RR 220: Barry Barrett & Tom Ziglar

Tom Ziglar in his own words.
I have been working here 50 years (my whole life, but “officially” only 28 years)! Dad made sure I learned the business from front door to back, so I started in the warehouse, then on to production, sales, sales management, seminar promotion, and then as CEO for the last 20 years. Now I work with the best team in the world with the best customers in the world, and if you’re not careful, when you come by the offices you will find yourself officially adopted into the Ziglar family! I have a beautiful wife and daughter. I enjoy social media and I love speaking to people all over the world.

My personal mission statement: “My mission is to help you become significant by equipping you to help others become significant.” This mission is why I love our Ziglar Legacy Certification program. My favorite Zig quote: “Son, God don’t make no junk, and thanks to your mother, neither do I!” I hope to meet you someday, and if you are ever in Plano, Texas, on a Monday morning, I invite you to join us at our Monday Morning Devotionals. I am proud to say our guests always outnumber us, so you will fit right in.

As so many have known Zig Ziglar one of America’s most influential and beloved encourager and believer that everyone could be, do and have more, founded the Zig Ziglar Corporation in 1977. He influenced an estimated quarter of a billion individuals through his 33 books, including the bestseller See You at the Top, which has sold almost two million copies.
