1. The Best Gift to Give
Yourself and Others by Jim Rohn
I'm often asked the question, "How can I best help my children,
spouse, family member, staff member, friend etc. improve/change?" In
fact that might be the most frequently asked question I receive,
"How can I help change someone else?"
My answer often comes as a surprise and here it is. The key to
helping others is to help yourself first. In other words, the best
contribution I can make to someone else is my own personal
development. If I become 10 times wiser, 10 times stronger, think of
what that will do for my adventure as a father... as a
grandfather... as a business colleague.
The best gift I can give to you, really, is my ongoing personal
development. Getting better, getting stronger, becoming wiser. I
think parents should pick this valuable philosophy up. If the
parents are okay, the kids have an excellent chance of being okay.
Work on your personal development as parents; that's the best gift
you can give to your children.
If you have ever ridden in an airplane, then you might have noticed
the oxygen compartment located above every seat. There are explicit
instructions that say "In case of an emergency, first secure your
own oxygen mask and then if you have children with you then secure
their masks." Take care of yourself first... then assist your
children. If we use that same philosophy throughout our whole
parental life, it would be so valuable.
If I learn to create happiness for myself, my children now have an
excellent chance to be happy. If I create a unique lifestyle for
myself and my spouse, that will be a great example to serve my
children.
Self-development enables you to serve, to be more valuable to those
around you; for your child... your business... your colleague...
your community... your church.
That's why I teach development skills. If you keep refining all the
parts of your character, yourself, your health, etc. so that you
become an attractive person to the marketplace - you'll attract
opportunity. Opportunity will then begin to seek you out. Your
reputation will begin to precede you and people will want to do
business with you. All of that possibility is created by working on
the philosophy that success is something you attract by continually
working on your own personal development.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Stewardship
How much should you earn? As much as you possibly can. It
doesn't matter whether you earn $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year as
long as you've done the best you can.
The man says, "If I had a fortune, I'd take good care of it. But I
only have a paycheck and I don't know where it all goes." Wouldn't
you love to have him running your company?
If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful
(disciplined) when there are just a few. If you have a few
employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay
in touch and be totally absorbed - when there is just a few.
Start from wherever you are and with whatever you've got.
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. It's Easy to Earn Money By Bob Proctor
There is a very real possibility that everything you and I have
been taught about how to earn money is so far from the truth
that it's almost comical. Earning money has nothing to do with
age, formal education, gender or geography. It has nothing to do
with past experience or your formal years of education or your
level of intellect. Check it out… there are individuals who are
functionally illiterate who have become multi-millionaires,
while there are others who are absolutely brilliant and they are
broke. Virtually anyone can be taught how to earn millions of
dollars and yet the sad truth is that 97 out of every 100 people
are born, live their entire lives, and die without ever learning
how to earn money. To perpetuate this ridiculous problem, their
ignorance is passed along from one generation to the next.
Our school system has been designed as an environment to
enlighten young minds, to replace ignorance with understanding
and thereby improve the quality of life. Our educational system
has obviously been successful in many areas. However, it has
woefully neglected one important subject, "How to Earn Money."
You can earn a doctorate degree in economics and have little or
no knowledge of how to earn money. A lack of understanding in
this area is the cause of numerous unwanted and unnecessary
problems, since money is the medium of exchange that is used
worldwide for other people's products and services.
There has always been a small, select group, approximately 3% of
our population, who clearly understand that prosperity
consciousness is the primary cause of wealth and their
prosperity consciousness, like ignorance, is also passed down
from one generation to the next.
Let's look at "money." What is it? Money is a reward you receive
for the service you render. The more valuable the service, the
greater the reward. Thinking of ways we can be of greater
service will not only help us earn more money, it will also
enable us to grow intellectually and spiritually.
Money Is An Idea
The paper you fold and place in your purse or pocket is not
money. It is paper with ink on it. It represents money, but it
is not money. Money is an idea. The earning of money has nothing
to do with the paper stuff. It has to do with consciousness.
I am aware there are books that instruct you on how to
manipulate the market, stocks and people… they might even help
you get money. But, let me caution you… when there is no
spiritual growth… there is no spiritual strength... there is no
lasting happiness... and, there is no real or lasting wealth.
To accumulate wealth, a person must become very comfortable with
the idea of money. That may sound strange, however most people
are not comfortable with the idea of money, which is why they do
not have any. The cause of poverty is poverty consciousness. A
poverty consciousness will cause a person to see, hear, smell,
think and feel... lack and limitation.
The late Mike Todd said, "Being broke is a temporary situation.
Being poor is a mental state."
He was correct. There are wealthy people who lose every cent
they have through a series of mistakes in judgment... but that
does not make them poor. They will have it all back in a short
time because of their prosperity consciousness.
If you have any question in your mind regarding your level of
consciousness with respect to money, be very honest with
yourself and look at your results. Study the patterns in your
life.
If you want to improve your financial position in life, focus
your attention on creating a higher level of prosperity
consciousness. Begin by preparing a powerful, positive
affirmation and fuel it with emotion. When you do this, you are
depositing this creative energy in the treasury of your
sub-conscious mind. And, by repeating this process over and over
and over again every day, it will begin to alter your
conditioning and mentally move you in the direction you want to
go. Write it out, read it, feel it, and let it take hold of your
mind.
