I cannot tell you what a difference this course is making in our lives. Though many difficulties and distractions (we are a little behind) but wow, what a difference to our lives already. This has been the best present to myself that I could have ever bought. Thank you
-- Sharon Brownlee
Wow! What else is there to say. This last 12 months has been a truly outstanding experience - the things I've learned, the improvements I've made - wow! I've had my ups and downs, my challenges and my successes and it feels as though you've all been by my side supporting me and giving me the courage to move forward. As we complete this incredible one-year journey, I am also completing goals and dreams that not so long ago were so daunting that my heartbeat would quicken with fear just thinking about them. Along the way, I have learned how to be a better husband, what it's like to be a father with the birth of my first born son in the middle of this program, to be a better friend to strangers and to those closer to me, stretched out to become a major shareholder in two companies that revolve around my definite chief aim, and much much more. You have introduced me to incredible teachers along the way - branches that led off to people like Brian Tracy, Vic Johnson, etc., etc. I am so proud of myself for learning your message of how discipline is so important and proving to myself that discipline is not a burden on my shoulders but rather by my side helping me to achieve great things. Thank you to all of you at Jim Rohn International - I know it must be a big team effort. Thank you Jim, Kyle, Chris and everybody else involved in making this a truly incredible journey. And to think, after 2 years of Life Mastery with Tony Robbins, I felt I had spent enough time on personal development - you have opened my eyes to the wonderful experience of continuous learning. On behalf of my family and all those whom I come into contact, Thank-you & God Bless you all.
-- Les Gordon, Hong Kong
Dear Yveatte, Jim and Kyle, thank you for the Jim Rohn One Year Success Plan. The Success Plan is fantastic. My life is changing and I know this is just the starter for the future. I have told my friends that this program is actually beginning now as I started to redo and evaluate all the weeks again. So I'm very glad to hear of Year Two for Jim Rohn One-Year graduates. I have decided to continue the ongoing journey into self-awareness and growth.
-- Smari Josafatsson
I have truly appreciated the mentorship of Jim, Kyle, Chris and the special guests over this past year. What a wealth of practical information to apply to my life. What a difference it has made. Please give my thanks to each of them. They have been a blessing to me.
-- Bryan Feemster
Dear Mr. Jim Rohn, thus far, I have found the program to be awesome and very enlightening! I'm ashamed to think I allowed myself to back pedal so much in my life. I commend you for your help and the ability to have someone like you to help me back on the right road with your teachings. They certainly are inspiring.

1. The First Step for Getting Better Results by Jim Rohn
How dramatically we can change our results is largely a function of imagination. In 1960, it was a technological impossibility for man to travel into outer space. Within ten years, however, the first man stepped out onto the surface of the moon. The miraculous process of converting the dream into reality began when one voice challenged the scientific community to do whatever was necessary to see to it that America "places a man on the moon by the end of this decade." That challenge awakened the spirit of a nation by planting the seed of possible future achievement into the fertile soil of imagination. With that one bold challenge the impossible became a reality.
- The Same Principle Applies To Every Other Area Of Our Life! -
Can a poor person become wealthy? Of course! The unique combination of desire, planning, effort and perseverance will always work its magic. The question is not whether the formula for success will work, but rather whether the person will work the formula. That is the unknown variable. That is the challenge that confronts us all. We can all go from wherever we are to wherever we want to be. No dream is impossible provided we first have the courage to believe in it.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind
Communication/Persuasion by Jim Rohn
For effective communication, use brevity. Jesus said, "Follow me." Now that's brief! He could be brief because of all that he was that he didn't have to say.
You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that which you do not feel. You cannot translate that which you do not have. And you cannot give that which you do not possess. To give it and to share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good communication starts with good preparation.
The goal of effective communication should be for listeners to say, "Me, too!" verses "So what?"
Learn to express, not impress.
Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
Be brief on the logic and reason portion of your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen will do.
Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.
What is powerful is when what you say is just the tip of the iceberg of what you know.
It's not the matter you cover so much as it is the manner in which you cover it.
==================================================
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. Make Motivation Last By Zig Ziglar
Is motivation something that gets you excited for the moment and lets you down the next day, or can it endure for a long time?
I see the impact of motivation in people's lives every day. I get many letters and phone calls from people who say motivation has completely changed their lives. Yet other people say that motivation has had little impact on them.
A study at Stanford University has provided the reason for the variance. According to the study, only 5 percent of the people who buy into a concept are able to implement it; the other 95 percent don't have the resources to do so. Those few words created as much excitement in me as any single sentence ever has, because they made something crystal clear: The books and tapes are the resources! That's why I get so many more letters from people who say that my books and tapes have changed their lives than I get from people who say that my speech changed their lives.
The next time you see an author who presents a philosophy or concept that you believe can enrich your life, I encourage you to take the following steps:
1. Check out the author's credentials and see whether he or she can document the results you hear being touted.
2. If the evidence is solid, buy the book or tapes.
Books and tapes give you the resources you need to implement the concepts. When you take those steps, you make certain that the motivation you feel at the moment can survive the day and impact your future over the long haul. People who are concerned about their futures take the necessary steps today in the form of growing, learning, studying, and planning for their futures. This process generates enthusiasm and excitement about their futures, so they take the necessary action to ensure those futures. People who aren't concerned about their futures because they don't think they have futures are the ones who take no action. They drift along, singing the old Doris Day song, "Que Sera, Sera," and they drift into their declining years without any excitement or, in most cases, without any resources to enjoy even the basics of life without depending on others.
It's interesting to note that these two groups of people live at the same time, possibly in the same area, and may work in the same job or profession. It's not the absence of opportunity but the absence of motivation that is the problem for the second group. If you think you have no future, let me suggest that having a future is a matter of choice. If you continue to read books and start setting specific goals, you are doing something about your future. Your excitement (motivation) grows, and from that point on, you can develop the actions that dramatically enrich your future.

