Article - Mr. Shoaff's Simple Strategies to Success by Jim Rohn
1. Mr. Shoaff's Simple Strategies to Success by Jim Rohn My first mentor, Mr. Shoaff, over a five-year period of time before he died at age 49, taught me some extraordinarily simple things. He only went through the 9th grade in school. He never finished high school, never went to college, never went to a university. So he put his experiences and ideas in very simple language, which, I think for me - kid from the farms of Idaho - was so important. When I would say, "This is all the company pays." Mr. Shoaff would say, "No, that is all they pay YOU." I thought, "That is a new to look at it." I told him things cost too much. But he said, "No, you can't afford them." Well, that was a new concept for me. He promised that if I would improve, then I would qualify for more money. So I learned that we don't have to work on the company, we have to work on ourselves. If it had been technical, I would have missed it. If it had been mystic, I would have backed away. But it was just basic, blunt "a-b-c" familiar stuff that I hadn't thought of before. For me it was the beginning of what he called "personal development". Mr. Shoaff also taught me that life puts some of the more valuable things on the high shelf so that you can't get to them until you qualify. If you want the things on the high shelf, you must stand on the books you read. With every book you read, you get to stand a little higher. And the "biggie" that forever had an impact on me, "Success is something you attract by the person you become." That phrase changed my life. Success is not to be pursued, but to be attracted by the person you become. Put your energy into becoming a better you, the best you. Learn the skills. Practice the skills. Attract the success. These simple strategies and ideas helped change my life, forever, for the better. Thank you, once again, Mr. Shoaff.
To Your Success, 2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn Leadership/Management by Jim Rohn "The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not a bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly." "We must learn to help those who deserve it, not just those who need it. Life responds to deserve not need." "My mentor said, 'Let's go do it', not 'You go do it'. How powerful when someone says, 'Let's!'" "Good people are found not changed. Recently I read a headline that said, "We don't teach people to be nice. We simply hire nice people." Wow! What a clever short cut." "Managers help people see themselves as they are; Leaders help people to see themselves better than they are." "Learn to help people with more than just their jobs: help them with their lives."
================================================== 3. Strategic Thinking by Brian Tracy The Quality of Thoughtfulness Your Most Powerful Tool Use a Two Pronged Approach The purpose of strategic planning is to increase return on equity. The guiding principle of strategic planning and strategic thinking is to organize and reorganize the resources and strengths of the individual and the organization so as to produce the highest amount of quality and quantity of outputs relative to inputs. The central focus is always on bottomline results. The key question is always, "How can we best deploy the assets and resources of this organization so as to achieve greater and better results than we are achieving at the present time?" Increase Your "Return on Energy" In personal terms, strategic planning is an exercise in increasing "return on energy." Your greatest single asset is your earning ability. And your earning ability is nothing more than the total of the mental, emotional and physical energies that you can apply toward getting valuable results for yourself and your company. Anything that you can do to increase your return on energy invested will increase your overall levels of effectiveness and contribution in every area of your life, especially, and most importantly in your work. Action Exercises Here are two things you can do immediately to increase your return on equity and your return on energy. First, think about everything that you are doing in terms of its financial return to your organization. What are the things that you do that yield the highest return on equity? Whatever they are, do more of them. Second, think in personal terms about the things you do that give you the highest return on energy. Where do you contribute the greatest value and achieve the greatest satisfaction? Whatever they are, do more of these things.

This Package will help you to: * Increase Sales * Increase Productivity * Increase Your Skills * Increase Your Time * Increase Results * Improve Relationships * Excel in Economic Downturns * and Much, Much More! If we told you that in addition to receiving 80% off the normal retail price, that you will also receive free shipping, over $100 in Bonuses and a payment option - would you be interested in receiving such a package? This package includes Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy and contains over 36 hours, 27 modules and over 1,000 wealth-building ideas. It has been translated from five powerful "live" seminar days onto audiocassette/cd and video/DVD, and can be purchased for a fraction of the "live" seminar cost (can also be purchased in individual units). With the package you receive: - 5 Days "live" of Jim Rohn/Brian Tracy audio or CD and video or DVD - 27 Modules on everything from Leadership, Setting Goals, Financial Independence, Time Management to Self-Esteem in Sales, Balancing Family and Business and Negotiation - Over 1,000 of the world's greatest success ideas and principles - Over $100 in additional bonuses (for the first 100 to order) - Free Shipping All this for less than $200 (over 80% off the total retail value) or an option to pay out over 3 months. The Jim Rohn/Brian Tracy Five Day Seminar Package Now, instead of paying $2,000 to attend these five days and hear this valuable information just one time, you can receive the entire audio/video package and have it available for unlimited review for yourself and your family for only $199. Your question could very well be why would Jim and Brian make THIS ONE TIME OFFER for ONLY $199 for the entire contents of their seminars? The answer is three-fold: First, Jim and Brian already have extremely crowded calendars and more speaking events are not an option. Secondly, since they each do their own Two Day Seminars (Brian's Success Mastery Academy and Jim's Weekend Seminar) only one time every two to three years, it dramatically limits the number of people that can attend. Thirdly, the cost of paying both the tuition and travel expense to attend these life-changing and enhancing events can be prohibitive for many people. So in the interest of offering an incredible value and giving thousands more people the opportunity to have access to some of their very best material, Jim and Brian have put this package together. In order to take advantage of this offer, please read below (make sure you respond no later than March 31, 2003 to take advantage of the steep discount, free shipping and bonus products). What is the Five Day Seminar Package? It has been translated from five powerful "live" seminar days onto audiocassette and video, and can be purchased for a fraction of the "live" seminar cost. Included in these five days (36 hours, 27 modules and over 1,000 wealth-building ideas) is Brian Tracy's Two Day Success Mastery Academy (16 audiocassettes or 16 CD's, workbook and 16 modules), Jim Rohn's 1999 Weekend Seminar (12 audiocassettes or 12 CDs) and Jim Rohn's One Day Seminar - How To Have Your Best Year Ever (4 videos or 1 DVD), plus additional bonuses. If you were to attend these five days in person, the investment could be as much as $2,000 to hear the information just one time (verses the luxury of having it recorded to listen to over and over again). The information Jim and Brian share in this 5-day course not only encompasses business and success principles, but also physical, spiritual, relational and financial principles of success.

