Special Note: This Friday is July 4th, and for those of us here in the United States, we will be celebrating our Independence Day. Last year we ran an article by Jim entitled "America, A Depository of the Gifts of the World", and ever since we have received requests to re-run it. So we felt this would be a great opportunity in honor of our Independence Day to run this article again (see Section 4) as well as Vitamins for the Mind having "America" as the featured topic. Enjoy and let freedom ring around the world!

1. Preparation for Your Presentations by Jim Rohn (Excerpted From the Jim Rohn Millennium Weekend Event)
Persistence in your presentations, this is one secret to success. After my first presentation, I got up and did it again. Even though I was scared to death, I did it again. And that second one wasn't too good, but guess what. I did it again, and I did it again. And I worked up my courage, and I did it again. I committed to it, and I did it again. And finally, it got to be a little bit easier. I got a little more acquainted with the art of presenting. So have something good to say in your presentations. Preparation for your presentations, this is another key aspect. Here are some words to help you in preparation.
To prepare to have something good to say, keep a keen interest in life and people. Don't let your senses go dull here. Guess what most people are trying to do - get THROUGH the day. Here is what I am asking this unusual audience to do - get FROM the day. Get from the day a clear picture of the drama of human life - some doing is right, some doing is wrong. Some gathering in; some throwing it away. Some building reputations; some letting it all slide.
Get from the day what is happening in politics. Read the newspapers. Read the magazines. Find out what's going on. Get from the periodicals. Get from what's happening. Get from your job. Get from your career. Get from the people around you. What is happening in the community? Get from all of that. The positive side, the negative side.
My parents used to say, "Attend everything." Some things are so costly; they might be out of reach for a while. Andrea Bocelli came to Beverly Hills. Guess what the tickets cost? $2500.00 for a two-hour performance. That is pretty good pay. So some things might be out of reach, but whatever you can go to, get to. Save up the money and go, so that you will be more aware of what is going on around you.
Keep up that interest in people. Why do they do what they do? How come things are happening today that didn't happen thirty years ago?
Now the next word is fascination. Be fascinated with life and people and drama that is live and in color every day. Cinemascope. Fascination goes a little bit beyond interest. Interested people want to know does it work. Fascinated people want to know how does it work.
Kids have this unique ability to learn several languages in a six, seven-year period, and the reason is because they are so fascinated. They are so interested. They are so curious. Kids have to know, and that is how the drama of their learning takes on such speed in a fairly short period of time is because of this unusual interest and fascination and curiosity. We're walking on ants, and kids are studying them. They say, "Don't walk on those ants. I'm studying them." How come an ant can carry something bigger than they are? That is a good question. They must be unbelievably strong if they can carry something bigger than they are.
Here is something else I've learned. To be fascinated instead of frustrated. It is just a little trick to play. The next time you're tempted to be frustrated, see if you can't turn it into fascination. Instead of a frown, it puts a smile on your face. Now sometimes you look a little weird, but so be it. He says, "How can he smile?" I don't know. He must be somebody different.
Babe Ruth - Home Run King - back in those days of baseball used to strike out and come back to the bench smiling. They used to say, "Babe, you just struck out. How can you smile?" "I'm just that much closer to my next home run. Just stick around. It won't be long. One will be sailing over the fence." So find things fascinating instead of frustrating. Just try it. I've learned how to do it. Now make this note. It doesn't work every time. Nothing works every time, but every time you can get it to work, guess what? It will benefit your day. You'll get more from it. You'll be fascinated instead of frustrated.
Now I've also learned the ultimate. I'm fascinated by my own frustration. How come it doesn't take me long to loose it on occasion? It must be from my father's side. My mother was a gentle soul. Just find it all fascinating. I've talked to a lot of the Network Marketing companies over the years, and I give them that little clue. Somebody joins and you think they're going to stay forever, and they leave right away. You have to say, "Isn't that interesting?" And someone you thought would never make it, sure enough they become superstars. You have to say, "Isn't that interesting?" You say, "I thought they'd stay forever, they don't stay. Isn't that interesting. I didn't think they'd do anything, look what they're doing. Isn't that interesting?"
So that is a good phrase. Find it interesting. Find it fascinating. Wow, I never thought that would happen. I had another picture in mind. Wow! Was I ever wrong. And it's good sometimes to be wrong on the positive side. I didn't think it was going to work, and it worked. Say, "What if somebody doesn't look at your business opportunity?" Say, "What if they do?" It doesn't take much to turn the question around. Say, "What if they won't join after they look?" "What if they do? What if they join and stay." But I've got a better question, "What if they do stay?" "What if they quit after three months?" I have a better question, "What if they stay?"
