Walking a New Road by Jim Rohn (excerpted from the Take Charge of Your Life 6 CD series) Here is a good question to ask yourself. Ten years from now you will surely arrive. The question is, where? We don't want to kid ourselves about where; we don't want to kid ourselves about the road we're walking. At age 25, I had a day shortly after I met Mr. Shoaff called "do not kid myself anymore" day. I didn't want to be disillusioned anymore. Up until then, I had been using the crossed-finger theory. But after meeting Mr. Shoaff, I finally decided that the crossed-finger theory was not going to get me what I wanted. That it wasn't where the treasure lies. That I was going to have to make sure which way I was headed Then, with the help of Mr. Shoaff, I found with a few reading disciplines, and a few disciplines of mind, and a few disciplines of activity, that when exercised, can begin making all the difference in the world as to where you will arrive. Just a few changes. Sometimes we get the idea that we're doing about 10% and there's about 90% more that we need in order to make the difference for our fortune but probably the opposite is true. We're doing enough things to have bought and shared in the good life so far. And maybe all we need is that extra 5% or 10% of intellectual change. Activity change. A refinement of discipline. A refinement of thought. And all we need is the ideas to make those simple changes and the equity starts gathering in one year, three years, five years, ten years. I have a good comment for you: Now's the time to fix the next 10 years. Now, you may have to come to grips with reality and with truth; that's what was good for me when I met Mr. Shoaff, I was 25 years old, he was 44 years old. And he brought me a wealth of experience and he started asking me the tough questions. "Big question", he said, "Are you reading the books that are going to take you where you want to go in the next 5 years?" Excellent question. See, you want to make sure. I would assume for all of you, to get to where you want to be in the next 5 years, you are either reading the right books or you're not. You're either engaged in the disciplines or you're not. But, here's what we don't want to engage in: disillusion. Hoping without acting. Wishing without doing. The key is to take a look and say, "Where am I? What could I do to make the changes to make sure that I can take more certain daily steps toward the treasure I want, the mental treasure, the personal treasure, the spiritual treasure, the financial treasure? I don't want to make any more errors, now's the time to adjust my daily program to take me where I want to go." In lecturing the last 39 years, I've gotten letters and personal testimonies of people that have done such remarkable things with just a few suggestions. And that is why seminars, tapes and books can be so valuable. Here's a key idea for us all to remember: We could all use a little coaching. When you're playing the game, it's sometimes hard to see it all. But the key is to start right now making these changes to walk this new road. And here's what's exciting to me, just a few daily disciplines makes a great deal of difference in one year, three years, five years. And before you know it, you will be walking a brand new road. To Your Success, Jim Rohn

Vitamins for the Mind Lifestyle by Jim Rohn Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. Lifestyle is the art of discovering ways to live uniquely. Some people have learned to earn well, but they haven't learned to live well. Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style. 3. An Excerpt From 22 Success Lessons From Baseball By Ron White Robert Frost and Bobby Thigpen Bobby Thigpen spent most of his career with the Chicago White Sox and had a good baseball career. However, I am sure that it's a little known fact that he also fancied himself as somewhat of a poet. That's right... a poet. The man who the White Sox looked to in the ninth to mow down batters could have been the next Robert Frost. Actually, that may be an exaggeration. His poetry most likely would not have received an 'A' in any Junior High English class. Thigpen, after his first full year in the Major Leagues, posted a 7 and 5 record with 16 saves and an ERA of 2.70. But, he did sense that the possibility of not being signed was real. He sent this short poem to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf: As I sit at home this off-season, Reinsdorf could roll with the punches and promptly responded with some rhymes of his own. I hope you are a really good pitcher, At this point it was getting fun. And Thigpen couldn't resist but to respond with more poetry of his own. Thigpen sent this gem to his fellow poet: It is true that my potential as a poet is very small, Thigpen didn't get his salary doubled like he wanted. But, he did get signed and had a nice career. Someone once said that, 'Life is too serious to be taken seriously.' Thigpen is a man who had an unconventional and fun approach to a very serious issue, such as his salary. How often in business and life do you make a serious situation only more serious by being unnecessarily stoic. If we can learn any lesson from Thigpen it would be to lighten up and have some fun.

6. Jim Rohn Testimonials - April 12 - 18, 2005
I simply cannot believe that a whole year has gone by since you started sending me the Silver Package for the One-Year Success Program! The first year has already had its results and has got me thinking "out of the box" - very glad indeed that I invested in it. Three years ago this week I was broke at the lowest ebb I had ever been. The future was more than bleak then I was introduced to the Jim Rohn Ezine which had an amazing effect. Jim Rohn said, your income can be directly related to the amount of books that you read. I started reading and bang my income went through the roof ten, twenty times it increased, but as Jim says its not the money ,its the person you need to become to achieve this. Thank you Jim Rohn for laying some basic fundamentals down that have changed the lives of so many people like me. Before Jim Rohn I seemed to be looking at an hopeless end to my life and now thanks to Jim I have endless hope. One of my associates in a network marketing business recently sent me a clip of your Weekly Ezine and I am writing to request that I be added to the list of recipients. What I read in the last message was so rich and I intend to pass first begin implementing some of the ideas myself, and passing along the information to my new business associates. I look forward to receiving your tips and suggestions and am excited! at the me I am becoming. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! God bless you and the work God is doing through you. I have been a student of Jim Rohn since the early 1980's when I first became part of the Herbalife organization. Thank you so much for all that you do. Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI "There is no greater leadership challenge than parenting." Jim Rohn 7.
