Here are a few personal takeaways I had gleaned from reading Over The Top by Zig Ziglar.
1) Hope is the result of planning your future, and is driven along by encouragement.
2) The building blocks of success are skills, attitude, and character.
3) You influence tomorrow by what you do today.
4) If you want your life to change, then change the plan for your life.
5) Achieving a goal comes from committing to it, and building the discipline to work at it.
6) The best leaders learn by following.
7) Your world is a reflection of your mindset.
8) A small step in the right direction is still progress.
9) Setbacks are an opportunity to get creative in achieving a goal.
10) More people are fired over personality conflicts than over incompetence.
11) The best dividends are from investing in yourself.
12) Money is not inherently evil. Prioritizing it over God and others leads to all kinds of trouble.
13) Sometimes, receiving the best means bypassing the good.
14) Every goal starts with knowing where you are.
15) Be selective with you share your goals with.
16) Those who live lives of giving appreciation are usually have an amazing quality of life.
17) A life of freedom results from a life of discipline.
18) You cannot really succeed on your own.