So sometimes little tricks you can play to give yourself a different look because somebody could either stay or leave and wouldn't it be better to assume that they would stay and then if they leave say, "Isn't that interesting?" I have learned to do that with myself. "Wow! Look what I did. Isn't that interesting? Wow! I thought I was going to behave better. Wow! I lost it. Isn't that interesting? I thought for sure that wasn't going to bother me. Sure enough. I thought I had a handle on this. Looks like I've got some work to do." Find yourself fascinating and interesting as you journey through life. Give yourself a chance.
Now here is the next word that is very important if you want to be a good communicator, and that is sensitivity. Sensitive to someone's drama and trouble and difficulty. As you contemplate your own, now you can be sensitive to someone else. And there is no better way to be helpful than to do your best to try and understand. Here is the old phrase we've heard it, let's jot it down this time. "Learn to walk in someone's shoes for a while. Try to understand where they are." How come they're in this dilemma? Maybe it's something I don't know. I don't understand. How come this person is losing his temper when he should keep it? Who knows what might have happened the last three weeks. I don't know. Let's give somebody room by trying to understand.
Be sensitive to someone lashing out and being difficult at the same time. Hey! We can handle that. We don't have to retaliate and fight back. Can't we say, "Maybe there's a good reason this person behaves in this way." That is an easier way. Sensitivity. Trying to understand. Trying to comprehend the full drama of human experience. One of the greatest phrases in the Bible, "Blessed are the peacemakers." Guess what a peacemaker is? Someone that you hope is around when the conflict could be resolved. Someone who understands both sides and brings them together. Say, "I know you've got some animosity, but now that you've fought and that didn't settle it... couldn't we get together and reason this whole thing out.
So in times of conflict, we look for a peacemaker. And the peacemaker has to understand both sides of the issue. Say, "I understand your dilemma, and I can see where you're coming from, and I can understand why you said what you said then you said what you said. But hey! Isn't there a better way? Couldn't we find a better way to settle it all?" And that is what we are looking for.
Parents have to learn to be peacemakers when there are two sides to an issue and maybe neither one is that far wrong. But to try to settle it, we have to understand both sides. We have to understand the feelings on both sides, and that kind of sensitivity gives us a wonderful opportunity to grow, so that we can communicate and our words will be meaningful. Then the test comes, and the drama comes and the time comes to step up and speak or to sit down and speak or to be quiet and speak or to be loud and speak. Whatever that might call for, we'll be prepared if we do have a genuine understanding. So preparation in all areas of life is so vital to your success. Don't be lazy in preparing; don't be lazy in laying the groundwork that will make all of the difference in how your life turns out.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
America by Jim Rohn
The Pledge of Allegiance starts with "I" and ends with "all." That's what America is all about - "I" (individual) and "all" (all of us). When all of us understand how valuable each of us is, that's powerful. And here's what else is powerful: When each of us understands how powerful all of us are.
In America we have the greatest chance for opportunity than anyone else in the past six and a half thousand years. Never, in recorded history, have so many different gifts from all over the world been deposited in one country.
In America, everything you need to succeed is within reach.
One of the great liberal documents of the world is the Declaration of Independence. One of the great conservative documents of the world is the Constitution of the United States. We need both documents to build a country. One to get it started - liberal; and the other to help maintain the structure over the years - conservative.
==================================================
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.

3. Keys to Success in Sales and Life by Jeffrey Gitomer (Excerpted from the Jim Rohn Two Day Weekend event - June 22 and 23, 2001)
Go milk your own cows first for new business and referrals. You see you have a choice - you can go to your neighbor's cows and milk them or you can milk your own cows, which are full of milk in the morning, see, but you run out and get in your car and drive right past your own barn. You go out and try to milk your neighbor's cow. Now what happens if you try to milk your neighbor's cows? They shoot you. That is correct. That would be the same as a cold call. But your present customers are your biggest overlooked resource.
The next thing I want you to do is to position yourself in the marketplace. Position yourself as a person of value by being seen and known in your community. That is the only way you are going to overcome this obstacle. When I moved to Charlotte, I moved there during the recession, 12 years ago. You know what I did? I sold while other people whined. I would go out and sing karaoke and have a good time. The next day I would go out all happy, knocking on doors, making sales. Making sales. Make your decisions in tougher times based on the person you want to become not based on some kind of quota or some kind of monthly quota or nut. Don't do it based on the nut that gave you the nut. Make your decisions based on the kind of person you want to become. That is the best way you can make a long-term decision.
