"We must teach our children not
to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your
money a dollar at a time, you'll wind up with trinkets

1. Labor that Works Miracles by Jim Rohn (excerpted from The Challenge to Succeed CD series)
Two thousand years ago on April 15th one of Jesus' disciples
came to him and said it was time to pay taxes (that's how I know it
was around April 15th), but they had no money. In response to his
disciple's statement Jesus said "no problem". Now why could he say
"no problem"? Well, word had it that Jesus was a miracle worker. If
you hand a problem to a miracle worker what they are inclined to say
is "no problem". You've got to hang out with people like that.
I belong to a small group and we do business around the world. These
guys are all miracle workers. What an incredible group. If you hand
any of them a problem guess what they say, "no problem". How many
books will they read to solve a problem? As many as it takes. If
they need to consult - how much consulting will they do? As much as
it takes. How early will they get up? As early as it takes. "No
problem"... you got to hang out with people like that. You cannot
believe the thrill of being associated with miracle workers, people
who will do whatever it takes to get the job done and perform
miracles.
When asked about paying the taxes Jesus said it was "no problem". In
fact, he said it was going to be easy - he told the disciple to just
go fishing. Now it couldn't have been any easier than that,
especially for this disciple whose name was Peter, because Peter was
a fisherman. Now if you can fish and you should fish and you don't
fish - then that is why you do not get a miracle. But Jesus told his
disciple to go fishing and the first fish that he caught to look in
its mouth. Peter, who was used to strange things happening, agreed.
Well, the first fish Peter catches, he looks in its mouth and finds
coins. Peter then adds up the coins and they are exactly enough to
pay his and Jesus' taxes.
"Wow!", you might say, "That is a miracle!" Here is why we call it a
miracle - simply because we don't quite understand how it works.
That's all. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just means we don't
quite understand how it works. Which is true of all miracles. In
fact, for most of us – our whole life is a miracle.
How about this miracle... God says if you plant the seed I will make
the tree. Wow, you can't have a better arrangement than that. First,
it gives God the tough end of the deal. What if you had to make a
tree? That would keep you up late at night trying to figure out how
to make a tree. God says, "No, leave the miracle part to me. I've
got the seed, the soil, the sunshine, the rain and the seasons. I'm
God and all this miracles stuff is easy for me. I have reserved
something very special for you and that is to plant the seed."
I have found in life that if you want a miracle you first need to do
whatever it is you can do - if that's to plant, then plant; if it is
to read, then read; if it is to change, then change; if it is to
study, then study; if it is to work, then work; whatever you have to
do. And then you will be well on your way of doing the labor that
works miracles.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Basics/Fundamentals
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the
natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.
There are no new fundamentals. You've got to be a little suspicious
of someone who says, "I've got a new fundamental." That's like
someone inviting you to tour a factory where they are manufacturing
antiques.
Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on
Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job
done.
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced
every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment,
repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines
and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
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. All Speaking is Public Speaking by Patricia Fripp CSP, CPAE
Recently I was talking to a member of a consulting firm. He said
his firm thought intellectual capital and the ability to articulate
a message clearly were key. His problem; he often found himself
struggling when approached in the hall by the head of another
department or a senior executive. For him, it is much easier to
speak in front of a large group than to master the skill of the
water cooler vignette. He felt that larger venues allow time for
preparation.
He told me 'the impromptu meetings really catch you off guard.' As
he is spearheading a new department at his firm he has opportunities
to make a lasting impression of his business acumen with a peers and
superiors at the water fountain. He usually walks away wondering if
he has left them thinking more about his rambling communication
skills than his brilliant ideas. He asked me, "How should I handle
these moments appropriately?"
This is what I told him...
"Outside your home, ALL speaking is public speaking. There is no
such thing as private speaking. You're right that many people are
less intimidated when they prepare for a speech than when they must
communicate off the cuff in more informal settings. But
conversations on the elevator or at the water cooler can do as much
to boost your career as giving a formal presentation. How do you
master impromptu meetings and on-the-spot interaction?
1. Have something to say that is of interest and topical. Keep up
with the news, and peruse your corporate report or newsletter
regularly. Have two or three relevant things to say at all times.
You can even "rehearse" with a trusted friend for those chance
encounters with CEOs.
2. Focus on others. The silver bullet in business and politics is
the Like Factor, but it's easy to concentrate so hard on what others
are thinking of you, you forget that even VIPs care what others
think of them. Know what is going on in your company so you can
congratulate people on their achievements or refer to a previous
conversation: "How was that trip you took last week?" Your sincere
interest in people will make a lasting impression.
3. Ask questions to start a conversation. A bright but introverted
friend of mine has a gregarious wife who often drags him to parties
where he doesn't know anyone. He used to sit in a corner with a
drink in his hand, inspecting the carpet. Then I showed him the
question-asking technique. At the next gathering, he asked the
hostess about her work.
"I'm an emergency room nurse," she said. "What is your average day
like?" he responded. They talked for an hour. As the couple prepared
to leave, the hostess told my friend's astonished wife, "Your
husband is the most scintillating conversationalist I've ever met."
Moral: When you make people feel important, letting them talk about
themselves and sharing what they know, you earn a reputation as a
brilliant conversationalist, even if you've hardly said a word.
4. Praise others. For example, be sure to boast about your entire
team rather than your own efforts. Say how proud you are of them and
offer highlights of their accomplishments. It makes you much more
likable, and the unavoidable implication is that you are a good
leader.
5. Overcome shyness. When you find yourself in an elevator with a
VIP, forget the power plays and do what would make your mother
proud. Be cordial, smile, breathe deeply, and take the initiative.
Say, "Good morning Mr./Ms. Big Shot. I don't know if you remember
me. I am Patricia Fripp, and I work in the communications
department." Then congratulate them on a recent success -- a
speech, published article, award, or contract.
Or mention very briefly an achievement in your department: "Did you
hear how we saved the company a quarter of a million dollars?"
You've got seconds to connect, so don't try to pin Big Shot down.
Perhaps Big Shot will stop to continue the chat when you reach your
floor, but more likely you've planted the seeds for future
conversation.

