Publisher Description
A legacy that has touched audiences all over the world began in Dallas, Texas, in 1972 when Zig Ziglar recorded perhaps the definitive work of his career. Biscuits Fleas and Pump Handles is the compilation of observations, thoughts and research Zig had spent years preparing to present as the foundation of a philosophy born of hope and nurtured with integrity. In this 60 minute recording, Zig lays out a plan for living a balanced and fulfilling life, teaching us that we can have everything in life we want if we will just help enough other people get what they want. The applications outlined in this message have changed lives, built careers, and propelled individuals and institutions to unexpected heights. Used as the cornerstone for all training provided by Ziglar, this program is packed with answers to tough questions in turbulent times.

"This is a great book and has some old cliches that ironically still hold true. A classic self help book. Zig Ziglar is an icon and is still doing motivational seminars as of this writing...July 2007. TAcoma, Seattle: July 2007 Get Motivated seminar. Especially good information can be found in chaptor 4... 15 steps to a healthier self image."

" Zig Ziglar is one of my favorite motivational speakers. I saw him in person at a 2000 seminar. His See You at the Top book is written at the 5th grade level but the way he gets across his ideas with stories from his personal experiences are engaging, humorous and inspirational, in my opinion. "
— Mr., 1/17/2014 -
" At times it feels like reading a conversation with your grandpa, but the book is incredibly effective at motivating you to want to be a better you. Many of its ideas aren't ground-breakingly new ideas, but much of truth isn't. I highly recommend it. "

— Kevin, 11/21/2013 -
" Taught me that the way to get to what you want is to give others what they want. You need to convince people that what you have is worth the money in their hands. "

— Shafik, 2/27/2012 -
" I think there are very good points and ways of thinking presented. However, I dont like how there are strong religious parts. Seemed to argue that secularism and homosexuality will bring down America, etc. But, other than that, does open up your mind to a lot of good stuff. "
