1. CREATING OPPORTUNITY by Jim Rohn
An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees
the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives
through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An
enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It's to be
skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to
seize opportunities that present themselves...regardless of the economy.
A person with an enterprising attitude says, "Find out what you can before
action is taken." Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be
resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what's to come.
Enterprising people always see the future in the present.
Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be
burdened by it. And enterprising people aren't lazy. They don't wait for
opportunities to come to them, they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means
always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.
Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see
what's out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look
at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different
approach, to be different.
What goes hand-in-hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second
requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things
differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different
approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over
inactivity.
And lastly, being enterprising doesn't just relate to the ability to make money.
Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough
self worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a
difference in your future. And by doing so you will increase your confidence,
your courage, your creativity and your self-worth – your enterprising nature.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
GOALS/GOAL SETTING by Jim Rohn
The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish
it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.
When Andrew Carnegie died, they discovered a sheet of paper upon which he had
written one of the major goals of his life:
to spend the first half of his life accumulating money and to spend the last
half of his life giving it all away. And he did!
Some people are disturbed by those tough days because all they have are the
days. They haven't designed or described or defined the future.
Goals. There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's
no telling what you can do when you believe in them. And there's no telling what
will happen when you act upon them.
We all need lots of powerful long-range goals to help us past the short-term
obstacles.
The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it
takes to achieve them.
Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.
If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to
work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we
build end up building us.
We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life.

opportunity to Be Part of History!
Allow the man who has influenced so many including – Anthony Robbins, Harvey
MacKay, Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Jan Ruhe, Shelia Bethel Murray, Mark Victor
Hansen, Jack Canfield and millions more, help you to invent your future! Take
advantage of this rare opportunity to spend two remarkable days with the Master
of Success - Jim Rohn.
Four unique packages have been created that will allow anyone to attend - from a
modest investment of a few hundred dollars up to a Platinum package that
includes front & center seating; VIP lunches, special Friday night reception
with Jim Rohn and guests (including William E. Bailey, Charlie "Tremendous"
Jones, Bob Burg, Tony Jeary and two surprise guests) a Sunday mastermind session
with Jim; limited edition signed and numbered leather journal; 18 hours of the
entire two-day and behind the scenes all filmed on DVD and much more.
In addition, we will have a special teenager session, a special post-event

unique prizes for attendees.
More than just listening to a tape series, reading a book or attending a seminar

priceless wisdom offered by Jim, and together you will fashion the necessary
tools needed to design a life that will be remarkable, memorable and ultimately

There is no comparison to the “live” event – ninety percent of the effect is
being there. Ask anyone who has attended a theatrical production, a concert by
Luciano Pavarotti, saw the Beatles in the `60s or went to a Super Bowl or
Olympics– the sights, sounds and experiences are all magnified because you are

Dear Mr. Rohn: I just want to say thank you, for helping me, see straight again.
With the way the world is now, and the powerful ways, used by the so-called spin
doctors, it's a wonder, how anybody can think straight anymore. You sir, reached
me, and made me think, and reevaluate a lot, again.
For that, I am, grateful, and humble. In closing, I want you to know, that all
those sayings, which keep ringing in my head, are, in their most simplest form,
true. You sir, have inspired me, to make up one of my own, sort of. "God, allows
us, so many days, on this Earth-out of the ones we get, He, gives us so many
good ones-make the most of them!" With admiration, & Respect, Thank You,
-- Mr. D. S. Warner
The Challenge To Succeed was like unwrapping a gift on Christmas morning when I
was a kid. I anticipated its arrival like a little child. When it arrived I ran
to my stereo to start my new journey in life. I attended college for 8 years to
become a servant of humanity through alternative health care. I learned the
technical skills necessary to skillfully serve my patients, but unfortunately
college taught me little to nothing about working on myself in order to become a
true servant. I can't thank Jim Rohn enough for giving me the tools to create a
life of abundance for myself and my family!
-- Brian J. Beckner
Excellent.
-- Chuck F. Appeldoorn, Cable Equipment Services Inc.
I really enjoy Les Brown and I want to congratulate Mr. Rohn for the fine
teacher he is. As Les says with change anything is possible if you’re willing to
change and pay the price.
-- Gina Nesbitt, Nutrition For Life Int.
I really enjoy everything but the most important is that helped me to change the
quality of my life. Thank you Rohn!!
-- Miguel H. Uriarte
I ordered Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn and I gave them to clients and friends
and they have become an enormous hit so I am ordering 100 and will probably
order more when I have time to hand deliver them. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
-- Nancy Davis, Era Elite Group
Excellent. I have listened many times and I am giving the tape to new associates
that I sponsor and leaders in my organization. Just what I needed to reframe my
thinking thus attitude. Thank you.
-- Reva E Carter, Pre-paid Legal Services
EXCELLENT.
-- Tom Camarda, Pre Paid Legal
I heard my first tape of Jim Rohn about 20 years ago as a copy of a presentation
he gave for Dick Marks (Amway) in Minneapolis MN. Over the years I've received
several bulletins and bought various products. At one point I spent 2 whole days
(uninterrupted by choice) listening and writing/outlining the entire 16 tape set
so as to never lose sight of the points being made. I now have a very successful
company (soon to be
international) based on a solar powered aeration device I invented. I credit Jim
with at least part of the motivation and principles I use to manage my business.
-- Wayne E. Ruzicka, Ponds Rx Us
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and
appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
