The first self help book I read a long time ago was See You at the Top (Formerly titled Biscuits, Fleas, and Pump Handles)

I met Mr. Ziglar in 1995 at a seminar. I had an old copy of Biscuits, Fleas and Pump Handles, his first book. He signed it for me.

"You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." Zig Ziglar

If everyone would follow this advice they wouldn't need any other business or life strategy.

R.I.P. Sir.

Sorry to hear this - he was an inspirational guy that helped blaze the trail many motivational speakers today follow in the footsteps of...

I think my first encounter with Ziggy was a seminar back in the 80's, and that statement always held weight with me - that is the key to motivation.

RIP Zig

Thanks

That's one of my favorite all-time quotes and probably my favorite Zig quote.

RIP Zig, thanks for all the lessons.

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

  It would be quite amazing if he could actually see all of the lives he impacted for the good!
  
  Hubby isn't as an avid reader as I am, but ate Zig's stuff up!
  
  My favorite quote of his is the same one that Travlinguy and Dennis quoted. How many lives have been touched by that in action, alone?
  
  Godspeed Zig!
  Great must be your reward!

  Thanks

Isn't it strange how some people just seem more immortal than others?

Zigs drawl and unmistakeable cadence rings true in my mind, at times when I need a little boost,
my subconscious ques up this Master.

Thanks Zig

OMG how sad. He was such a great man. I, myself, am just recovering from pneumonia and I am thankful I am getting better. This may sound crazy, but I did not know people still died from pneumonia.
