1. Article - The Major Key to Your
Better Future is You by Jim Rohn
Of all the things that can have an
effect on your future, I believe
personal growth is the greatest. We can
talk about sales growth, profit growth,
asset growth, but all of this probably
will not happen without personal growth.
It’s really the open door to it all. In
fact I’d like to have you memorize a
most important phrase. Here it is, “The
major key to your better future is YOU.”
Let me repeat that. “The major key to
your better future is YOU.” Put that
someplace you can see it everyday, in
the bathroom, in the kitchen, at the
office, anywhere where you can see it
everyday. The major key to your better
future is YOU. Try to remember that
every day you live and think about it.
The major key is YOU.
Now, there are many things that will
help your better future. If you belong
to a strong, dynamic and progressive
company, that would help. If the company
has good products, good services that
you are proud of, that would certainly
help. If there were good sales aids,
that would help, good training would
certainly help. If there is strong
leadership that will certainly help. All
of these things will help, and of
course, if it doesn’t storm, that will
help. If your car doesn’t break down,
that will help. If the kids don’t get
sick, that will help. If the neighbors
stay half way civil, that will help. If
your relatives don’t bug you, that will
help. If it isn’t too cold, if it isn’t
too hot, all those things will help your
better future. And if prices don’t go
much higher and if taxes don’t get much
heavier, that will help. And if the
economy stays stable, those things will
all help. We could go on and on with the
list; but remember this, the list of
things that I’ve just covered and many
more - all put together - play a minor
role in your better future.
The major key to your better future is
you. Lock your mind onto that. This is a
super important point to remember. The
major key is you. Mr. Shoaff always
answered when asked, “How do you develop
an above average income?” by saying
“Simple, become an above average person.
Work on you.” Mr. Shoaff would say,
“Develop an above average handshake.” He
would say, “A lot of people want to be
successful, and they don’t even work on
their handshake. As easy as that would
be to start, they let it slide. They
don’t understand.” Mr. Shoaff would say,
“Develop an above average smile. Develop
an above average excitement. Develop an
above average dedication. Develop an
above average interest in other people.”
He would say, “To have more, become
more.” Remember; work harder on yourself
than you do on your job. For a long time
in my life, I didn’t have this figured
out.
Strangely enough, with two different
people in the same company one may earn
an extra $100 a month, and the other may
earn a $1,000. What could possibly be
the difference? If the products were the
same, if the training was the same, if
they both had the same literature, the
same tools. If they both had the same
teacher, the same compensation plan, if
they both attended the same meetings,
why would one person earn the $100 per
month and the other person earn the
$1000? Remember here is the
difference...the difference is personal,
inside, not outside, inside.
You see the real difference is inside
you. In fact, the difference IS you.
Someone once said, “The magic is not in
the products. The magic is not in the
literature. The magic is not in the
film. There isn’t a magic meeting, but
the magic that makes things better is
inside you, and personal growth makes
this magic work for you.
The magic is in believing. The magic is
in daring. The magic is in trying. The
real magic is in persevering. The magic
is in accepting. It’s in working. The
magic is in thinking. There is magic in
a handshake. There is magic in a smile.
There is magic in excitement and
determination. There is real magic in
compassion and caring and sharing. There
is unusual magic in strong feeling and
you see, all that comes from inside, not
outside. So, the difference is inside
you. The real difference is you. You are
the major key to your better future.
To Your Success,
2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
OVERCOMING THE NEGATIVE by Jim Rohn
We must all wage an intense, lifelong
battle against the constant downward
pull. If we relax, the bugs and weeds of
negativity will move into the garden and
take away everything of value.
Humility is a virtue; timidity is a
disease.
If you spend five minutes complaining,
you have just wasted five minutes. If
you continue complaining, it won’t be
long before they haul you out to a
financial desert and there let you choke
on the dust of your own regret.
You cannot take the mild approach to the
weeds in your mental garden. You have
got to hate weeds enough to kill them.
Weeds are not something you handle;
weeds are something you devastate.
Vitamins for the Mind is a weekly
sampling of original quotes, on a
specific topic, taken from The Treasury
of Quotes by Jim Rohn (TTOQ). 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 37 years. To
order or to get more information on TTOQ

"Asking is the
beginning of receiving. Make sure you
don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon.
At least take a bucket so the kids won't
laugh at you." Jim Rohn
3 . ACHIEVING SUCCESS BY EXPECTING SUCCESS by Zig Ziglar
When you plan and prepare carefully, you
can legitimately expect to have success
in your efforts. When you recognize and
develop the winning qualities that you
were born with, the winner you were born
to be emerges. When you plan and prepare
to make a sale, for example, you can
legitimately expect to make a sale.
Although not all your expectations are
going to come to pass, you give yourself
an infinitely better chance of
succeeding by taking the proper steps.
Regardless of your goal--losing weight,
making more sales, furthering your
education, earning a promotion, saving
money for a new home or an exotic
vacation--you can expect to achieve your
goal if you plan and prepare for it.
Also understand that the path from where
you are to where you want to be is not
always smooth and straight. The reason
for the twists and bumps is simple, and
it has nothing to do with you. It has
more to do with the fact that not
everyone is as interested in your
success as you are. Some people may
accidentally hinder your efforts; others
who are in competition with you and have
little or no integrity may try to
sabotage your efforts.
Keep in mind, though, that when you hit
those roadblocks your character,
commitment, and attitude are the
determining factors in your success. . .
Carefully review your plan of action,
seek wise counsel, and be particularly
careful to feed your mind good
information. An optimistic, positive
mind is far more likely to come up with
creative solutions than a mind that
dwells on setbacks and difficulties.
Bottom line: expect success and you can
achieve it!

