1. THE MIRACLE OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT by Jim Rohn
One day Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job."
Since that time I've been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime.
You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, "What am I getting?" Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.
I've also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle.
If someone hands you a million dollars, you'd better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, "If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before."
It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.
So here's the great axiom of life:
--TO HAVE MORE THAN YOU'VE GOT, BECOME MORE THAN YOU ARE--
This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:
--UNLESS YOU CHANGE HOW YOU ARE, YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU'VE GOT--
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
TIME MANAGEMENT by Jim Rohn
Something will master and something will serve. Either you run the day or the day runs you; either you run the business or the business runs you.
Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.
Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?
Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.
Sometimes you need to stay in touch but be out of reach.
Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it, and spend it rather than invest it.
We can no more afford to spend major time on minor things than we can to spend minor time on major things.
Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.
Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.
Learn how to say no. Don't let your mouth overload your back.
Time is the best-kept secret of the rich.

4. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each week we take a specific or frequently asked question to or about Jim Rohn and provide the answer!
Q. Hi Jim, I recently joined a network marketing company. After an initial excitement I've found myself lacking the motivation or discipline to do what I need to do to reach my goals. My husband, who is in sales, suggested I read my goals 2-3 times a day. I'm reading but wanted to see if you have any additional advice? Thank you. SM
A. I'm a strong proponent of setting goals, writing down your goals, visualizing your goals, etc. I also believe a big part of having goals is creating the "what for" or as I call it, a set of "reasons" to achieve your goals. I truly believe reasons make the difference. The "why" is always more powerful than "how".
Here is a short list of reasons (there are many more) that you might want to pull from (these are in no particular order):
1) Material things - houses, cars, boats, season tickets to a local sports team's events or the theater, as well as vacations - just to name a few. Material things are important and do help us make short term sacrifices. Example: If you get "X" amount of results you can go to the ballgame, buy the set of golf clubs, take a unique vacation etc.
2) Family reasons can be especially powerful. A family trip, saving for the education of your kids, helping other family members. I've found that we will often do far more for and because of our family than we would ever do for ourselves.
3) Recognition can cause us to push beyond our comfort zone - to be that month's top producer or to break a record. Three important areas of recognition:
a) our peers
b) a mentor or leader
c) family and friends
4) Benevolence - making a difference in our community and our world has helped to create some of the most spectacular success stories. It is hard to stop someone on a mission bigger than himself or herself.
5) To be the best. To try and accomplish new and greater goals. To be number one at times in a small group or a large group - but to be on top, even if it is for a day, can create large amounts of motivation.
The most important part of all of these reasons is that if any one of them helps you take a step toward your goals and then another reason helps you take the next step, then soon you will so enjoy the fruit and results of your own successes, as well as helping all those around you, that you will have no problem sustaining all future motivation.
Good Luck!
P.S. A few months ago I did an article titled The Four Emotions That Lead to Life Change - which also can qualify as reasons. Feel free to go and read it in our website archives - www.jimrohn.com

After listening to the first tape of Jim Rohn in the Skills for the 21st Century I told my wife that this guy was awesome and after finishing the set of 12 tapes I knew that I was correct. I definitely need to obtain more of his motivation because his seminars make a person want to conquer the world. I am thankful I have that tape set and had to order more! Thanks,