The next rule is work while others sleep. I wake up in the morning real early. I'm a morning person. It took me 42 years to figure that out. I thought I was a night person, but most people who think they are night people are just going out at night getting all sloshed up and they can't even get up in the morning. That is the problem, but everyone is a morning person. I figured that out finally, so get up before everyone else gets up. I write. I write for an hour everyday.
Bet on yourself. If there is an amount of money you can bet, gamble and bet on yourself. You are the most valuable person in the world you can bet on. You better get in shape to do it or you won't win the race.
Jim Rohn made a public announcement that he is going to better next year than he is this year. What a way to put yourself in front of the people who love you. He is challenging himself just the same way he is challenging you to become a better person next year than you are this year. But he is putting it out there for everybody to see that he WILL be better. Most people are afraid to put their goals out in public because if they don't achieve them, they're going to look bad. I have a feeling that Jim Rohn will be better next year than this.
Here is my challenge. You were better at sales when you were four years old. I want you to go back and retain and regain the tenacity you had at the grocery store with your mother when you were four years old and you were asking for a candy bar. Somewhere between that four-year old thing and you getting your business cards printed, you've lost that tenacity. I am challenging you to get it back, along the way. I want you to ignore nay Sayers, idiots and zealots also known as pukers. And there is a ton of them. Don't let those people discourage you. Don't let them get in your way. Most of you can identify them real easily. They are the ones who are drunk on the weekends. Do you want another beer or would you prefer a huge glass of success. Go for success. People will try to rain on your parade because they have no parade of their own.
Want it bad. I want you to have the burning desire. If you have the burning desire you will be known as an achiever. Achievers are hot. How hot are you? Hard work makes up for a lot. Want to get lucky? Easy. Work your butt off. You will be the luckiest person in the world, and be aware of and be ready for divine intervention. If you don't think you have a guardian angel, think again. I can promise you I have an ever-present, extremely expensive guardian angel and so do many of you, people who catch you just before you land flat on your face.
Go make it happen baby!

4. America, A Depository of the Gifts of the World by Jim Rohn
What a privilege it has been to come into your homes and offices around the world. Being able to share with you has been one of my great joys!
As we´ve entered this new millennium, one of the major challenges for all of us is to learn to live together on this one planet we all share. Hopefully we will all discover that by living and working together we will all benefit.
I believe America is a great example of this. Guess what has made America powerful? The blending of many ethnic streams that have come to America over the last 200 years. No country has been such a depository of the gifts of the world like America. For over 200 years, people have come from all over the world to America, bringing with them their recipes and their food. Their music and their dance and their artistic ability. The gift of law and the gift of government. The gift of medicine and the gift of healing. The gift of religion and the gift of the work ethic.
All of this did not start here. All of it came here from all the countries of the world. In fact it is an incredible list - how many people outside their native countries live in America. The most Japanese outside of Japan live in America, the most Italians outside of Italy live in America, the most Koreans outside of Korea live in America, the most Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico live in America. You can go right down the list, country after country. The list is so long it's unbelievable, but that is what has made America so unbelievably powerful. The contribution of all the ethnic streams that have been coming here for 200 years is incredible.
We must all now recognize what an incredible opportunity we all have before us, as this giant planet seems to get smaller all around us. And remember that it is our diversity that when mixed together can create genius. It is the combination of the soft sound of the flute and the crash of the symbols that make up the brilliant sounds of the symphony orchestra. In our challenges to learn better how to live together, let us also find new opportunities to create future genius and miracles in our world and with each other.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Our blowout offer the last two weeks truly has been just that. The orders are still pouring in. So, in light of the short week and holiday weekend, we will be extending it through July 7th. That means you have 6 days left to receive "The Greatest Personal Development Product Ever Created!" at a substantially discounted price, plus free shipping and 12 bonuses!

The Jim Rohn Weekend Event - Excelling in the New Millennium (with the option for CD's only, DVD's only or both - plus bonus products and free shipping - a must for every company and home viewing library)
Allow the 21 hours of unparalleled success ideas and strategies, including goal setting, financial independence, communication skills and life balance (plus over 350 additional subjects and sub-subjects) help guide you to even greater success and goal achievement in 2003.
