Welcome to Jim Rohn's Weekly E-zine Jim Rohn International - The Official Site of America's Foremost Business Philosopher Today's issue is going out to 107,948 weekly subscribers. Thank you in advance for forwarding this issue to friends, family and associates! "God has the tough end of the deal. What if instead of planting the seed you had to make the tree? That would keep you up late at night, trying to figure that one out." Jim Rohn Today's issue includes: 1. Article - Keeping a Journal - One of the Three Treasures to Leave Behind by Jim Rohn
1. Keeping a Journal - One of the Three Treasures to Leave Behind If you're serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal. Don't trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down. I used to take notes on pieces of paper and torn-off corners and backs of old envelopes. I wrote ideas on restaurant placemats. On long sheets, narrow sheets and little sheets and pieces of paper thrown in a drawer. Then I found out that the best way to organize those ideas is to keep a journal. I've been keeping these journals since the age of twenty-five. The discipline makes up a valuable part of my learning, and the journals are a valuable part of my library. I am a buyer of blank books. Kids find it interesting that I would buy a blank book. They say, "Twenty-six dollars for a blank book! Why would you pay that?" The reason I pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. All my journals are private, but if you ever got a hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars. I must admit, if you got a glimpse of my journals, you'd have to say that I am a serious student. I'm not just committed to my craft, I'm committed to life, committed to learning new concepts and skills. I want to see what I can do with seed, soil, sunshine and rain to turn them into the building blocks of a productive life. Keeping a journal is so important. I call it one of the three treasures to leave behind for the next generation. In fact, future generations will find these three treasures far more valuable than your furniture. The first treasure is your pictures. Take a lot of pictures. Don't be lazy in capturing the event. How long does it take to capture the event? A fraction of a second. How long does it take to miss the event? A fraction of a second. So don't miss the pictures. When you're gone, they'll keep the memories alive. The second treasure is your library. This is the library that taught you, that instructed you, that helped you defend your ideals. It helped you develop a philosophy. It helped you become wealthy, powerful, healthy, sophisticated, and unique. It may have helped you conquer some disease. It may have helped you conquer poverty. It may have caused you to walk away from the ghetto. Your library, the books that instructed you, fed your mind and fed your soul, is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind. The third treasure is your journals: the ideas that you picked up, the information that you meticulously gathered. But of the three, journal writing is one of the greatest indications that you're a serious student. Taking pictures, that is pretty easy. Buying a book at a bookstore, that's pretty easy. It is a little more challenging to be a student of your own life, your own future, your own destiny. Take the time to keep notes and to keep a journal. You'll be so glad you did. What a treasure to leave behind when you go. What a treasure to enjoy today! To Your Success,
2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn Change/Choice/Decision One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever appears on your mental "I should" list. Indecision is the thief of opportunity. Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do? You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight. Decision-making can sometimes seem like inner civil war. I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change. Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will." It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off! You cannot make progress without making decisions. We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation. I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change. If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
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 39 years.

Listening To The Coach by Zig Ziglar The young athlete who aspires to greatness, generally speaking, learns a number of things from several different coaches. The first one taught him the fundamentals; the second one instilled discipline in him and taught him more of the techniques that must be mastered to excel. Finally, the coach who had the rare ability to spot the athlete's unique talent and then maximize that talent by teaching proper techniques. The one thing coaches cannot tolerate... is the individual who grows arrogant because he excelled at a lower level and believes he has nothing else to learn... The coach clearly understands that regardless of the extent of the talent, it can be more completely utilized if the proper coaching technique is applied. That coaching technique will include teaching the athletes to become team players by fitting their individual talents into the team. That's significant, because there is a dramatic difference in an all-star team and a team of all-stars. The coach's job is to take the stars and make them a team. The athlete who won't be coached simply never moves up to that last level, which is necessary for maximum personal performance and a must if the athlete is going to be a major contributor to the success of the team. The blending of this talent into the "team" applies in any family, business, orchestra, stage production, or any other organization of more than two people. Think about it. Listen to the "coach," and I'll see you at the top!

5. Jim Rohn Testimonials - April 22 - April 28, 2003 Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E-zine subscribers.
Currently enrolled in One-year Program. Best thing I have ever done in the personal development world. That is why I am getting information about the affiliate program. My wife and I are starting our own business and would like to share Jim with our clients through our testimonial and our website (which is under construction). I have received the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan package some weeks ago and am working my way through it and I find it really great and useful. We had the honour of meeting Mr. Jim Rohn just a few weeks ago at the 20th Anniversary Celebrations for Herbalife International in Adelaide, Australia. He is an incredible person - he probably doesn't realise how many people there are like us around the world who respect him so much and deeply appreciate him for the impact he has made, and continues to make, on our lives. Thanks for the one-year program - I'm enjoying it AND making changes in my life!!! You have a wonderful site!!!! Thanks. Mr. Rohn is awesome!!!! Thanks, I have learned a lot, this One-Year Plan has gotten back to walking, to learning, and to setting goals. Jim has become one of my favorite Mentors! I have really enjoyed the program so far!! There is an abundance of practical material that has already helped me to improve certain areas of my life. Thanks so much. Jim Rohn is very easy to listen to and what he says makes so much sense -- I listen to my tapes in my car usually. Absolutely Awesome Products!! I listen to the CDs over and over. The books are wonderful. I can see myself developing and growing each and every day. This is a great site and I have been receiving e-mails for over a year now. They are the highlight of each week and the motivation provided is exceptional and life changing. When I speak before groups for training purposes many of the thoughts and ideas I share are formulated from the material I read. Mr. Jim Rohn has changed my life. At my first meeting with him at Sydney, he said, "For things to change you have to change." Since that day I am a new person. Thank you Jim and God bless you. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
