1. Personal Development - The Plan by Jim Rohn (excerpted from the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan - Week Two)
As we all know, our results are only as good as our plan.
Mr. Schoaff taught me that it's not what happens that
determines the major part of our future, because what
happens, happens to us all. Instead, he taught me that the
key is what we do about it. If we start the process of
change by developing a plan, doing something different in
this next year than we did the previous year, it won't
matter how small those efforts start. Start doing different
things with the same set of circumstances - the ones we've
always had and cannot change - and see what miracles occur.
If we start the miracle process and change ourselves, then
everything changes. And here's what is interesting, the
difference between success and failure is so subtle. Let me
explain by giving you my definitions of failure and success.
Here it is: Failure is a few Errors in judgment repeated
everyday. The man says, "Well I didn't walk around the block
today and it didn't kill me, so it must be okay." No, no, it
is that kind of error in judgment, that after six years has
him out of breath and panting as he walks from his car to
his office. You can't make those kinds of mistakes; it will
end up costing you.
Now, here is my definition of success: A few simple
Disciplines practiced every day. Do you see the distinction?
A few disciplines... Here's a little phrase we've all heard,
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." And my question to
you is, "What if that's true?" How simple and easy is that
plan?
The fact is, when you look at successful people, you will
almost always discover a plan behind their success. They
know what they want, they work out a plan that will get them
where they want to go, and they work their plan. It is the
foundation for success. We as humans have the unique ability
to affect change in our lives; it is through our own
conscious choice when we engage in the miracle process of
personal development that we are able to transform our
nature and our lives.
We want this first year in our program to be a success for
you -- a smashing success -- and we know that means you will
need to have a plan, and then methodically work that plan.
It is the combination of the materials and your open
attitude towards learning, driven by the diligent following
of a plan that is right for you, that will make this year
the kind of success we know you want it to be. So let me
challenge you to be no less sincere, be no less committed to
the advancement of your philosophy, the set of your sail,
your plan.
So, what are some good ideas on developing a plan that will
work well and take you to the finish line powerfully and in
style? Here are some major points to keep in mind:
Develop the Plan for You. Some people are very detail
oriented and they will be able to follow an intricate plan
closely. Others are a little more "free-wheeling" and not
really "detail" people. That is okay too. In all the years
of my speaking to audiences worldwide, people have asked the
question, "what plan is the right plan?" And my answer, the
plan that fits you. Your plan, the one you develop that is
unique to you and for you. You see, each of us is unique and
motivated by different factors and you've got to develop one
that is right for you and fits you. Some plans will not be
as intricate as others but we all must have a plan, along
with goals in that plan, to move us along the program. If
you are a free spirit type, don't tell yourself you are
going to spend 2 hours a day with a book and tapes and
journal. It probably won't happen and you will get
discouraged! Whatever your personality, your strengths and
your weaknesses, develop the plan around them! This is not a
one-plan-fits-all proposition.
Establish Times to Spend Working on the Material. It may be
every Sunday night. It may be 20 minutes each morning. It
may be in the car listening to the CD's every Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. Whatever it is, set the times and do
it. In your step-by-step plan, put down points that you can
accomplish every week. They should be specific and
achievable. Develop the discipline and take those steps
everyday, which will move you closer to your goals and where
you want to be.
Keep a Journal. Take notes. It may be on paper, it may be on
a micro-recorder. Mr. Schoaff taught me not to trust my
memory, but to write it down, to find one place to gather
the information that affects change. And that advice has
served me well all these years. Record the ideas and
inspiration that will carry you from where you are to where
you want to be. Take notes on the ideas that impact you
most. Put down your thoughts and ideas. Brainstorm with
yourself on where you are going and what you want to do.
Record your dreams and ambitions. Your journals are a
gathering place for all the valuable information that you
will find. If you are serious about becoming wealthy,
powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured,
unique, if you come across something important write it
down. Two people will listen to the same material and
different ideas will come to each one. Use the information
you gather and record it for further reflection, for future
debate and for weighing the value that it is to you.