5. 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. 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. MW thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your question. We have all heard the phrase "when the student is ready the teacher will appear." I believe there is truth to that. So you are already off to a great start, because it appears you are searching for positive influences in your life.
I was fortunate early on to have Mr. Shoaff 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. And this is available to anyone 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. And as you do your part you will also then begin to start attracting positive role models and teachers into your life.
Also, I would like to invite you to enroll in our One-Year Success Plan. The results have been remarkable for our enrollees and it will serve as a 52-week mentor for you in 2004. To learn more go to http:/jr1.jimrohn.com
Hope this helps!

I wanted to say that my husband, Greg, and I met you last month at the Herbalife World Team School in San Antonio. We attended the leadership breakfast with Michael Johnson, Dr. Heber and yourself. You may remember Greg - you spoke to him in the hall (outside the restroom) for a short time after the breakfast on Saturday. I have to say that it was truly an honor and a pleasure to meet you in person and shake your hand. Herbalife has been an incredible journey for us. We've faced many struggles and challenges along the way (mostly with ourselves). You have an amazing gift, and your years of serving others with your teachings has not only been a great source of information and inspiration to us, but is helping us to grow to become the people we so desire to be. Thank you. I've seen you quite a few times over the last few years at different Herbalife events, but San Antonio was different. You touched my heart. You were at the top of your game - the best I've ever seen you. Life is beautiful. I want you to know that you are a big part of helping us create a magnificent lifestyle for ourselves and our family. It's amazing that such simple words can be said in such a powerful way to change a life. We are grateful to you. Wishing you many blessings for you and your family in 2004 and beyond. Thank you very much. I'm hoping I can get the missing segments to the program. If you have any questions or are unable to send them to me, please let me know. It's been an incredible year. Looking forward to bigger things in 2004.

Hi Crystal, many, many thanks for your understanding and for resolving this for me. You've made it a fantastic start to my day! Your kindness and generous action totally exemplifies what Jim and JRI stand for. Me and my family have had one of the hardest years of our lives on many different levels, and money through no direct fault of our own has been a real challenge. I work full-time and my wife is currently at home raising our two delightful children. So every amount we spend is hard thought about. Through Jim's ezine and the CDs and books that we've bought this year we have been inspired to continue doing those things that are so hard, but we know will reward us later, and we have gained the courage to start our own home based business and are committed to our own personal development, not only to help create a better quality of life for ourselves but also those around us. It is the kind of understanding you have shown that is exactly how we would treat others and wish to be treated that really lifts our spirits. Once again many thanks Crystal. Wishing you and yours a wonderful New Year and may you be blessed with all that you deserve. Take good care.

I am from Malaysia and have been a subscriber for two years now. Congratulations to you on the impact you are having on so many people around the world. In Jan 9 2001, your weekly subscriber was at 42,618. In Dec 2003, almost two years it is three times that. I have learnt from Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy that success is the little steps we take each day which people don't see nor appreciate. I have completed the one-year success course. Over the last two years, slowly but steadily I have been much affected by the words of Jim Rohn as I watched his videos, listen to his CDs and read his books. I have spent thousands on his CDs as gifts for my staff and leaders, and for my personal development. Most recently, I used many of his quotations for a set of twelve bookmarks I have created and published. I wish to thank Jim Rohn for the clarity of his spoken words. He has added value to my life so that I can in turn add value to those around me. Best wishes for the New Year.