"Learn how to turn
frustration into fascination. You will
learn more being fascinated by life than
you will by being frustrated by it."

4 . FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each week or so we take a specific or
frequently asked question to or about
Jim Rohn and provide the answer!
Q. I have a question; I am
involved with a MLM company. I am truly
focused on this company and their
products. However, I am struggling. I
purchased your tape series; I normally
do not like tapes. Yours were excellent.
My problem is I NEED A MENTOR. Please
advise me where I can turn. May God
bless you and your special ministry. MW
A. Thank you for your kind words.
I was fortunate early on to have Mr.
Schoaff as my mentor. But I also had
some other very powerful influential
mentors as well. People like Napoleon
Hill, Earl Nightingale and James Allen.
Although at the time I did not
personally know these gentleman, I did
know the very best of what they had to
share from their books they wrote for
those of us who would take the time to
learn from them.
I'm assuming MW, that you are doing OK
compared to the rest of the world, based
on the question and what little I
already know about you - since you are
reading and listening to personal
development information. My advice is to
continue to search out good information
and then ACT upon it. Let every source
of ideas and motivation be your mentor,
until a live body comes along, and even
then let that person be a source - not
the whole piece of the mentoring input
into your life. Good luck!

childlike fascination with life and
people." Jim Rohn 5 . Jim Rohn Testimonials - March 25 - April 1, 2002Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E-zine subscribers.
The Challenge to Succeed is simply the
best audio series I have ever
experienced. I've listened to it over a
half dozen times, and have no interest
in stopping. I learn something new every
time.
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!
I consider anything Jim has to say, like
apples of gold...and appreciate him very
much!!
I kept hearing snippets of Jim Rohn
wisdom. I was only able to order "The
Art of Exceptional Living". It has
changed my life, and my business. Thank
you!!!
I have ordered CD's and I believe a book
in the past. I listen to these CD's at
least 10 times each. This is valuable
information for life in general.
I love Jim Rohn and Les Brown and GREAT
leaders like this that will help me in
my attitude and help me reach my next
Level.
I am an Herbalife Distributor and have
never had the opportunity to see Jim
Rohn live, but hopefully will have the
chance to one day. He is an inspiration
to all of us and I love him.
I have been inspired by 'diluted Rohn
magic' via people like Tony Robbins and
have only recently become aware of Jim,
having just acquired the Leadership
videos I am totally hooked, and could
not believe what I had been missing. New
dawning of a new day!!
What I have read of Jim Rohn until now,
just pr. E-mail is great. It has changed
my life to the better.
Jim Rohn is the best motivator for
enhancing your life.
We thank the good Lord who has used Mr.
Rohn to help us change all that by
changing our minds and thinking!! Now we
are going to get our OWN library
started! We even credit our salvation to
Mr. Rohn who changed our minds about
reading the Bible! Thanks is not enough!
I am in need of Jim's GREAT words of
encouragement.
It is a great privilege and an honor to
have the philosophy of Jim Rohn to be
expounded and spread through my website.
Wonderful collection of gems of
thoughts, for sharing with entire
humanity!
I want to continue improving myself to
be a better servant of our Lord as a
husband, employee, friend, mentor, dad,
brother, son, citizen, and to recognize
the opportunities disguised as problems.
Jim Rohn transcends people by being a
real person. I look forward to eating
this up, digesting it and snacking on it
for a long time.
We receive your E-Zine all the time and
it is awesome. Have wanted to purchase
some of Jim Rohn's products for a while
now and decided that now is a good time
to do it.
Fabulous, fantastic set of tapes! We
love Jim in the UK!
Excellent!
Thank you for offering this Package A.
It will be a valuable addition to my
toolbox of professional and personal
development, plus I plan to give one to
my dear business partner, Brenda
Hamilton. I know she'll enjoy it. Thanks
so much and may God Bless you all!
Life has a wonderful meaning when we
commit to apply all the exceptional
teachings of Jim Rohn. Thank you very
much for helping us to walk the path of
constant improvement. God bless you all!
You are the best, I do enjoy all that
you say and do. I plan to be a student
of yours for many years to come. Thanks
Jim.
I have the tapes "Challenge to Succeed"
and I listen to them all the time. When
I'm home I'm listening to it, when I'm
sleeping I fall asleep listening to it,
when I'm in my car I listen to it. It
soothes me... been depressed for a long
time and listening to "Challenge to
Succeed" relieves me. I live my life a
lot better by making sure that I don't
"get through the day", but "get from the
day".
I ordered the Weekend Event and have had
it in the DVD or CD player at home and
in the care since the day it came. Thank
you so much for the education and
motivation it has given. I have an
11-year old grandson I am raising full
time and plan to have him listen to some
of the sessions with me.
Thank you E-zine readers, for the
sincere and kind words of encouragement
and appreciation you sent us this week!
