"We've all heard the expression, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well,
I've got a good question for you: What if it's true? Wouldn't that be easy to do
- to eat an apple a day? Here's the problem: It's also easy not to do. And
therein lay the equation for success and failure. The things that are easy to do
are also easy not to do." Jim Rohn

1. Skills Make Labor More Valuable by Jim Rohn
As you know by now, if you have been a long time subscriber to our weekly
E-zine, I'm a very big proponent of activity, labor and discipline. In fact I
devoted one of the five major pieces to the life puzzle (in my book under the
same name) to the subject of activity and labor. But now let me add another key
word to the labor equation - skillful. Yes, skillful labor.
We need the skills to help build our family's dreams, the skills to stir up an
enterprise and make it successful. We need skills to build equities for the
future. We need skills of all kinds.
How about this - skillful language. If you just talk to your family you can hold
them all together, but if you skillfully talk to your children you can help them
build dreams for the
future. That is why I spend so much time at the Weekend
Seminar on communication - how to affect others with words.
You can't be lazy in language - it cost too much. What if you meant to say
"what's troubling you?" and instead you said "what's wrong with you?". Wow,
that's too big a mistake. And sure you could have made that mistake 10 years
ago, but not now. You should have gotten much better by now in language and
communication.
Skills multiply labors by two, by five, by ten, by fifty, by one hundred times.
Hey, you can chop a tree down with a hammer but it takes about 30 days, called
labor. But if you trade the hammer in for an ax, you can chop the tree down in
about 30 minutes. What's the difference in 30 days and 30 minutes? Skills.
Skills made the difference.
So do what you can - labor. But also do the best that you can do – improved
skills. And you will find that the labor combined with skills will start
producing miracles. Miracles with your money, miracles with your family and
miracles in every part of your life.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
SKILLS/SALES by Jim Rohn
Don’t wish it was easier; wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems;
wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.
You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills.
You can cut down a tree with a hammer, but it takes about 30 days. If you trade
the hammer for an ax, you can cut it down in about 30 minutes. The difference
between 30 days and 30 minutes is skills.
The key to life is to become skillful enough to be able to do rewarding things.
Learn to hide your need and show your skill.
To succeed in sales, simply talk to lots of people every day.
And here’s what’s exciting – there are lots of people!
Practice is just as valuable as a sale. The sale will make you a living; the
skill will make you a fortune.
Selling is a person-to-person business. You cannot send the sales manual out to
make the sale. Sales manuals have no legs and no voice.
In the sales profession the real work begins after the sale is made.
Sales people should take lessons from their kids. What does the word “no” mean
to a child? Almost nothing.
Even if you are new in sales, you can make up in numbers what you lack in
skills.

3. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each week we take a specific or frequently asked question to or about Jim Rohn
and provide the answer!
Question: Jim, after reading your bio on your website, I still want to know
more. I see many of your accomplishments and all the great things that many
impressive people have to say about you. But what happened along the way, what
has been important in helping you achieve your success? PK
Answer: Obviously there are thousands of things that have made a positive
difference in my life as well as tens of thousands of experiences along the way
- far too much to try and put in a bio (by the way I do enjoy whatever amounts
of privacy I can maintain). But if I had to define the keys to any successes in
my life so far I would say it gets down to three things:
1) Early part of my life - the faith and beliefs that were given to me from my
parents.
2) Middle part of my life - having some unique mentors to learn and grow from.
3) Latter part of my life - having confidence in men I trust.
I hope this helps. JR
