I act on instinct, quickly, without pondering possible disaster and without indulging in deep introspection.

The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now.

True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits him or her.

I’m competitive, and I love to create challenges for myself. Maybe that’s not always a good thing. It can make life complicated.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

It’s always good to be underestimated.

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability.

When obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.

Isn’t it amazing how much stuff we get done the day before vacation?

I’m constantly amazed that owners and managers of all businesses don’t train their people to call the person who pays by credit card by name. It definitely makes the customer feel good and will be a factor in bringing them back to your place of business.

You can make just about anything of your life-anything you will believe or will visualize, anything you will pray for and work for. Look deeply into your mind. Amazing wonders are there. Whatever the situation may be, you can improve it.

Sometimes understanding other people’s problems is the key to finding opportunities.

Thinking expansively includes seeing what is possible and making it happen.

Money won’t make you happy… but everybody wants to find out for themselves.
