<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/208815/open_sms">Send us a text</a>Zig Ziglar changed my life when I was just 18 years old, and decades later, his wisdom continues to shape my approach to business and life. After borrowing a set of his cassette tapes from my girlfriend's entrepreneurial father, I became captivated by Zig's unique ability to distill complex success principles into actionable wisdom that resonates across generations. What makes Ziglar's teachings particularly valuable for online entrepreneurs is their perfect balance of simplicity and profound truth. Whether you're launching a dropshipping store, building a content business, or creating digital products, these five principles cut through the noise and address the core challenges that prevent most side hustlers from achieving their goals. The first principle—"you don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great"—liberates us from the paralysis of perfectionism. Too many aspiring entrepreneurs remain permanently stuck in the planning phase, waiting for the perfect moment that never arrives. The second principle reveals the secret to sustainable success: "you can have everything in life you want if you'll just help enough other people get what they want." When you shift your focus from what you can get to what you can give, your business transforms from a self-serving venture into a vehicle for meaningful impact. Ziglar's third teaching reminds us that "it's your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude." I've witnessed this repeatedly throughout my career—the most successful people aren't necessarily the most naturally talented, but rather those with resilience and a growth mindset. The fourth principle offers freedom from the weight of past mistakes: "failure is an event, not a person." By separating setbacks from your identity, you can extract valuable learning without crushing your confidence. Finally, Ziglar's observation that "motivation doesn't last—neither does bathing, that's why it's recommended daily" underscores the importance of intentionally maintaining your mindset.
