Ziglar's executive assistant Laurie Magers says Ziglar died Wednesday at a hospital in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
Ziglar's speaking career had lasted more than 50 years, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports, before he retired in 2010.
He was known for corporate training and motivational speeches that aimed to improve people's personal lives and careers.
His company includes more than a dozen other speakers who advocate "The Ziglar Way."
Ziglar has written more than 29 sales and motivational books, including "See You at the Top" and "Over the Top," and has made appearances with U.S. presidents and world leaders.
I am a fan and admire him so much.
Some of his quotes include:
~ If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.
~ Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
~ Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the "gotta have it" scale.
~ You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.
~ If you treat your wife like a thoroughbred, you'll never end up with a nag.
~ People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.
~ If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
And the list goes on.
No doubt this man has given a push to so many people's lives.
RIP GREAT MAN!
