"One person caring about another represents life's greatest value." Jim Rohn Today's issue includes: 1. Article by Jim Rohn - Enterprise Is Better Than Ease 1. Enterprise Is Better Than Ease by Jim Rohn If we are involved in a project, how hard should we work at it? How much time should we put in? Our philosophy about activity and our attitude about hard work will affect the quality of our lives. What we decide about the rightful ratio of labor to rest will establish a certain work ethic. That work ethic - our attitude about the amount of labor we are willing to commit to future fortune - will determine how substantial or how meager that fortune turns out to be. Enterprise is always better than ease. Every time we choose to do less than we could, this error in judgment has an effect on our self-confidence. Repeated every day, we soon find ourselves not only doing less than we should, but also being less than we could. The accumulative effect of this error in judgment can be devastating. --- FORTUNATELY, IT IS EASY TO REVERSE THE PROCESS --- Any day we choose we can develop a new discipline of doing rather than neglecting. Every time we choose action over ease or labor over rest, we develop an increasing level of self-worth, self-respect and self-confidence. In the final analysis, it is how we feel about ourselves that provides the greatest reward from any activity. It is not what we get that makes us valuable, it is what we become in the process of doing that brings value into our lives. It is activity that converts human dreams into human reality, and that conversion from idea into actuality gives us a personal value that can come from no other source. So feel free to not only engage in enterprise, but also to enjoy it to it's fullest along with all the benefits that are soon to come!

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: ENTERPRISE by Jim Rohn "Human beings have the remarkable ability to turn nothing into something. They can turn weeds into gardens and pennies into fortunes." "Enterprise is better than ease." "Showing a profit means touching something and leaving it better than you found it." "Enterprise is the hope of our future." "Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune." "We all know a variety of ways to make a living. What's even more fascinating is figuring out ways to make a fortune." "Kids ought to have two bicycles, one to ride and one to rent." To order or to get more information on the TTOQ by Jim Rohn, or excerpts from the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to our site and see details on our Featured Specials. GIFTS THAT INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE! 3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Each week we take one or two specific or frequently asked questions about or addressed to Jim Rohn and provide the answer. Question: What were Mr. Schoaf's ideas on getting out of debt, yet continuing to meet your obligations? Jeanne Answer: In those early years Mr. Schoaf gave me a great quote, he said "it's not the amount that matters as much as the plan". The point is, I teach the 70/30 principle of saving 10%, investing 10% and giving 10% of your net income. I believe those are good ratios of dividing how much you should save, invest and give compared to what you live on. When you need to get out of debt, I would suggest you keep the same principle, but adjust the amounts. Example: Live on 70%, pay 20% toward debt and then use the remaining 10% to save, invest and give. Or if that is too much, live on 80%, put 14% toward debt and allocate 2% each for saving, investing and giving. Again it's not so much the amount as having a plan. Just make sure as you start to pay off your debt, lower your interest payments and curtail your spending - that you then adjust your percentages of paying off debt, saving, investing and giving. (I personally believe in the biblical 10% amount of giving and paying God first, but that is for you to decide.) No matter what, I would try and pay yourself first through saving and investing - even if it's modest amounts and then pay as much of your higher interest debts off first, while cutting out all non-essential spending. These three disciplines will begin the momentum to gaining the joy and pride of experiencing financial freedom. Soon you will see yourself being transformed from a spender to a saver, and from a borrower to a lender. "You cannot succeed by yourself. It's hard to find a rich hermit." Jim Rohn 4.

The website is really top rate, something that befits the caliber of a person such as Jim Rohn. You have put together a well thought out and designed site. It looks great! Thank you again, Mr. Rohn, and God bless. Jim is the equal of Brian Tracy: they are the BEST teachers that I have ever seen or heard, whether in person or on tape. I am very grateful to be a student of life and have access to an accomplished teacher who walks his talk. I had heard on more than one occasion about this brilliant man Jim Rohn through Herbalife seminars, and up until now to be quite honest I thought "just another so called philosopher", but having now visited the site and seeing some of the response to Jim's teachings, and seeing some of the quotes I am glad to say I have changed my view and will be following this brilliant man more closely. Fantanstic! I am very excited that I found your web site. I have some old tapes of Jim Rohn's that I have worn out & have helped change my life. I've heard you speak on the Success Channel & in Dallas at the PPL Leadership Seminar. I purchased your complete promotional set at the seminar. You're the best!!! Love the words and spiritual alignment. Outstanding! One of the best speakers I've ever heard. My brother gave me three cassettes from one of Mr. Rohn's seminars. I have listened to it twice now. I just love what he has to say! Originally heard one of Jim's seminar tapes over 20 years ago. Have been a fan of his ever since. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation! -- JRI "The greatest gift you can give to somebody is your own personal development.