Reflect. Create time for reflection -- a time to go back
over, to study again the things you've learned and the
things you've done each day. I call it "running the tapes
again" so that the day locks firmly in your memory so that
it serves as a tool. As you go through the material in this
plan, you will want to spend time reflecting on its
significance for you. Regularly set aside time - here are
some good guidelines for times to reflect: At the end of the
day. Take a few minutes at the end of each day and go back
over the day - who'd you talk to, who'd you see, what did
they say, what happened and how'd you feel, what went on. A
day is the piece of the mosaic of your life. Next, take a
few hours at the end of the week to reflect on the week's
activities - I would suggest at least one half-hour. Also
during that weekly time, take a few minutes to reflect on
how this material should be applied to your life and
circumstances. Take a half day at the end of the month and a
weekend at the end of the year so that you've got it so that
it never disappears, to ensure that the past is even more
valuable and will serve your future well.
Set Goals. While we are going to cover this soon enough in
upcoming weeks, let's just remember that your plan is the
roadmap for how you are going to get to your goals, so you
have to have them. Of all the things that changed my life
for the better (and most quickly), it was learning how to
set goals. Mastering this unique process can have a powerful
affect on your life too. I remember shortly after I met Mr.
Schoaff, he asked me if I had a list of my goals, and of
course I didn't. He suggested to me that because I lacked a
set of clearly defined goals that he could guess my bank
balance within a few hundred dollars... and he did! Well,
Mr. Schoaff immediately began helping me define my view of
the future, my dreams. He taught me to set goals because it
is the greatest influence on a person's future and the
greatest force that will pull a person in the direction that
they want to go. But the future must be planned, well
designed to exert a force that pulls you towards the promise
of what can be.
Act. Act on your plan. What separates the successful from
the unsuccessful so many times is that the successful simply
do it. They take action, they aren't necessarily smarter
than others; they just work the plan. And the time to act is
when the emotion is strong. Because if you don't, here's
what happens - it's called the law of diminishing intent. We
intend to act when the idea strikes us, when the emotion is
high, but if we delay and we don't translate that into
action fairly soon, the intention starts to diminish,
diminish and a month from now it's cold and a year from now
it can't be found. So set up the discipline when the idea is
strong, clear and powerful - that's the time to work the
plan. Otherwise the emotion is wasted unless you capture the
emotion and put it into disciplined activities and translate
it into equity. And here's what is interesting: all
disciplines affect each other; everything affects
everything. That's why the smallest action is important --
because the value and benefits that you receive from that
one little action will inspire you to do the next one and
the next one... So step out and take action on your plan
because if the plan is good, then the results can be
miraculous.
We are at the beginning of a fantastic journey that is going
to help us become all that we want to - so let's get going!
Until next week, let's do something remarkable!

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Health by Jim Rohn
Some people don't do well simply because they don't feel
well.
Some people take better care of their pets than they do
themselves. Their animals can run like the wind and they can
barely make it up a flight of stairs.
Make sure the outside of you is a good reflection of the
inside of you.
Treat your body like a temple, not a woodshed. The mind and
body work together. Your body needs to be a good support
system for the mind and spirit. If you take good care of it,
your body can take you wherever you want to go, with the
power and strength and energy and vitality you will need to
get there.
Take good care of your body. It's the only place you have to
live.
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. Creative Goal-Setting for Kids and Teens by Denis Waitley
An Indian guide who displayed uncanny skills in navigating
the rugged regions of the Southwest was asked how he did it.
"What is your secret of being an expert tracker and
trail-blazer?" a visitor asked him.
The guide answered: "There is no secret. One must only
possess the far vision and the near look. The first step is
to determine where you want to go. Then you must be sure
that each step you take is a step in that direction."
A dream is what you would like for life to be. A Goal is
what you intend to make happen. A goal is the near look;
what, specifically, you intend to do on a daily basis to get
there.
