Zig Ziglar died yesterday, November 28th 2012, at the age of 86. One of the greatest sales leaders and motivational speakers of all time, Zig built a following of millions anchored in a publishing and speaking empire that spanned continents. I hear he was a pretty good guy all around.
Zig Ziglar wrote, "Remember that failure is an event, not a person."
Doesn't that just capture the whole essence of failure??
