21 Zig Ziglar Quotes of Inspiration for Entrepreneurs

Written by Jacob Salem

As an entrepreneur, we have to constantly tell the “negativity committee” inside of our own minds to be quiet.  It can require some training, but when you begin to think a negative thought, remember that you have the power to flip the script!   

Zig Ziglar always said, “positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.”
