**************************************************************** Today's issue includes: 1. Article - Success Is Everything by Jim Rohn
1. Success Is Everything by Jim Rohn Someone once said to me that success isn't everything and I think I know what they really meant. I believe they really meant that money wasn't everything and I certainly agree with that. But I do believe that success IS everything. First you need to succeed to survive. We must take the seasons and learn how to use them with the seed, the soil and the rain of opportunity to learn how to sustain ourselves and our family. But then second is to then succeed to flourish in every part of your life. Good question to ask mature people "If you could do better should you?" And I thing almost everybody would answer the question in the positive. If you could improve your health shouldn't you do that? If you can learn more shouldn't you do that? If you could earn more and share more, shouldn't you do that? If you can improve your relationships and spirituality shouldn't you do that? And I think that is what success is really all about. It is not just a destination that is set for everybody to try and go for. It is like Zig said, "improving in every area of your life to see if you can't with satisfaction at the end of the day, week, month and year and say 'I have made excellent progress this year, for myself, for my family, for my business, my career and my health'". I think that kind of success everybody recognizes is legitimate and something we should all strive for. Interesting phrase in the bible that says strive for perfection - not that we can ever reach it. But it is in the striving, to be a little bit better today than yesterday, in our speech, our language, our health, everything we can possibility think of. So yes, in my opinion it is good to succeed! To Your Success, 2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn Basics/Fundamentals by Jim Rohn Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. There are no new fundamentals. You've got to be a little suspicious of someone who says, "I've got a new fundamental." That's like someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing antiques. Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done. Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
================================================== 3. Succeeding in Tough Times by Kyle Wilson (Excerpted from Week Twenty-One of the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan) I've been noticing (and I'm sure you have to), while many companies and individuals might be struggling right now, that there is also a group of companies and individuals flourishing. I've also noticed there are some common characteristics found in these companies and individuals who seem to be doing well during some of these uncertain times. Here are five characteristics that stand out: 1) These companies and individuals operate from a win/win philosophy and inherently value their business relationships (customer's, employees and vendors). When you understand and appreciate this principle it allows you to create and receive value both on a short and long-term basis, as well as recognize and be in line for new opportunities that begin to present themselves. 2) These companies and individuals have an entrepreneurial mindset. Although, it's true that when a boom is going on the entrepreneur is often leading the way, I've also noticed that when the water is high (things are going good), everything tends to even out (everyone seems to be doing well). But when it all starts to go south, it is then that entrepreneurs can rise more quickly and distinguish themselves. Their ability to take risks, be decisive, recognize and seize opportunity and to basically "create", allows them to find a way to make things happen. 3) These companies and individuals have an excellent work ethic and focus. In sports, if you were to ask, who in their respective sport has been a dominant figure, three immediately come to my mind - Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretsky. Beyond their remarkable ability and talent, there is also something about these three that help propel them into greatness - their fierce competitiveness and their incredible work ethic. How do you beat the most talented person in the world when they will also out work you and have a "will to win" that is not to be exceeded? Well, the same is true in business. The top performers do not get complacent. They do not rest on their laurels. And they don't decide that because they are doing well or are on top that that is good enough. Their work ethic and drive to be their personal best has allowed previous victories and momentum to carry over into more success (even in difficult times). 4) These companies and individuals have made a commitment to succeed. Making a decision is the prerequisite to all successes. As Jim says, all good things are upstream, but the natural tendency is downstream. Commitment creates the mindset that allows us to face challenges, shut out negative circumstances and discomfort and then move upstream towards our goals. 5) These companies and individuals operate out of faith. Without faith it is impossible to take risk. Without faith it is impossible to make investments of time and effort in the present hoping for a future reward. And without faith it is impossible to make short-term sacrifices on a consistent basis. Faith allows you to be free to give and be your best, knowing that the reward will manifest itself sometime in the future. Faith also allows you to find the opportunity that often comes disguised in the form of a problem or challenge. While others are "missing it" or spending their time and energy complaining, the person/company of faith is identifying and seizing new opportunities. Question - how do you rate yourself in these five areas above? I would estimate much of where you find yourself today could be directly related to how well you have fared the past few years in regards to the five points above. The good news is today is a new day, a new opportunity. Finally, we want you to know that we love hearing all the testimonials and success stories from our enrollees. And we want you to know that now is your time, the time to work on yourself, your relationships, your business, etc., and then to attract all the success outcomes you deserve. While you are creating the new you, look at every challenge you might be facing as an opportunity to "create" new and better outcomes. Life is full of opportunities. Go For It!

******************************************************** 4. The Five Day Seminar Package Blowout Offer (Only 6 Days Left)! For the next week we have put together an incredible one time offer that is a must for every personal development and office library. 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 18 - March 24, 2003 Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E-zine subscribers.
This 12-month plan is the absolutely the best I have ever come across yet!! I can almost see how everything is going to unfold over the next few months. Thank you, Jim Rohn Very excited about your special offer! Thank you for making this valuable resource available to people like me who are new (poor) entrepreneurs with big dreams. We love Jim Rohn and want to reward our organization with his products. Excellent and inspiring. I've had the Challenge to Succeed for many years and have literally WORN OUT THE TAPES! First off let me say thank you for your book "7 Secrets to Wealth and Happiness". I have had it for years and tried to put into practice the good advice it contains. I received the book before it was actually published. I was working for a copy shop in Sacramento at the time and Prima Publishing was running some copies of it early on. Anyway, they gave us a few after the first hardback printing and I got one. Best free book I ever received... I have always wanted to say thank you. Glad to see your weekly subscribers numbers are going up, congratulations; you deserve the best, you deserve the credit. Your audiotapes occupy most all of my driving time. We thoroughly enjoy Jim Rohn and appreciate what he does for Herbalife distributors! There is none better! I have started to go through the weekend event. Tremendous! I am overwhelmed by the 1-year course. Incredible value! Jim Rohn.... Better than ever, ever, ever before!!!!! Nice – What an event!!!! No words can ever make justice to his presentation. But spring has really come along, and may God bless as all that as many as possible will seize the opportunity and give themselves a chance to get this picture of life, opportunity and hope for humanity. Love to the very, very master of masters. Jim- Thanks so much for everything. You have changed our lives! Your weekly e-mail is very informative and inspiring. Thank You. I'm learning and moving forward in my life w/ the Success Plan course. I wish I'd had it 30 years ago. But better now than never. Maybe I can change the direction of my family and some of the people around me. Thank You so much. Love the material. I've listened to the Challenge to Succeed tapes dozens of times. I just order the special package "5 Days Live" with Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy, what else can I say except "WOW" This is such an unbelievable offer, who can refuse to take advantage of it? My wife and I attended Jim Rohn's Weekend Training in 2001 and found it stimulating and beneficial to both our business and personal lives. I have seen Jim speak at the Mortgage Broker's annual convention in Portland, OR. He is an excellent speaker. I have also watched his videotapes on "How To Have Your Best Year Ever". Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
