******************************************************** Today's issue includes: 1. Article - Personal Philosophy is Like The Set of The Sail by Jim Rohn 1. Personal Philosophy is Like The Set of The Sail by Jim Rohn In the process of living, the winds of circumstances blow on us all in an unending flow that touches each of our lives. We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at such different places at the end of the journey? Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent? What guides us to different destinations in life is determined by the way we have chosen to set our sail. The way that each of us thinks makes the major difference in where each of us arrive. The major difference is the set of the sail. The same circumstances happen to us all. We have disappointments and challenges. We all have reversals and those moments when, in spite of our best plans and efforts, things just seem to fall apart. Challenging circumstances are not events reserved for the poor, the uneducated or the destitute. The rich and the poor have marital problems. The rich and the poor have the same challenges that can lead to financial ruin and personal despair. In the final analysis, it is not what happens that determines the quality of our lives, it is what we choose to do when we have struggled to set the sail and then discover, after all of our efforts, that the wind has changed directions. When the winds change, we must change. We must struggle to our feet once more and rest the sail in the manner that will steer us toward the destination of our own deliberate choosing. The set of the sail, how we think and how we respond, has a far greater capacity to destroy our lives than any challenges we face. How quickly and responsibly we react to adversity is far more important than the adversity itself. Once we discipline ourselves to understand this, we will finally and willingly conclude that the great challenge of life is to control the process of our thinking. Learning to reset the sail with the changing winds rather than permitting ourselves to be blown in a direction we did not purposely choose requires the development of a whole new discipline. It involves going to work on establishing a powerful, personal philosophy that will help to influence in a positive way all that we do and that we think and decide. If we can succeed in this worthy endeavor, the result will be a change in the course of our income, lifestyle and relationships, and in how we feel about the things of value as well as the times of challenge. If we can alter the way we perceive, judge and decide upon the main issues of life, then we can dramatically change our lives.
To Your Success, 2. Vitamins for the Mind Career/Marketplace by Jim Rohn My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for as an investment in your future. Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than you found it. Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace. If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and good service in a customer, you can make a fortune. Don't just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make something of you. Lack of homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom. Where you start in the marketplace is not where you have to stay. The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don't. We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value to the marketplace, but we get paid for the value, not the time. Here's the major problem with going on strike for more money: You cannot get rich by demand. ================================================== 3. Ten Steps To Goal Getting by Zig Ziglar
These ten steps will help you achieve your goals in 2004. 2. Commit yourself to detailed accountability. Record your progress toward your goals every night, and list the six most important things you need to do the next day. Daily discipline is the key to reaching your goals. 3. Build your life on a sold foundation of honesty, character, integrity, trust, love, and loyalty. This foundation will give you an honest shot at reaching any goal you have set properly. 4. Break your intermediate and long-range goals into increments. 5. Be prepared to change. You can't control the weather, inflation, interest rates, Wall Street, etc. Change your decision to move toward a goal carefully--but be willing to change your direction to get there as conditions and circumstances demand. 6. Share your "give-up" goals (i.e., give up smoking, being rude, procrastinating, being late, eating too much, etc.) with many people. Chances are excellent they're going to encourage you. 7. Become a team player. Remember: You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. 8. See the reaching. In your imagination see yourself receiving that diploma, getting that job or promotion, making that speech, moving into the home of your dreams, achieving that weight-loss goal, etc. 9. Each time you reach a goal your confidence will grow so that you can do bigger and better things. After accomplishing any goal, record it in your journal, Weekly Planner or Palm Pilot. 10. Remember, what you get by reaching your destination isn't nearly as important as what you become by reaching your goals--what you will become is the winner you were born to be!

Chris Widener in his article, "Finding the Right Way to Motivate Your Employees" recently wrote, "Zig Ziglar says that there are three main ways to motivate people in general and employees specifically. They are fear, incentives and growth. And that most people come to the end of being driven by fear and incentive, but are innately driven by something even deeper - personal growth, because it scratches an itch that lies within each person. Every person has within them, a desire to get better." Chris also suggests that every business owner should simply make part of their core values a plan that will give regular opportunity for personal and professional growth to all members of their staff. He says that as you invest in your employee's personal growth they will reward you with high motivation!

"I received my Jim Rohn "Weekend Event" 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. 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!"

In closing, 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 packages. 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 these packages is that they contain multiple units! You can easily share them among your office or home and still have weeks/months worth of materials to review. We do realize many of you might already have a product or two in these different packages but might like to take advantage of the special offer anyway. Since we will not be able to substitute, change or subtract out previous purchases from the already greatly reduced pricing - the contents of a package, this gives you a great opportunity to pass the additional products to a friend or colleague. ******************************************************** 5.