"I received my Jim Rohn "Weekend Event" 2 days ago and I have not been able to stop watching it! I literally have thousands of dollars of audio/video programs in my library and this is, by far, the very best I have ever seen! Jim was at the top of his game and you captured it on DVD for the world to see. The guests were at the top of their game and you got all of that too. I was very disappointed that my schedule would not allow me to attend the event, but after watching the DVD's for two solid days, I'm no longer disappointed because I feel like I was just there! The absolute magic of it all is that I will have this amazing, life changing, totally awesome program with me for the rest of my life. I can't thank you, Jim, the other speakers, and everyone else behind the scenes enough for the excellent, outstanding effort. It is my sincere opinion that if someone were to pay $10,000 for this package, they still got the deal of the century!" -- Warm Personal Regards, Ron Henley
Key points:
- For less than $150 you now can receive 20 CD's (plus over 12 bonuses and free shipping), and for less than $350 receive 21 hours on DVD, 20 CD's, a 254-page workbook (plus 12 bonuses and free shipping) what Platinum package attendees paid $1995 per ticket and $3490 for a couple to receive.
- Receive on digital video (DVD) and digital audio (CD) the entire Jim Rohn Weekend Seminar (the best Weekend event of all time! Jim was his BEST! The audience was their BEST! All captured on film!) - Subjects by Jim include Enlightened Self-Interest, Personal Development, Communication, Goal Setting Workshop - Creating the Next 10 Years, Financial Independence, Time Management and Leadership with a myriad of sub-subjects interjected as well. (The previous Jim Rohn Weekend event available on video was recorded over 15 years ago and sold for $895, now you receive the entire weekend event on DVD and CD plus all the bonus sessions listed below).
8 Bonus Sessions:
- Zig Ziglar, at his very best, speaking on "Surviving in a Tough Economy" and "How to Make Every Day the Day Before You Go On Vacation".
- Day 1 VIP lunch with Jim Rohn and Zig Ziglar. Absolute magic, one for the ages! Zig and Jim answer questions related to raising kids, major definite purpose and the meaning of success and spirituality. This was an opportunity to hear the private thoughts of two legends in the Personal Development industry - well worth the price of admission.
- A special teenager session with Jim Rohn and interviewer Kym Yancey. It was an unbelievable sight, seeing teenagers fill the first several rows, and hundreds of other attendees staying as well (this was hosted at the end of Day 1). The questions from Kym and the teenagers were "on the money" and Jim was in his element sharing the ideas that changed his life with a young impressionable audience. Charlie "Tremendous" Jones practically stole the show with a special 15-minute appearance, as he read the daily letters he had received from his son while he was away at college. The letters were a result of the many book reports his son had been paid to do by Mr. Jones on the great personal development books of the past as well as the classics.
- Saturday VIP breakfast and a one-hour talk by "Mr. Presentation" Tony Jeary, on what else? Presentations. Again, training from the man who coaches the presidents of Ford, New York Life and SAM's Club was worth the price of admission.
- Special guest presentations by Bob Burg, John Hayes, Jan Ruhe, William E. Bailey, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones and Jeffrey Gitomer combined to give almost 3 hours of power packed ideas and strategies for success.
- Day 2 VIP lunch featuring Charlie "T" Jones, Bob Burg and Tony Jeary. Again, another home run as they share the power-packed ideas that have helped them achieve extraordinary success.
- The Sunday Mastermind session with Jim, the special panel and 100 Platinum attendees. The ideas were in great abundance. (Even during the editing process our editor kept stopping the video to write down the ideas that flowed, from both the panel and the impressive group of Platinum's gathered from around the world.) This session alone is worth the price of the entire package!
- DVD 8 is one more bonus of over three and a half hours. Throughout the event on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we worked behind the scenes putting together special interviews - 9 total. Interviews include Kym Yancey and Alan Rothman with Zig Ziglar, Charlie Jones, Tony Jeary, Jan Ruhe, Bob Burg, Jeffrey Gitomer, Don Sanders, John Hayes and William E. Bailey. Again so many great, useable ideas!!!
We believe these 21 hours of footage will be the most powerful, life-changing and results-oriented DVD/video you will have in your film library, and it will continue to pay dividends for decades to come. In addition, the 20 CD's give you the ability to listen to the information and strategies over and over again in your car.
We, along with the group of trainers listed above, have invested thousands of man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to create the above package. Fortunately we are not asking you do either. On your end, it is just the simple investment of 30 minutes to 1 hour per day utilizing this powerful material, all for the cost of a cup of coffee or soft drink. And the return? Hopefully 2, then 5, then 10, then 100 times return on your money and your time, starting now and to follow for many years to come. And the great thing about this package is that it contains multiple units! You can easily share them among your office or home and still have weeks/months worth of materials to review.
