June 16, 2000 - Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine Welcome to JIM ROHN'S WEEKLY E-ZINE Jim Rohn International - Home of www.jimrohn.com - The Official Site of America's Foremost Business Philosopher "Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and who isn't a millionaire. Here's what would be pitiful: If your income grew and you didn't.’ Jim Rohn Today's issue is going out to 25,091 weekly subscribers. Please feel free to forward this issue to friends, family and associates! We thank you for reading and for passing along this information. :-) Today's issue includes: 1. THE SUBTLETY OF LANGUAGE by Jim Rohn I have found that sometimes the subtle difference in our attitude, which of course can make a major difference in our future, can be as simple as the language we use. The difference in even how you talk to yourself or others. Consciously making a decision to quit, saying what you don't want and to start saying what you do want. I call that faith. Believing the best, hoping for the best and moving toward the best. A few examples could be, instead of saying, "What if somebody doesn't respond?" you start saying, "What if they do respond?" Instead of saying, "What if someone says no?" You say, "What if they say yes?" Instead of "What if they start and quit?" say, "What if they start and stay?" or "What if it doesn't work out?" You say, "What if it does work out?" The list goes on and on. I found that when you start thinking and saying what you really want then your mind automatically shifts and pulls you in that direction. And sometimes it can be that simple, just a little twist in vocabulary that illustrates your attitude and philosophy. Our language can also affect how others perform and behave around us. A teenager says to a parent, "I need $10." And if the parents learn to say, "No comprende. That kind of language doesn't work here. We've got plenty of money, but that's not how you get $10." Then you teach your teenager how to ask, "How can I earn $10?" That is the magic of words. There is plenty of money here. There is money for everybody, but you just have to learn the magic words to get it. For everything you could possibly want. If you just learn the philosophy. How could I earn $10? Because you can't go to the soil and say, "Give me a harvest." You know the soil smiles and says, "Who is this clown that brings me his need and brings me no seed." And if you said to the soil, "I've got this seed and if I planted it, would you work while I sleep?" And the soil says, "No problem. Give me the seed. Go to sleep and I'll be working while you're sleeping." If you just understand these simple principles, teaching them to a teenager (or an adult) is sometimes just a matter of language. It's like an investment account instead of a savings account. Simple language, but so important. It is easy to stumble through almost a lifetime and not learn some of these simplicities. Then you have to put up with all the lack and all the challenges that don't work out simply from not reading the book, not listening to the tape, not sitting in the class, not studying your language and not being willing to search so you can then find. But here is the great news. You can start this process anytime. For me it was at age 25. At 25 I'm broke. Six years later I'm a millionaire. Somebody says, "What kind of revolution, what kind of change, what kind of thinking, what kind of magic had to happen? Was it you?" And I say, "No. Any person, any six years, 36 to 42, 50 to 56. Whatever six years; whatever few years you go on an intensive, accelerated personal development curve, learning curve, application curve, and learning the disciplines.’ Now, it might not take the same amount of time, but I'm telling you the same changes and the same rewards in some different fashion are available for those who pay that six-year price. And you might find that whether it's in the beginning to help get you started, or in the middle to keep you on track, that your language can have a great impact on your attitude, actions and results.

Vitamins for the Mind COMMUNICATION/PERSUASION by Jim Rohn For effective communication, use brevity. Jesus said, "Follow me." Now that's brief! He could be brief because of all that he was that he didn't have to say. You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that which you do not feel. You cannot translate that which you do not have. And you cannot give that which you do not possess. To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good communication starts with good preparation. The goal of effective communication should be for listeners to say, "Me, too!" verses "So what?" Learn to express, not impress. Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do. Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know. It's not the matter you cover so much as it is the manner in which you cover it.
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, a beautiful burgundy hardbound book with gold foil lettering, is a collection of over 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books spanning over 35 years.

3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Each week we take a specific or frequently asked question about Jim Rohn and provide the answer! Q1. As a frequent student of Jim Rohn, I have this question. With English as my first and only language, which language would you recommend that I learn to help open up my skills for dealing with a global economy? Spanish, Japanese or any other language? I live in the US, but I'm working to expand a NWM company internationally. Please advise. Thanks. J.M.
A1. Obviously your future goals, ambitions and influences would play heavily into the answer. But generally if you live in America and want to also be part of a global economy I would still say Spanish should be number one. It would be valuable to you in both North and South America as well as parts of Europe. It is also relatively easy to learn. After Spanish then it's your pick. Whatever seems to make the most sense to you. I do congratulate you on wanting to increase your influence and skill by learning a second language. Only five to ten new words a day can translate into 1500-3000 words in one year.
Q2. I know your office is in Dallas, TX, is that where Jim lives? A2. Actually Jim travels so much for both business (over 100 talks a year) and personal (family, friends and adventure) that living in Dallas is not essential. He currently has residences in Beverly Hills, Southwest Idaho, Phoenix, and Carmel. One for each season, a goal he had set for himself early in his sales career over 40 years ago.
"You must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall.’ Jim Rohn

It was a pleasure to shake your hand and thank you for the work you do! You have been a great help to my husband and me as we have learned to grow and succeed in this marvelous industry (MLM) over the past 3½ years. Sincerely and enthusiastically, Jim Rohn has touched my life in such a way that I am not the same person I used to be and I continue to aspire to improve myself as an individual. I continue to listen to his tapes over and over again and have shared them with friends. Thank you Jim Rohn, for sharing the gift of yourself! First heard Jim at Amway Rally through Paul Freehling..... Jim's now my favorite speaker of all times. Your e-zine is just what I need to start each day.

I listen to your tapes every day. The same ones, and I learn something more every time I listen. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation! -- JRI
