Quixtar's Don Wilson - Zig Ziglar Favorites

Zig Ziglar is a name known by most. He is one of the top motivational speakers and many have grown and been inspired by listening to him live and on tape. These are some classic Zig quotes that I wanted to share. I hope you enjoy them...

Don Wilson Amway - Growing from Zig Ziglar

"Success is not a destination, it's a journey."

"The most practical, beautiful, workable philosophy in the world won't work - if you won't."

"The basic goal-reaching principle is to understand that you go as far as you can see, and when you get there you will be able to see farther."

"You are the only one who can use your ability. It is an awesome responsibility."

"If we don't start, it's certain we can't arrive."

Quixtar's Colombo DiSalvatore - Quality Reading

I agree with Colombo DiSalvatore.  We often talk about the importance of reading.  But WHAT we read is as important as HOW MUCH we read.  It is important that we develop the habit of reading quality books that cause us to think like Colombo DiSalvatore says here...

Colombo DiSalvatore, “There is a difference in quality of reading experiences. Popular novels of today would probably often be put in category as junk food for the brain, but literature that causes us to think and change for the better is the experience that Ralph Waldo Emerson describes.”

Colombo DiSalvatore – Wisdom of Reading Favorite

“A man who buys a book is not just buying a few ounces of paper, glue and printer’s ink; he may be buying a whole new life.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don Wilson & Nancy Wilson: Seed Of Opportunity

This is really great advice that Don Wilson and Nancy Wilson have shared...

Don Wilson, “Changes and challenges are a fact of life. We can run or whine or we can take the road less taken as Dr. L Scott Peck suggests. That road says we look for and grasp the opportunity that challenge or obstacle represents.”

Challenge is a dragon with a gift in its mouth…Tame the dragon and the gift is yours. - Noela Evans

Team Legacy's Don Wilson - Success Secrets

Thanks Don Wilson for sharing these thoughts on success...

One of the keys to success is learning from others who have already succeeded before you. If you want to be a doctor or even become a better doctor then it is important to learn from another doctor in your field. If you desire to become a better sales person, you should learn from others who are successful in sales in your field.

Gaining the wisdom of others is one of the biggest keys to success. Your own experience doesn't have to be the only teacher. Learn from the experience of others.

These are some great success tips from men who would certainly be considered to have been "successful."

Don Wilson - Learning from Others

"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all." - Peter F. Drucker

"The secret of success is constancy to purpose." - Benjamin Disraeli

"There are no gains without pains." - Benjamin Franklin

"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Don Wilson & Nancy Wilson: Duty and Destiny

Thanks Don for putting this together for us to read and learn from.  Reagan was such an awesome communicator!

Don Wilson and Nancy Wilson Favorite Reagan Words

You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, "There is a price we will not pay." There is a point beyond which they must not advance…Winston Churchill said that "the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits--not animals." And he said, "There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty."

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.

Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964, Time for Choosing

Colombo DiSalvatore Team Legacy: Work Ethic

Hard Work. It is an important part of success. Many times people are looking for the easy way to achieve something great. But there is a price to pay. Like my friend Orrin Woodward says, "Success never goes on sale." Don't be scared to do the work...

Colombo DiSalvatore, “Thomas Jefferson was a leader known for his wisdom and wit. This Jefferson thought is an excellent example of his commitment to hard work rather than depending on luck and this shows his wisdom.”

Colombo DiSalvatore and Karen DiSalvatore:

“I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” – Thomas Jefferson

Don Wilson: Small Business Owners Pleased

I agree here with Don Wilson.  Business ownership is where it's at!

Don Wilson, notes “The Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business poll found that most business owners would do it again in spite of the obstacles.”

Business Findings: Being a successful small business owner has many rewards. In fact, 83% of small business owners say they would do it all over again instead of doing something else. And, three in four say being a small business owner has been better for them financially than working for some other company in the same field.

However, becoming a successful traditional small business owner is not easy. According to those who have been successful in a traditional small business, one of the keys when starting out is to take the time to be better prepared. Save some money; ask for advice from other business owners, accountants, lawyers, and bankers; prepare a written business plan; and stick to that plan during the first few years as a new small business owner.
