(The following is an account of Jim Rohn's affect on two young students who went on to form the Guthy-Renker Group)

"In 1978, my brother (Bill Guthy) a struggling student and entrepreneur, attended one of your seminars in Pasadena, CA. Bill took action and it changed his life... and fortunately he passed it quickly on to me and the chain reaction began.

Since that time, our business together has grown into one of the country's largest independent audio/video duplication and custom packaging houses (Cassette Productions Unlimited) with over 150,000 combined total square feet in Asheville, NC, and Irvine, CA. However, it didn't stop there, a foremost infomercial producer (The Guthy-Renker Group) that has launched shows such as 'Personal Power', 'The Principal Secret', 'Perfect Smile', and yes... 'Think and Grow Rich' has also been a result of your seminar.

I should also mention that Audio Renaissance Tapes (the 6th largest producer and distributor of books on tape) and Promotions Unlimited are also a part of our business... and are also a result of the 'little' piece of advice you shared nearly 17 years ago. Mr. Rohn, thanks for making a difference in my life, and for being a powerful messenger of what we all have the potential to Become!"

Rick Guthy

"I've put an extra $57,000 in my bank account as a direct result of the principles I learned at the last Jim Rohn 2-day seminar. In addition to the cash inflow, I have several pending contracts with major corporations that will result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business. What Jim teaches works. He is a living example of it, and I will be one of his great success stories."
James W. Dyer - President, Pocket-it Organizers

6) Special Message from Jim Rohn

A Message from Jim Rohn

"I have had the good fortune of watching people from across America and around the world make one of life's most important discoveries - that they can have more than they've got, be more than they are and recapture the ambition and excitement they once had. The process isn't all that difficult. It's a matter of reassessment of where we've been, of what we are, and of deciding how we want the rest of our lives to turn out.

But too many of us get so absorbed in the process of earning a living that we forget about designing our lives. We look for answers instead of being inspired by strong reasons. We respond to our circumstances instead of using the ability we have to create new and better circumstances. You see, we don´t need more experience. We already have all that we need in order to attract all that we want. The answer isn´t found in needing more, it's found in becoming more, and I'd like to have the chance to share two days with you during which you'll discover the magic you already have.

It's going to be a remarkable weekend. It's going to be a new beginning for you. Life won´t ever be the same for you once you've discovered what success is really all about.

Let's spend the weekend putting together your better future! Let's start the process of designing the life you've always wanted. Let's go do something remarkable."

Jim Rohn

2. Going to a Seminar? Get Your Money's Worth
by Jeffrey Gitomer

The average (growing) salesperson spends $758 a year on some form of self improvement. Seminars, books, tapes or courses to make themselves better people and salespeople -- in short: to make more sales.

Seminars and courses are the best opportunities because they're live performances. They offer "in your face" information that is timely -- and makes you evaluate the information in terms of what you are doing "right now."

Salespeople go to the live seminar eager to get more information, but few know how to attend for maximum benefit. Here are a few rules (guidelines) and ideas I've compiled from both seminar leaders and seminar attendees. If you're going to a seminar soon -- and I hope you are, take these thoughts with you so you can walk away with the gold:

1. Lower your sensitivity meter -- or better yet -- turn it off. You're here to get information not be offended by a remark or word. If you want everything to be peachy clean and politically correct, get out of sales and take a nice job at the post office. A woman at a US Airways ticket counter put it the best I've ever heard it. I was traveling with my girlfriend, and wondered aloud what the politically correct word was for traveling partner, not yet spouse. She said, "Don't worry, we're not in politics, we're in business." Cool.

2. Self-evaluate it, don't "know-it." When you hear a fact that will make you better, don't tell yourself "I know that" rather ask yourself, "How good am I at that?" Self-evaluate is the only way to get real and get better.

3. Search for idea-gems. Look for what you don't know -- not what you do. Try to walk away with 6 things you can use tomorrow.

4. Listen with the intent to understand. Don't cut off the thought too soon. Stick with it -- listen all the way out. Don't be smarter than the presenter -- just listen with the intent to learn and get better. The best way to do this is take notes and shut up.

5. Don't do it like they do it. Do it like you do it. Adapt the seminar leader's concepts and words to your personality and style.

6. Ask anything any time. Challenge any thing any time. If you don't understand, ask why. Write down questions as they occur to you and ask them at the first appropriate moment.

7. All info won't work all the time. So what? Pick out what WILL work and concentrate on that.

8. Take the general information and adapt it to your product or selling situation. Think "how will this work in my sales environment?" Try to adapt the principle as soon as you hear it.

9. Don't criticize the presenter -- instead listen for the one or two gems that may impact you forever. As the great Glenn W. Turner says, "No statue was ever erected to a critic, but the people they criticized, many statues have gone up."

10. Your objective is to make yourself better. That's why you came in the first place. Don't strut what you already know. Find the "ah-has" and convert them to your world. Leave with new things that will help you, not the same information you came with.

11. Sit with someone you don't know -- Stay away from the people you came with. Make new friends. Look for a potential customer or contact.

12. Take great notes and record them at the end of the event. Too many times great ideas go fallow before they have a chance to be implemented. All great seminar ideas fall victim to the everyday work that awaits you after the event. If you record your notes and listen to them everyday for two weeks, you are more likely to do things you would have put off for months -- maybe forever.

12.5 Focus on yourself. Many people are jealous or envious of the presenter. Kind of like Monday morning quarterbacks or movie critics. My biggest recommendation is one that has appeared in this column before: Resign your position as general manager of the universe. Don't worry about everyone else, just concentrate on becoming the best you can be for yourself.

Self improvement is your biggest chance to pass the competition, your biggest chance for career success, and your biggest chance for personal success. All you have to do is carve out the time from your "too busy" life.
