BISCUITS, FLEAS, AND PUMP HANDLES

The iconic motivational expert gives a spellbinding talk about goals, commitment, integrity, and faith in one's resources. In a recording made when Ziglar was in his late 40s, he delivers nonstop aphorisms and stories in his unmistakable preacher's cadence. He's a master at projecting palpable good will and persuading his audience to embrace his ideals. Though Ziglar has offered this advice before, he gives it renewed power as he unfolds point after point with a vocal dynamism and confidence that few listeners will be able to resist. The core message is classic Ziglar: All of us can get to the top if we specify our goals, stay positive, and never waver in believing in our right to be happy and successful.
