1. MULTIPLE SKILLS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY by Jim Rohn

I find it's important to not walk into the 21st Century without multiple skills. But what I also find is that if you are already in sales, network marketing or have an entrepreneurial business (or plan to in the future), you can gain the needed skills for the future while you create your income now. Here's my short list for on the job training, so that you can learn while you earn.

1) SALES
I began my journey with sales, which of course dynamically changed my life back at age 25. The first year I multiplied my income by five. I was raised in farm country. I knew how to milk cows, but it didn't pay well. But sales altered the course of my life, learning to present a valid product in the marketplace, talk about its virtues and get somebody to say "yes." And then give them good service.

2) RECRUITING
Then came recruiting, how to expand my business, build an organization. We have all heard the question, is it better to have one person selling a $1000 or have 100 people selling $10? If you ask me, I'll take the 100 at $10. Recruiting, the ability to multiply your efforts, once mastered, is one of life and leadership's greatest time management resources.

3) ORGANIZING
Then I learned organizing. Keeping your own schedule can be difficult at times, but now you are having to balance multiple tasks and people to get maximum results. But you will find that the payoff is massive once you have tapped into the synergy and momentum of group dynamics and teamwork.

4) PROMOTION
Next is promotion. First it's the spring campaign and then the fall campaign, and then it's this month's objective's campaign. You never know when it's going to click for someone to want or need to buy from you or be a part of what you are doing, so having the offer or the special or the contest going when they're ready can make all the difference.

5) RECOGNITION
Then it's the recognition. Some people work harder for recognition than they do for money. It's the chance to belong. Getting people to do something that ordinarily on their own, they wouldn't think of doing. They could, but they don't think of it. You come along with a little promotion for this month or this quarter and everything changes for them, and I found that paid big money.

6) COMMUNICATION
Then I learned communication. How to do the training, how to do the teaching, and probably the greatest gift of all is learning how to inspire with words. Inspire people to see themselves better than they are; all of those gifts, all of those skills. Being the voice that tells them they have made a wise decision and here's why.

Now, I believe that if you walk into the next century with just that little short list I've given you, you'll be equipped. We've all watched what has happened the last 15 years. The guy had one skill - the company downsizes. His division is eliminated and since he only had one skill, now he is vulnerable. He's wandering around saying, "Oh my, the last few years I should have taken some classes that would have taught me a couple of more things and I wouldn't be here in this vulnerable position."

So my admonition -- learn some multiple skills, or should we say, back-up skills for the 21st Century and no better place to learn them than in what your already doing now.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. VITAMINS FOR THE MIND

Vitamins for the mind are a weekly sampling of original quotes, on a specific topic, taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. TTOQ are a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 35 years. This week's topic:

LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT by Jim Rohn

"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly."

"We must learn to help those who deserve it, not just those who need it. Life responds to deserve not need."

"My mentor said, 'Let's go do it', not 'You go do it'. How powerful when someone says, 'Let's!'"

"Good people are found not changed. Recently I read a headline that said, "We don't teach people to be nice. We simply hire nice people." Wow! What a clever short cut."

"Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are."

"Learn to help people with more than just their jobs: help them with their lives."

3. JIM ROHN TESTIMONIALS - August 3-10

I have had the pleasure to attend several of Mr. Rohn's seminars. I also own several of his tape programs and books. They have been a life support to me on many occasions. It is time to read them again. His words have steadied me in a very unsteady world.
-- K. Thompson

They have changed my life.
-- Doris L. Adkins

I absolutely think that Jim Rohn is the best of the best, and he has taught me so much. Thanks, Jim!
-- Lisa A. Syler

I had the opportunity to hear you at our convention in Nashville. I learned so much, and the information you passed along will indeed be information I will be able to pass on to others. Thanks!
-- April Phelps-Hill

Superb! In my opinion, The Art of Exceptional Living and Leading an Inspired Life are the best foundations for anyone embarking on the journey of self improvement -- required reading. I can't understand why 'Leading an Inspired Life' hasn't become more widely accepted as a personal success 'Masterpiece.'
-- Duncan Hoffman

Jim Rohn is our most favorite speaker. We love his approach and look forward to future associations with him both through seminars and his materials! We have almost everything that Jim has done. We have also attended several seminars.
-- Jan & Cliff Fields

I listen to Jim at least 30 minutes a day. He has changed my life!
-- Melissa Ward

Great stuff! I can't help but be impressed by Mr. Rohn's infectious enthusiasm and obvious lust for all of the things that go into the wondrous tapestry of life.
-- Ron Franks

4. FAQ's

We take two of the most frequently asked questions by you each week and provide the answers!

Q1. Is Jim a member of The National Speakers Association? Would he recommend me joining?

A1. Yes, Jim is a member of NSA. In fact, in 1985 he received the coveted CPAE award that has been given to less than 2% of the 5,000 plus members. NSA and Toastmasters International are both excellent organizations to join, to both increase your skills as a speaker and to meet the industry leaders.

Q2. I would like to be a speaker. Does Jim consult up and coming speakers?

A1. No, Jim does not do individual coaching or consulting. He devotes his business time to public and corporate speaking, authoring new training programs, entrepreneurial endeavors and corporate consulting. Again, NSA and Toastmasters International are two excellent organizations to learn more about the speaking industry.
