My friend, Zig Ziglar, has a way with words. He said,”When I speak, people will occasionally say…’Zig, I loved your talk, but for me, motivation doesn’t last!’ I always tell them…bathing doesn’t either. That’s why I recommend it daily.”
What a great quote! I’m often amazed that some people think that because I am who I am, I must have a great attitude at all times. “You started Successories. You couldn’t possibly have a negative thought!” Well, here’s a confession. One of the main reasons I started Successories is that I saw the need for continuous reinforcement in my life and in others when it comes to attitude, goals, and values
| In a perfect world, we hear something once, record it in our brain, and never need to hear it again. Well, I don’t know where you’re living, but my world is far from perfect. I occasionally have doubts, fears, and disappointments in my life. During those times I need “shots of inspiration” to reinforce, to encourage, and to motivate.Here’s a secret. My #1 resource for that “quick boost” when I’m feeling down is a little book titled Motivational Quotes. I don’t know about you, but for me, the right quote at the right time can turn the switch from “off” to “on.” And, that’s exactly what Motivational Quotes provides for me…an “a-ha” moment when I need it most. As most of you know, I love quotes, and in this little book I share my all-time favorites.
In fact, this is the book that inspired me to start Successories. In 1985, my love of quotes encouraged me to publish a small, 80-page quotation book that I called Motivational Quotes. At first, it was offered as a corporate gift, but then we decided to sell it on a plastic easel next to the register, in hotel and airport gift shops. Little did I know what was about to happen. Sales exploded! We couldn’t print them fast enough and over the next 18 months, we sold 800,000 copies. The light bulb went off when I discovered that many people love quotes as much as I do. I began to wonder…would they want to put quotes on their walls? With this thought, the “big idea” for Successories was born. Our theme, in the beginning was…Decorate your walls with great ideas. And I’m pleased to say that millions of customers did just that! Twenty-five years have passed. The book you see on this page is the new, improved, updated version of Motivational Quotes. It still has my 80 favorite quotes that I introduced in 1985, but I’ve added 80 more that, since then, have helped to motivate me in good times and bad. Here’s how you can make it work for you. Just keep it visible on your desk at work, and whenever you’re feeling a little down (for whatever reason), just pick it up and read 10 quotes. It’ll only take a minute, and I’ll guarantee that you’ll feel better. This beautiful little book makes a treasured gift for any occasion. There is no one that I know that doesn’t need an occasional “shot of inspiration.” For more information or to look inside this great book, just click here. Make sure to share this email with your friends, family and co-workers. They’ll thank you for it! All the Best, |

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 Days A Year , 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.

It’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s how you respond to what happens to you that makes the difference.” -Zig Ziglar

Inspiration 365 Days A Year
From: Simple Truths
Fortunately, problems are an everyday part of our life. Consider this: If there were no problems, most of us would be unemployed. Realistically, the more problems we have and the larger they are, the greater our value to our employer.
Of course, some problems are small, like opening a ketchup bottle. Others are monumental like a seriously ill or injured child or mate, which present ongoing, daily complications. Successful living comes when we learn to handle those business and personal problems with as little fanfare as possible. The successful business executive can handle challenges and solve problems at a remarkable clip. He/she makes quick and final decisions as a result of years of experience. The homemaker with small children at home handles many “catastrophes” each hour with the same dispatch.
Many people use counter-productive methods to deal with problems: They refuse to recognize them, deny responsibility for them, pretend they will go away if they ignore them, or are just flat insensitive to them. The first step in solving a problem is to recognize that it does exist. Next, we determine whether the problem is our responsibility. If the answer is yes, we must determine how serious and/or urgent it is. When that last determination is made, we either take immediate action if the problem is simple and quickly solvable or develop a plan of action and prioritize it if the solution is more difficult and time-consuming.
Problem-solving becomes a very important part of our makeup as we grow into maturity or move up the corporate ladder. I encourage you to take the time to define the problem correctly, learn the skill of quick analysis and remember, if it weren’t for problems in your life, your position might not be necessary in the first place. Ironing out the wrinkles and solving the problems is what most jobs are about. Think about it, and I’ll SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
Zig Ziglar is known as America’s motivator. He is the author of 27 books and numerous audio and video recordings.
