Issue 30 - March 7, 2000 - Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine
March 7, 2000 - Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine Welcome to JIM ROHN'S WEEKLY E-ZINE Jim Rohn International - Home of jimrohn.com - The Official Site of America's Foremost Business Philosopher "There is no better opportunity to receive more than to be thankful for what you already have. Thanksgiving opens the windows of opportunity for ideas to flow your way." Jim Rohn Today's issue includes: 1. Article by Jim Rohn- SUCCESS IS EASY, BUT SO IS NEGLECT
People often ask me how I became successful in that six- year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking and my ideas. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes and the seminars, and to get around other successful people. They said it probably really wouldn't matter. If I had to sum it up, I would say what I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. Six years later, I'm a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government, and company policies, yet they neglected to do the basic, easy things. In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing as well as they could and should, can be summed up in a single word: neglect. It is not the lack of money - banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity - America, and much of the free World, continues to offer the most unprecedented and abundant opportunities in the last six thousand years of recorded history. It is not the lack of books - libraries are full of books - and they are free! It is not the schools - the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of ministers, leaders, counselors and advisors. Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply, neglect. Neglect is like an infection. Left unchecked it will spread throughout our entire system of disciplines and eventually lead to a complete breakdown of a potentially joy-filled and prosperous human life. Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self- confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more ... and on and on it goes. So my suggestion is that when giving the choice of "easy to" and "easy not to" that you do not neglect to do the simple, basic, "easy"; but potentially life-changing activities and disciplines.

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: BASICS/FUNDAMENTALS by Jim Rohn Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. There are no new fundamentals. You've got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, "I've got a new fundamental." That's like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques. Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done. Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.

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. Q1. I have a question; I am involved with a MLM company. I am truly focused on this company and their products. However, I am struggling. I purchased your tape series; I normally do not like tapes. Yours were excellent. My problem is I NEED A MENTOR. Please advise me where I can turn. May God bless you and your special ministry. MW A1. Thank you for your kind words. I was fortunate early on to have Mr. Schoaff as my mentor. But I also had some other very powerful influential mentors as well. People like Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and James Allen. Although at the time I did not personally know these gentlemen, I did know the very best of what they had to share from their books. I'm assuming MW, that you are doing OK compared to the rest of the world, based on the question and what little I already know about you -- since you are reading and listening to personal development information. My advice is to continue to search out good information and then ACT upon it. Let every source of ideas and motivation be your mentor, until a live body comes along, and even then let that person be a source - not the whole piece of the mentoring input into your life. Good luck! "God has the tough end of the deal. What if instead of planting the seed you had to make the tree? That would keep you up late at night, trying to figure that one out." Jim Rohn 4. Jim Rohn Testimonials - MARCH 1 - 7 Here is a sampling of the testimonials and comments we received this past week from E-zine subscribers. I have been a serious student of Jim Rohn for 8 years. In fact I believe the information I received from him not only saved my life (literally) but has taken me from being broke to being in the top 2% of the income earners in the U.S. I am a better father, a better husband, a better person! The good news is they haven't printed enough money to get me to quit taking Jim's ezine. I just changed my email address to .. I know Jim has gotten many letters with regard to the impact he has had on people's lives. I just want him to know whatever time I have left on this planet I will endeavor to make a positive difference in people's lives. He has taught me well! A friend for life. Mr. Rohn has shown me truths that I had forgotten in dealing with everyday problems. I shared the tapes with my wife & she has become a true "fan" of the message he offers. I think he is great. Love Jim Rohn's materials. I met Jim at our winter conference for New Image International in Daytona Beach in Jan 2000. I have been listening to many of his tapes. Thank You Jim, for I have become a better person for it! May God be with you, I have heard Mr. Rohn several times in live seminars and have been a student of his since first hearing him in '88. I now have quite an extensive library, nearing 100 journals alone, and have been speaking, and teaching his principles, ideas and philosophy for these past 12 years. I have even been fortunate enough to have spent a few minutes with him in one to one conversation, just before he was going on stage in Charlotte a couple years ago. I have just completed 100 pages in my book that I've been writing for the past few years and am going into business for myself as a speaker, trainer and sales professional. Thanks Mr. Rohn for making a difference in how my life worked out. I listened to your tapes every day and my life improved, now I share them with my organization and they are changed. We use your quotes all the time, and the most major one is, Don't major in Minor things .. Finally after 3 years I got your autograph in Vancouver when I attended a training there, you were so tired, and you took time for just One more. Thanks so much, I have heard a set of tapes by you at another business venture and for some reason I must have passed along to someone. It is a great motivational tape. I still have to discover myself. We need to see more of Jim {{{{{{{'down unda'}}}}}}}} !!! Find Mr. Rohn's philosophy totally awesome. Have become a devotee & I am promoting his tools to my network. (300 so far...!) He's the best when it comes to motivation & ideas on success, thank you so much for all your insight! Jim helped me realize that I can do what ever I commit myself to. My income has tripled over the last 18 months and I've never felt better about life!!! "Jim's THE MAN!"