March 28 - April 3, 2006Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we received over the past week from E--zine subscribers. To read more recent testimonials and the over 2500 we have received from readers over the past year, please go to:
http://www.jimrohn.com
I have and I get a lot of wisdom from the 90 Days to Life Change
Weekly Emails.
-- Jim Page
I have been absorbing Jim Rohn's books, audios, & videos for over 10
years now. I have become a personal development junkie. The journey
continues to get more exciting each year. I have tripled my income
by applying the philosophies I've learned from Jim and others. Yet I
can be a slow learner too. I remember the first time I saw "How To
Have Your Best Year Ever" and heard some advice that I knew I would
be wise to take. Finally, in the last year I took action on that
advice. It reminded me of Jim's quote that if you've done it wrong
for 10 years I would suggest that is long enough. The difference has
been amazing, and the obstacles not nearly as scary as I had thought
they would be. I am now ready to really SOAR! It is incredible how
the opportunities come to you when you have become the kind of
person who is able to act on them. Thanks Jim for consistently
teaching the simple fundamentals. God bless you.
-- Mike Schmidt
Crystal, Excellent! I'd like to follow your advice and get the 2004
version shipped with FedEx Economy. Jim Rohn himself is probably
coming over to Iceland in September this year and if I have a chance
to meet him in person, I will tell him about the great service I'm
experiencing today!
-- Egill Vignisson
I learned of you from Jeffery Combs, Breakthroughs 2, last weekend.
Thanks for sharing your expertise.
-- Carol Ann Stott
Crystal, Thanks. The service you give is Terrific!
-- Gary Wilson
I taught as an adjunct teacher at Dallas Christian College for the
past eight years. There was one particular class that I thought
would get a terrific amount of usefulness out of listening to Jim's
"How to Have Your Best Year Ever." They had never even heard of Jim
Rohn before that class, but just read below to see the impact that
was made... -- Myers Hurt
"I was a student in a Business Math class that you taught in January
2005 or 2004. I just wanted to say thank you because you introduced
our class to Jim Rohn and his teachings via his video, "How to Have
Your Best Year Ever." It has forever changed my life and I just
wanted to say a million Thank You's to you. I knew how to dream but
that was all. I never knew how to truly put something into action
and most of all I never knew how to dream big. I won't ever forget
you. All the professors I've had at DCC have been wonderful & I've
learned so much from them. But what you introduced me to has forever
changed my life and its direction. My husband and I started a
business late last year. It is doing good and it's getting better by
the day. We have incredible dreams and we have only just begun our
journey. - Valerie"
Crystal, thank you! I must say you guys are just terrific, once
again thank you.
-- Tony Terranova
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
"Don't spend major money on minor
things. In the last ten years the guy has bought two tons of donuts
and only two books – and the books are primarily filled with
pictures."Jim Rohn

"Money doesn't make you sophisticated. Only
study and practice make you sophisticated. Even people of modest
means can become sophisticated because it is within study and
practice. How much is a night out at the symphony? About thirty
dollars. You say, 'Poor people can't afford thirty dollars to go to
the symphony.' Yes, they can. It's only thirty Hershey bars!" Jim Rohn
