Zig: The Autobiography of Zig Ziglar by Zig Ziglar

Description

Before he inspired millions, he was knocking on doors. Before Zig Ziglar became one of the most quoted motivational speakers in American history, he was a door-to-door cookware salesman in Lancaster, South Carolina. In this warm, candid autobiography, Ziglar tells the story of his own climb—from the tenth of twelve children in Depression-era Alabama to the founder of Ziglar, Inc. and the author of more than 30 books.

Written in his unmistakable down-home voice, the memoir moves from his early years in Yazoo City, Mississippi—where his father’s death left the family in hardship—through Navy service, his hard-won lessons as a WearEver salesman, and his rise as a faith-based speaker who inspired audiences worldwide. Along the way he shares the encounters, failures, and faith behind his famous philosophy: you can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

Zig is essential reading for salespeople, entrepreneurs, and anyone who believes character counts more than closing—humor, humility, and hard-won wisdom from a man who inspired millions.