No matter what their current ages, try to determine the
sensory learning style of each of your children: visual,
auditory, or kinesthetic. Visual learners understand and
remember best what they see. Auditory learners prefer to
hear and verbalize in order to comprehend. Kinesthetic
learners need to involve touch and movement into the
processing of new concepts, and to learn by doing. All of
these styles have some overlap because we all use hearing,
seeing and doing. But keep these styles in mind when you
stimulate your children’s creative and goal-setting
activities.
To build a pattern of positive expectations for your
children, they need a way to keep score. Children know they
are doing well when the task or project is well defined and
the goals are clearly stated. How can a child experience the
thrill of hitting the bull's eye, when he or she doesn't
know what the target is? Kids need to see the end before
they begin a task or they will lose interest. When you are
giving your child a task, such as cleaning her room, be
specific in telling her what you want her to do and when you
want it done and stick to it. By providing a clear and
specific ending, your child can look forward to enjoying
time with her friends when the task is completed.
Goals are the target of success! Who you see is who you'll
be. What you set is what you get. Help your kids get the far
vision, the dream. Help them get the near look, the steps
and action plans that pave the road to their dreams.
Participate in your children's games, problem-solving
exercises, field trips and creative projects. Instead of
telling them how things work, help them learn to discover
the "hows" and "whys."
- Help your children dream about their future. Set the example by jotting down and cutting pictures out to describe family dreams. Assist them in defining their own goals and writing them down on index cards. Post the cards in their bedroom or on a board where they can see and review their goals daily.
- Help your kids prioritize their goals. Have them consider their goals in the order of their importance. Place beside each written goal, a proposed target date for the attainment of that goal.
- Help your child make plans. Unfortunately, many kids view problems as insurmountable mountains. Your role as parents is to help them view problems as opportunities. Teach them to go over, around, under or to bore a hole right through their roadblocks.
- Show children how to prepare a daily "to do" list. In the evening, help prepare a list of a few important things to do the following day. At the end of the day, help them review their progress. By using index cards, you can use a file box to store daily activity cards. Monthly, quarterly and yearly, let them go through the cards in the box, to see all they have accomplished through step-by-step actions.
- Help your kids to visualize, in advance, what the accomplishment of their goals looks and feels like. Bedtime is an ideal setting, where you can see in their imaginations where they want to be, what they want to do, and things they will have to work and save for to get.
- Build goals and evaluations around the school year. When you go over your child's report card, discuss the goals that he set for himself and how he is doing toward achieving those goals. Share with your child any comments teachers might have regarding his grades.
- Kids need rewards and behavior that gets rewarded gets repeated, especially if they understand that the reward is coming when the goal is accomplished. Rewards do not have to be strictly financial, but can be going out for an ice cream or whatever your child enjoys doing. By rewarding goal directed behavior, you are providing additional incentive to achieve almost any goal.

"It
is far better to give your children your time and
nurturing in the form of
Roots and Wings instead of trying to buy
their affection with Loot and Things. What do we mean by
Roots and Wings?
We must have roots in order to grow
strong and weather the buffeting winds of unforeseen
storms and the challenges of weeds and droughts. These
are character traits fundamental to long-term success,
regardless of future environmental conditions. By
wings, we mean the motivation, goal
orientation and optimism to soar and fly, becoming
independent, high achieving adults who make a positive
difference in life."
Denis has been
sharing with our staff for over a year about his passion
and vision for reaching today's kids and their parents.
He and Maryann went into the studio and began filming
and recording Roots and Wings back in November of 2004.
Then Denis and Maryann created a comprehensive workbook,
coaching calendar and several bonus CDs (including
Tips for Younger Kids, Tips for Teens and Tips for
Blended Families).
Well, it is now ready and just last week Denis and
Maryann flew to Dallas to make their presentation to our
staff. Every single person was blown away! We have since
been able to start listening to the program and it has
been 100% unanimous that this is a must for every
parent, child, teacher, etc.
