"You must constantly ask yourself
these questions: Who am I around? What are they doing to me?
What have they got me reading? What have they got me saying?
Where do they have me going? What do they have me thinking?
And most important, what do they have me becoming? Then ask
yourself the big question: Is that okay?" Jim Rohn

1. Scolding: One of Communication's Tools of Last Resort by Jim Rohn (Excerpted from Jim Rohn's 2004 Weekend Leadership Event)
You have to be very careful of scolding.
Scolding, as a last resort, may be necessary but
you must be very careful. Scolding someone is
like giving them a cut, giving them a small cut
with your words on the hand. Maybe it will serve
its purpose, and the cut will heal and
everything will be okay. You needed to get their
attention. But you must not do it everyday, all
the time. Some children end up with
psychological scars because they have been cut
(scolded) everyday. Scold, scold everyday and
they wind up psychologically disadvantaged
because of that kind of treatment. Because
somebody has the words, but words that are
cruel; and they use them too often, all the time
rather than saving them up as a tool of last
resort. They just cut and scold all the time,
and kids sometimes have a hard time working out
of this because of that kind of environment.
"Too severe, it's too severe", we say. In some
countries if you steal, they cut off your hand.
In our country we'd say, "That's a bit too
severe isn't it?" But guess what they say, "It
is very effective." Ask someone who has stolen,
"Did you ever steal anything else?" And most
assuredly they will answer, "Are you kidding
with just one hand - No!" So it is effective,
but we say too severe.
So parents, let me talk to you about cruel and
unusual scolding. You must be gifted in thinking
of ways to effectively communicate with your
children. Now sometime severity is needed as a
last, last resort. John Kennedy's father, "Old
Joe", said this to John, and you will see when I
give it to you that it will serve you in so many
ways. Now here is what "Old Joe" said: "If it is
not necessary to change, it is necessary not to
change." I am sure you got that message now.
If it is not absolutely necessary to scold, then
it is necessary not to scold. If it is not
necessary to use sarcasm, then it is necessary
in your communication not to use sarcasm. If it
is not necessary to get angry, then it is
necessary not to get angry; you get the idea.
If a parent screams all day at her children, the
kids finally get used to it. They learn to say,
"Momma, she just screams all day." Kids come
over to visit and the kids say, "Don't mind
Momma, she's just a screamer, she just screams
all day." So the kids are just used to it. But
now here is the big problem... when the 3-year
old child heads for the street and a truck is
coming and Momma screams; and nobody pays any
attention.
See Momma should save up her screams, so the day
it becomes a necessary tool of last resort, and
she does scream, the world stops! See that's the
key. These are called, "Tools of Last Resort",
use them well!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Communication/Persuasion by Jim Rohn
Better understated than overstated. Let people be surprised
that it was more than you promised and easier than you said.
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!" versus "So what?"
Learn to express, not impress.
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. Problems are a Normal Part of Change by Denis Waitley (Excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn Weekend Event CD/DVD Package)
When asked, "How do you develop mental toughness in life?", my
response might sound negative at first when I answer, "Always be
prepared for a surprise. The surprise might be a negative surprise.
Something is going to happen in your day, whether you are late
because you got stuck behind a train or your car had a flat tire --
something is going to happen... And the key is your ability not to
take mole hills and look at them as mountains."
Problems are a normal part of change. Things are changing so rapidly
that there are going to be problems you face. So you must look at
failure as an event, not as a person. I'm not a failure. Maybe I've
had a failure or a temporary inconvenience. I've had a stumbling
block, and the idea is to turn the stumbling block into a stepping
stone, and step on it instead of stumble over it. So look at failure
as the fertilizer of success.
Fertilizer stinks, it smells. You see that guy putting it on his
lawn and you say, "Wow, that guy fertilized his lawn." You fertilize
your mistakes. You don't wallow in them, lay in them, roll in them;
you pick yourself up off your mistakes and learn from them. You try
not to repeat that same thing again. But you look at it as a
temporary inconvenience, as a detour -- a detour in life -- not as a
failure."
Denis Waitley

4. Special 2006 Offer From Jim Rohn!
Special 2006 Offer From Jim Rohn!
What a great time of the year to
restart and commit to your own
personal and professional
development!
"After
seeing a "behind-the-scenes"
interview of Chris Widener by Jerry
Clark, with Chris sharing his life
story and how he originally came up
with the name of his company, "Made
For Success", I invited my 8 and 10
year old kids to watch it over again
with me. From there, the 3 of us
started reading one chapter each
night from Chris' new book The
Angel Inside and then discussing
it afterward. Then after hearing Vic
Johnson's VIP Breakfast and the
story of John Goddard, I was
instantly moved to spend the rest of
that morning setting my top 50 life
goals. Which then in turn got me
back to keeping a daily journal on a
consistent basis.
Then - after seeing the Teen Session
with Jim, Denis, Charlie
"Tremendous" Jones and Chris Widener
- again I invited my wife and kids
to watch it together. Afterwards, in
addition to many other insights and
decisions, we made a decision to
read one personal development book
together every two weeks, at night
(what Denis Waitley, at the event,
called "Prime Time" to building your
own life). We then have the kids do
a book report on each book (as
Charlie "Tremendous" Jones
suggested), and in turn they receive
money to go toward their college
fund.
I've never seen them so motivated to
read personal development books
before.
There are so many more stories I
could share." -- Kyle Wilson,
President of JRI
The bottom line is this: The 2004
Event on 24 CDs and 24 hours on DVD
is a great group training
opportunity - at home, at the
office, with your sales team or with
a friend. Currently you can receive
the entire 2004 Event including
DVDs, CDs, workbook and bonuses at a
very special price plus free
shipping in the US. One of the
bonuses includes an additional
workbook to share! Again, that is 24
CDs and 24 hours on DVD, plus the
283-page comprehensive workbook and
bonuses - for just the old "dollar a
day" investment in yourself and
family.
Also, receive as an additional bonus
- 90 Days to Life Change!
Yes, for everyone who purchases the
2004 package they will now also
receive The 90 Days to Life
Change! email support/idea system
- FREE! I am 100% sure of this: if
you go through the 2004 Event from
CD 1 to CD 24, you will forever be
changed for the better.
And if you do this with a group and
have multiple reminders, feedback
and input coming your way, it will

follow-through to watch and listen
to the program, to engage those you

First, influence is powerful; and second, influence is subtle. You
wouldn't let someone push you off course, but you might let someone
nudge you off course and not even realize it." Jim Rohn
