Article - Building a Successful Team by Jim Rohn 1. Building a Successful Team by Jim Rohn Once you've set a goal for yourself as a leader - whether it is to create your own enterprise, energize your organization, build a church, or excel in sports - the challenge is to find good people to help you accomplish that goal. Gathering a successful team of people is not only helpful, it's necessary. So to guide you in this daunting task of picking the right people, I'm going to share with you a four-part checklist. Number One: Check each candidate's history. Seek out available information regarding the individual's qualifications to do the job. That's the most obvious step. Number Two: Check the person's interest level. If they are interested, they are probably a good prospect. Sometimes people can fake their interest, but if you've been a leader for a while, you will be a capable judge of whether somebody is merely pretending. Arrange face-to-face conversation, and try to gauge his or her sincerity to the best of your ability. You won't hit the bull's-eye every time, but you can get pretty good at spotting what I call true interest. Number Three: Check the prospect's responses. A response tells you a lot about someone's integrity, character, and skills. Listen for responses like these: "You want me to get there that early?" "You want me to stay that late?" "The break is only ten minutes?" "I'll have to work two evenings a week and Saturdays?" You can't ignore these clues. A person's responses are a good indication of his or her character and of how hard he or she will work. Our attitudes reflect our inner selves, so even if we can fool others for a while, eventually, our true selves will emerge. And Number Four: Check results. The name of the game is results. How else can we effectively judge an individual's performance? The final judge must be results. There are two types of results to look for. The first is activity results. Specific results are a reflection of an individual's productivity. Sometimes we don't ask for this type of result right away, but it's pretty easy to check activity. If you work for a sales organization and you've asked your new salesman, John, to make ten calls in the first week, it's simple to check his results on Friday. You say, "John, how many calls did you make?" John says, "Well..." and starts telling a story, making an excuse. You respond, "John, I just need a number from one to ten." If his results that first week are not good, it is a definite sign. You might try another week, but if that lack of precise activity continues, you'll soon realize that John isn't capable of becoming a member of your team. The second area you need to monitor is productivity. The ultimate test of a quality team is measurable progress in a reasonable amount of time. And here's one of the skills of leadership: be up front with your team as to what you expect them to produce. Don't let the surprises come later. When you're following this four-part checklist, your instincts obviously play a major role. And your instincts will improve every time you go through the process. Remember, building a good team will be one of your most challenging tasks as a leader. It will reap you multiple rewards for a long time to come. To Your Success, 2. Vitamins for the Mind Words/Vocabulary by Jim Rohn The two great words of antiquity are behold and beware. Behold the possibilities and beware the temptations. Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future. Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people. It's okay to send flowers, but don't let the flowers do all the talking. Flowers have a limited vocabulary. About the best flowers can say is that you remembered. But your words tell the rest. Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness. ==================================================
3. Be Willing to Be a Little Outrageous to Get What You Want! By Lisa Jimenez, M.Ed. Your lack of courage is costing you - a lot! It is your lack of courage that keeps you from greater profits, more intimate relationships, and a life you love! The good news is one act of courage - in any area of your life - has a powerful affect on all the other areas of your life. Your career, your marriage, your friendships need just one outrageous act to bounce you out of a rut and into a more abundant, courageous life! During one of my recent speeches, after sharing with my audience about the time I moved to Hawaii by myself at the age of 18, I asked them to yell out the most outrageous thing they've ever done in life. After a short pause a man yelled, "I once bought a sailboat, and I didn't know a thing about sailing!" Another shouted, "I walked away from a six-figure income to start my own business!" A lady called out, "I backpacked in Europe for a summer!" another shouted, "I met a man in a bar and married him - and we're still happily married today!" The synergy in that room was magical! As we relived our most outrageous acts of courage, we began to paint a path to risk again. Courage is like a muscle. It's weak until it's worked out. But it doesn't take long to build this courage muscle into a strong, fit, powerful force! What about you? What are your most outrageous acts of courage? Think about them. Relive them. And let these memories from the courageous side of you help empower the possibilities of today. One courageous act leads to another. It creates a courageous mentality. What is the one thing you are willing to do right now that's a little outrageous to get your courageous muscles back into shape? Do it! And watch opportunity begin to open up in all areas of your life. There's something about being willing to go all out that reminds us of just how big and abundant life can be. This one act of courage is your first step that will lead you to a courageous mentality and life of abundance! Make it a great and prosperous day. Lisa Jimenez M.Ed.

This is the best telecourse I've taken in the last 2 years and I've taken telecourses from Jim Rohn, Randy Gage, Brian Tracy, Big Al just to name a few. For me, this is hands down the BEST one. Angela Thrasher, Maryland "I went into my own business 7 years ago and wore many hats and placed great demands upon myself. I had very little time to myself. I was experiencing behaviors that were not common to me prior to the business venture. The first night of the TeleSeminar, Lisa spoke of self-sabotage behaviors. There they were in black and white. I experienced a breakthrough that night and the next day these behaviors were changed." Jean Alleman, Louisiana The program allowed me to have a major breakthrough to help find my life's purpose (I love the way Lisa looks at it as life's assignment). I am going to study Conquer Fear over and over again. I can see being able to renew my thinking and relieve my negative fears even more in the future.