Below is an email I received yesterday from Cheryl, who
holds an upper management position with a large
governmental agency (and is 100% committed to bringing
positive self-responsibility every day to her team and
job), and also works here part time because she loves
personal development. Cheryl wrote:
"I just listened
to Denis' and Maryann's new Roots and Wings program. It
is Phenomenal! The CD of music could be marketed on its
own. I had Liz listen to some of it also and she thought
it was great too. Just after what I have listened to,
every parent out there needs to hear this message and
every grandparent needs to be buying it for their kids
to listen to. You know, I have listened to a lot of our
products as well as others, and I think it's the best
product I've heard! The message is great, it's
specific, the music it has in it breaks it up and gives
a great message in another media. It is awesome!" --
Cheryl Gillette-Shaw
Here is a sample of what
is on just the first CD alone (1 of 19)
Knowing Yourself - Your Own Childhood
Background, The British Study - Your Natural Gifts,
Circle of Multiple Intelligences, Personality & Behavior
Assessments - Your Two Most Important Traits as a
Parent, Your Parenting Style - Responsiveness vs.
Demandingness, The Four Parenting Styles: Authoritarian,
Authoritative, Permissive and Uninvolved - Parenting
Style Self-Test - How Your Kids See You (The Parent
Report Card) - Knowing Your Children - Observation and
Interaction - Help Them Discover and Develop Their
Natural Talents - Your Children's Learning Style:
Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic - Assess Their Learning
Styles - Empathy Reality Check
Denis Waitley shares - "To
understand other adults requires intelligence, openness
and experience. To understand our children requires
patience, empathy and effort. To know ourselves requires
introspection, honesty and wisdom, and is one of the key
roots in effective parenting. One of the most important
elements of success is positive self-awareness. "

What is
the investment?
Last week Denis and Maryann came to Dallas and made
their presentation on this amazing program. At the
conclusion, we were all asked what price we recommended
to offer it to our customers (with the understanding
that it must be a great price, as low as possible,
despite the initial high investment that Denis and
Maryann have put into the creation of the package). The
lowest number that came back was $249; we also had $299
and $399. All were parents and all said they would pay
that price in a heartbeat after seeing the immense
value.
But here were the challenges I knew we faced:
1) Our audience would not have the benefit of hearing
and seeing Denis Waitley and Maryann Rosenthal
personally walk them through, sharing their heartfelt
thoughts and beliefs about this product and their
purpose and belief of why and how valuable it is.
2) Our audience is not able to see first-hand the
Introductory DVD, all 19 CDs or able to look through the
in-depth 256-page workbook and 365 day calendar of
Coaching Tips.
3) We were all aware of the enormous amount of money and
TIME invested in this project by Denis and Maryann and
that it was the result of over 25 plus years from each
of their own expertise and experience. Could we
translate that awareness to others?
4) Could we adequately describe how incredible and
important this package is to our audience?
5) And lastly, if being sold from the back of the room
after a 1-2 hour presentation, this would in fact easily
sell for $399, but marketing online, without the touch
and feel of a live presentation it is more difficult to
relate the true perceived value of any product.
Because of these challenges we
made the decision to come out of the gate at a very
special introductory offer of only $199.
Plus for the first 200 to
order, a special price of only $179 plus free shipping*
in the US and only $25 International (does not include
customs or duties charged by individual countries).
At this special price, we know that this new, ground
breaking program will quickly make it to market,
testimonials will start coming in immediately, and the
value of this package will quickly spread!
If you would like to be one of the first 200 to take
advantage of this special introductory offer go to

A
Final Word from Denis and Maryann:
We are excited
to offer you our labor of love, The Seeds of
Greatness: The Value-based, Family Enrichment System for
the 21st Century. You are investing in the most
precious natural resources on earth: the lives of your
children and those who look to you for guidance. We
plan to share with you time-tested principles, and
timely tips on how to plant the seeds of greatness at
home and raise winning children, regardless of their
ages.
This system is designed to reinforce the best practices
of a nurturing leader that you already know and utilize.
It will also give you many fresh ideas on making your
home a place your kids will want to come back to, rather
than get away from. This system also applies to
organizations and teams, where the team members learn
leadership skills from their own coaches and role models
within a company or work group.
