Zig Ziglar passes away
Zig Ziglar — one of the most well-known public speakers in the world — has passed away today.
The first time I ever heard Zig, he was – as usual – telling a story about “that red-head of mine”, his wife. (Listen, sometime, to his story about how his wife ‘sold’ him on getting a new house. “The bedroom is so big we’re going to need a riding vacuum cleaner.”)
And one of the best quotes I ever learned from Zig Ziglar was “You will get all you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want.”
Zig got his start in the business world as a door-to-door cookware salesperson. Some of the funniest stories I’ve ever heard about selling were from Zig. He had a great way of delivering a powerful message….but he was also had a self-deprecating personality that made him likable and charming.
He was an entrepreneur, a speaker, a teacher and a respected family man. He’ll be missed.
Rest in Peace, Zig.
“You will get all you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want.” Zig Ziglar.
