Ziglar served in the Navy during World War II. He was in the Navy V-12 Navy College Training Program, attending the University of South Carolina.
On September 15, 1944, he met his wife, Jeane, 'The Red Head' at the YWCA in Jackson, Mississippi. After dating for over two years she accepted his proposal and they were wed in late 1946.
Ziglar later worked as a salesman in a succession of companies, during which time his sales skills improved and his interest in motivational speaking grew.
In 1968, Ziglar became a vice president and training director for the Automotive Performance company, moving to Dallas, Texas.
In 1970, Ziglar went into the business of motivational speaking full-time. He often incorporates his Christian values into his enthusiastic speaking.