You're about to experience the result of 25 years of
education, training and field-testing. A value-based
learning system and format that will give you maximum
benefits and long-term results. This is not a quick-fix,
Band-Aid program. It is based on scientific studies and
practical applications. Rather than a fad program, it is
a fact program you can try and trust with your own
family. Parenting is perhaps the only full-time,
lifelong profession for which there is no formal
education. Parenthood comes naturally. Parenting,
however, most often is experienced by trial and error,
with many trials and an abundance of errors -- many
handed down to us by our own parents. This
comprehensive, value-based family enrichment program,
The Seeds of Greatness, is dedicated to give you the
self-management traits that every leader needs to teach,
and every child needs to learn. It has been called, "The
instruction manual that should have been delivered with
each child."
We cannot teach our children the seeds of greatness. We
can only help them discover these seeds within
themselves by adding positive marks and strokes on their
slates. Being a parent is a 24/7 assignment. Every day,
in every way, we want to help you plant the seeds of
greatness in every family member. Our children are in
our care, but are not our clones. Kahlil Gibran is our
favorite on the subject: "Your children are not your
children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's
longing for itself. You may give them your love, but not
your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may
house their bodies, but not their souls. For their souls
dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit,
not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them be like you. For life goes not
backward, nor tarries with yesterday."
We hope you will gain from and enjoy this journey into
self-discovery with us for the most noble of all causes
in human development: that of preparing your children to
fulfill their highest aspirations in their own lives.
The seeds of greatness are not dependent upon the gifted
birth, the inherited bank account, the intellect, the
skin-deep beauty, ethnicity, or status. The seeds of
greatness are attitudes and beliefs that begin in
children as baby talk, as do's and don'ts, as casual
family chatter, bedtime stories, and observations - like
flimsy cobwebs, at first - then with years of practice,
become like unbreakable roots or cables to shackle or
strengthen our characters throughout the rest of our
adult lives. We are planting shade trees for future
generations under which, we ourselves, can never sit.
As you and your children experience this program, keep
in mind that parenting is like gardening. You plant, and
you wait. Some seeds take a long time to sprout and
develop. Be patient, be persistent, be there in person,
and be proud of the legacy you are creating for your
family. Our only mission in this gift to you is to
demonstrate that loot and things will never be as
valuable to you and your children as roots and wings,
and a fulfilled life as the harvest from planting the
seeds of greatness.
With faith and optimism,
Denis Waitley, Ph.D. and Maryann Rosenthal, Ph.D.

5. A Child's Bedtime Song by Denis Waitley
If I had two wishes, I know what they would be
I'd wish for roots to cling to, and wings to set me free;
Roots of inner values, like rings within a tree,
And wings of independence to seek my destiny.
Roots to hold forever, to keep me safe and strong
To let me know you love me, when I've done something wrong;
To show me by example, and help me learn to choose
To take those actions every day to win instead of lose.
Just be there when I need you, to tell me it's all right
To face my fear of falling when I test my wings in flight;
Don't make my life too easy, it's better if I try
And fail and get back up myself, so I can learn to fly.
If I had two wishes, and two were all I had
And they could just be granted by my mom and dad;
I wouldn't wish for money or any store-bought things
The greatest gifts I'd ask for are simply roots and wings.
"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." Jim Rohn

Hi guys, thanks for the email and update on your suggested 90 Days
to Life Change Program. I'm impressed thus far and looking forward
to working through the materials and hearing from you via emails.
Have a great day and thanks for your ministry.
-- John Kingston
Would it be possible to restart the 90-day program. I stayed current
most of the time but missed a few points. Basically, my results over
the past 5 months have been outstanding! I just want to do it again!
-- Jim
Your tapes have motivated me who many times has thought this
business was way too hard. I understand now that it is the little
things I do every day and not the big things, and the rest falls
into place. I am getting lots of calls now in the last few months.
Thanks for you words of wisdom.
-- Nicholas

"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." Jim Rohn
