Any real reward will come with some risk, and success today comes from innovation. Changes, however big or small, are amazing opportunities to make yourself stand out from the crowd and become a leader. It is that leap from the known to the unknown, though, that we struggle with and must overcome before we can claim that prize. Kupferberg’s quote comes from .Change is Good… You Go First In that book, you can read some practical ideas to deal with change, and get inspired to be creative. In fact, watch our movie to get a taste of the book: Do you feel inspired to change… or to be changed? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section!
After a speech one day, Zig Ziglar was approached by someone in the audience who said:
“Zig, it was a great speech, but…motivation doesn’t last.”
Zig said, “Bathing doesn’t either. That’s why I recommend it daily!”
Like me, Zig loves quotes and believes that the right quote can provide “a-ha” moments and can help to reinforce a positive attitude. Here’s what he said:
“Reading has been my fuel for motivation. If the “a-ha” I get when I’m reading is not already reduced into one or two sentences, I’ll take the essence of what I’ve read and chunk it into easily remembered bites of information. That information is what becomes “quotable.” You would not sit still for me to read every book I’ve ever read to you. But if you’re the least bit like me, you’ll jump at the chance to bypass all the churning and scoop the cream right off the top – that is what quotes are…the cream of our learning.”
To say I’m honored to publish a book of Zig Ziglar is an understatement. Sixty Minutes said, “He’s a legend in the industry. He’s the Bill Gates, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison of enthusiasm.” What I love about Zig, however, is his heart. His ability to help people realize their potential is unsurpassed and his belief that, “You can have everything you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want,” has been the foundation of all he’s accomplished.
The book we’ve created together, Inspiration 365, is one of the most beautiful we’ve ever published. It’s a 160 page, coffee table edition that will be a perpetual source of inspiration for years to come. It’s a collection of 365 quotes (each day of the year) from Zig himself, and many others that have motivated him over the years.

Inspiration 365 Days A Year
Oral Lee Brown was, for the most part an ordinary person. A former cotton picker from Mississippi and current real estate agent in Northern California, she made $45,000 and raised two children on her own.
What made this woman extraordinary was what she chose to do one day in 1987. She saw a young girl in her neighborhood begging for money. The next day, Oral went to the school the girl attended and found a first-grade class she “adopted”. By “adoption”, I mean that she pledged to personally pay for anyone who wanted to attend college! Brown lived up to her pledge: since that day, she has personally saved $10,000 a year and raised donations for her adopted kids.
Oral’s commitment demonstrates the good that can come from action. Lily Tomlin said it best with: “I always wondered why somebody didn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.”

Motivational Quotes
With 370,000 industrial workers, Japan has the most robots in the world. But even these tireless workers are not immune to the recession. A 40 percent decline in production in Japanese factories means many robots are dormant, while orders for new robots have fallen by almost 60 percent.
The upside (at least if you’re not a robot)? Employers are eliminating robot positions before laying off human workers.