Start the second half of the year off the right way and let 21 hours of unparalleled success ideas and strategies, including goal setting, financial independence, communication skills and life balance (plus over 350 additional subjects and sub- subjects) help guide you to even greater success and goal achievement in 2003 and beyond.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Each week or so we take one or two specific or frequently asked questions about or addressed to Jim Rohn or Jim Rohn International and provide the answer!
Q. Kyle, Every week I get a great offer in the Jim Rohn newsletter that I would like to offer to my newsletter subscribers. However, only occasionally you send me a link that I can add my ID to, in order to promote this special offer. The link is generally in the form of:
http://sp3.jimrohn.com/ps.dll?a= plus my affiliate i.d. (This one was for the Zig Ziglar Blowout package.)
I'm wondering if I see an offer in the E-zine, if I can just follow that format and add my Affiliate ID to make the offer available to my subscribers? If I do this, will I still be eligible for the commissions, and will your system track that my link is the one that my subscribers clicked on?
Here is the link from the E-zine about the Weekend Event:
http://sp5.jimrohn.com
If I add my ID, will my commissions be tracked?
Thanks for your help. I really enjoy offering your products to my subscribers. Thank you,
C. B.
A. That's a great question. Yes, you can always add your affiliate i.d. to any url we have and it will track your affiliate sales. So for the http://sp5.jimrohn.com url, it would be http://sp5.jimrohn.com/ps.dll?a= plus your affiliate i.d.
For those who want to become Jim Rohn Affiliates here are 2 great points:
1) It's free - go to http://www.jimrohn.com and click Affiliates Program (at the home page, on the left hand side in the directory) and it will give you the details.
2) One of the best parts of our program is the life time customer tracking (again go to Affiliate Program link on our site for details).
Thanks again! Kyle

7. Kick Off July With the One-Year Success Plan
As we look forward to the second half of the year and if you are not currently a member of the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan, make sure and sign up in time to kick off July with our comprehensive 52 Week Game Plan and 12 Pillars of Success.
Plus:
We're throwing in 12 Additional Bonuses (only 5 days left)!
If you're like most people, 2003 has been a ride and the word "busy" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. At the same time there is a group of individuals who have seen their time, skills and income continue to increase and their relationships, health and spiritual lives begin to flourish.
We have been searching for a way to enable more of you to be part of a transformational journey. The testimonials would take up over 50 pages if we were to list them all and the value of the products alone that you will add to your library is in the thousands of dollars, yet the investment can be as low as $39 a month for 5 months to begin a one-year journey of success, empowerment, growth and goal accomplishment.
We have created The Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan with the idea of:
1) helping people not only grow but to flourish in 12 major areas of their lives
2) making it financially affordable to our readership
3) including high-end CD's, DVD's and books for your self growth training and to build your library
4) having monthly experts as part of our 12 conference calls
5) having monthly themes with 4 weekly email lessons (that can also be referenced as often as needed)
6) including a comprehensive workbook covering all 52 lessons
7) providing bonus downloadable books and audio programs throughout the year
8) allowing the student to make a commitment (which is 90% of any and all success) but also allowing the student major flexibility and to progress at their own pace
The program is succeeding in an overwhelming fashion. It is helping people see their future, their goals, new ideas and paradigms for the first time. It is opening up new ways to view their circumstances along with strategies on how to make better decisions. It is bringing the world's best experts and training right into their own homes and allowing them to access it at their own convenience.
A One-Time Offer and We've Thrown in 12 Additional Bonuses!
For more information or to enroll today go to http://jr1.jimrohn.com or call 800-929-0434. We look forward to having you join us!

I have been thinking lately about our hitting the halfway point in our 52-week journey. The course has contained some very thought provoking ideas and questions. The goals material requires a lot of work, but then I'm coming to realize that going through it will qualify me to deserve the rewards. I have realized that I don't have to stop going through the material at the end of twelve months, but can repeat it from beginning to end or revisit specific topics as needed. I wish to thank Jim and everyone associated with providing the course.

When I saw Jim in Las Vegas the beginning of June at Extravaganza, and he said, Ad libbing here, "We've all been through a long winter, but spring is here". I think the whole room cried. I felt such a weight lifted that I didn't even know I was carrying. Jim really is one of us! He understood our long winter as he lived it with all of us but most of all, he knew just what to say to end that long winter and we really, really appreciate his wisdom.
-- Karen Umstattd
I have some of Jim Rohn's tapes and books and find him to be truly motivational. I was also at the Seminar of the Century this past weekend and there was information there about him.

Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