******************************************************** 5. Jim Rohn Testimonials - March 11 - March 17, 2003 Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E-zine subscribers.
We buy and give out to our new associates Jim's tape 'Building Your Network Marketing Business.' Love Ya, Love Ya, Love Ya! The products I have purchased from Jim are incredibly insightful. Praise God for people like Jim who share their wisdom to help shed light on a new entrepreneur's journey! Wonderful, life changing information given by a very dynamic speaker! Thanks! Hi, I have been receiving Jim's ezine since AREC 2002 which was in Sydney Australia and I really enjoyed listening to his presentation. Also I enjoy reading the weekly ezine! I love your message and pass it on to many. I want to say a big 'thank you' for mails that you have been sending to me. They've been challenging and awakening. I have since become so conscious of my personal development, career progression and success. I have always been wondering, if only the mails could have such a positive impact in my life, what about the 12-month success plan? God bless Jim Rohn and his team! Jim Rohn is my favorite mentor. Much of what other personal development trainers say comes from him. Good Evening. I was introduced to Jim Rohn's philosophies some six or eight years ago. We (my wife and me) saw a video of a seminar Jim held in Brisbane, probably in the 1980s (he was using a chalk-board). In the intervening period we purchased four of his books; The Seven Strategies for Wealth and Happiness, The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle, The Seasons of Life and The Treasury of Quotes. On a trip to Australia, we purchased several of his audiotapes and a treasured video, Designing Your Life, again videoed in Brisbane but in 1993 from memory. As you can see, we are great admirers of his teachings. We would like to receive your generous offer of three free weeks. Keep it up because your books are inspiring and help people to locate their destiny. I have only heard one of Jim's tapes (network marketing) and that was all it took to let me know that "This IS Good Stuff"! I look forward to hearing a lot more. Thank you for running the special. Personal growth and leadership development is what I enjoy the most! It encourages me each day & I want to share his inspiration with all our distributors! This is a wonderful offer! It has allowed me the resources to change my life that I could not have afforded at this time. Thank God! I think I have "Goal-Fear" or something! Thinking ahead is a bigger challenge than I realized! But I'm keeping at it. Not quite keeping UP, but keeping AT. Not easily discouraged. So keep up the good work because this is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. My wife and I both love listening to Mr. Rohn. This purchase is a result of the e-zine and my experience Mr. Rohn's awesome teachings. I really enjoyed listening to the cassettes and have already completed reading the book 'Season of Life' which I thoroughly enjoyed as well. Great! I enjoy Jim 's tapes and listen to them all the time. Jim is truly amazing. He is the best of the many speakers I've listened to. My favorite teacher. Through the years I have collected all of Jim Rohn's audiotape series plus books and have presented Treasury of Quotes to many. Thank you so much for the Nine Things More Important Than Capital. Just what I needed to spur me on in my new endeavor. I feel armed and equipped to take on this challenge, even without a lot of monetary capital. Long-time fan and owner of many of your works. This sounds wonderful and every time I read about this I get excited – I am in South Africa - but wish you all the best in the wonderful work which you are doing to change people's lives. I always look forward to getting the weekly e-zine. Keep the world motivated! When we were with Life Force before we received your tapes for encouragement. On our way to Alberta we listened to all your 10 tapes, what powerful message, the trip was over in no time! I am currently signed up for the Jim Rohn One Year Success Plan. I love the course and it has already helped me. Experienced Jim Rohn at the Herbalife Extravaganza in New Orleans, June 2002. He was awesome! Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