How much money do you want? Saying you want more is not good
enough. Five dollars is more. How much more? Decide on a figure.
Be specific. You will not seriously want more money than you are
capable of earning... however, you would be wise to remember,
you must earn it.
There Are Three Income Earning Strategies
Trading time for money – By far the worst of the three income
earning strategies, it is employed by approximately 96% of our
population – doctors, lawyers, accountants, laborers, etc. There
is an inherent problem with this strategy – saturation. You run
out of time. If a person accumulates any degree of wealth
employing this strategy, it will be at the expense of a life.
They compromise on the car they drive, the house they live in,
the clothes they choose and the vacations they take. They
rarely, if ever, get what they want.
Investing money to earn money – This strategy is used by
approximately 3% of the population. The number is small for the
obvious reason – very few people have any money to invest. Many
people who effectively employ this strategy follow the advice of
a trusted, knowledgeable advisor.
Leveraging yourself to earn money – This is where you multiply
your time through the efforts of others by setting up Multiple
Sources of Income (MSI). This is, without question, the very
best way to increase your income. Make a decision to have many
sources of income; it's the strategy that wealthy people have
used dating clear back to the ancient Babylonians.
Unfortunately, this strategy is only used by approximately 1% of
our population, yet that 1% earns approximately 96% of all the
money that is earned! You are only a decision away from
membership.
Once you determine how much money you want to earn, write it
down on a sheet of paper in large figures. Look at the number
with the dollar sign beside it and tell yourself over and over
again:
That Amount of Money is an Effect.
It Represents a Reward that I Want to Receive. What Service Can
I Render that Would be Deserving of that Reward?
You can take the total figure and divide it into multiple parts.
Each part would represent a source of income. Each source of
income represents a separate reward that you would receive for a
service you would render.
Work on one source of income at a time; each one can become an
exciting part of your life. What you are actually doing is
thinking of different ways you can be of service to others.
Think of how you can do whatever you do – more effectively.
Think of how you can improve the quality and quantity of service
you render.
Think of how you can help people in a greater way.
Money is the ultimate servant. The more you earn, the more you
can help others.

"I used to say, 'Things cost too
much.' Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, 'The
problem isn't that things cost too much. The problem is that you
can't afford it.' That's when I finally understood that the problem
wasn't 'it' – the problem was 'me.'" Jim Rohn
5. Through Action, Perseverance and Patience: Eric Dudl - An Example for Us All by TC Cummings
My friend Eric Dudl died from lung cancer Tuesday, August 29,
2006. Though only 33 years old when he passed, Eric achieved all
four of his major life goals. He was my friend. He was (and
continues to be) an inspiration.
His story is a demonstration of how you can improve your quality of
life within only a few years by simply improving your personal
character, through action, perseverance and patience.
Eric was always a great guy, though his self-directed quality of
life wasn't always so great. At 25, Eric's father gave him 21 days
to move out of the house. Eric complained that his father was
kicking him out on the street, yet his father maintained his stance:
"You are a smart, resourceful young man." After 20 days of
complaining, Eric finally got around to applying for a job. Again he
whined to his father, who firmly held the position to believe in his
son.
On the 21st day, Eric got a job as a clerk, earning $7 an hour. Over
the next year, a motivated Eric turned his focus on changing his
life. He began reading personal development books, listening to CDs
by authors such as Jim Rohn, Denis Waitley and others. He began
writing his goals down and identifying the work he had to do to
achieve them. Though, to Eric, change was slow, and he still saw his
life as unfulfilling.
He still didn't exercise like his brother.
His father was a top-notch doctor, and yet he was just a clerk.
People at work didn't like him, and he was filled with thoughts that
obviously something must be wrong with those people since they
should like him.
And what about love? He couldn't keep a good relationship no matter
what he did.
Whenever he complained to his father, Eric would get the same
encouragement to persevere: "I know you are a smart, resourceful
young man." His mother would remind him to be patient. With such
support, Eric went back to work on himself - taking proven effective
actions, persevering and being patient. He wasn't always happy and
motivated. All the changes he wanted in himself took time and
effort.
Fast forward seven years to our present day. Upon his passing, Eric
had achieved all four of his life goals, something that most people
miss their entire lives!
Even through nine months of chemotherapy, Eric got up every day at
5:00 a.m.
and did yoga with his father or a solo session on the stationary
bike.
Eric finished his thesis and earned his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology.
Eric used what he'd learned to discover 3 new pathways toward curing
cancer!
The ever mild-mannered Eric had developed into a person who had
hundreds of friends, loved by many. So much so, his cousin flew in
for the services celebrating Eric's life after only having met him
for 24 hours in The Czech Republic.
Love - Eric had finally received a blessing of the long-term love of
an amazing woman, Lilia.
In what way had Eric changed his character? One example - less than
48 hours before Eric passed away, his physician told him the
chemotherapy wasn't working; the tumors were not going away. The
only treatment left were drugs to ease the pain. Eric's immediate
response was to voice two concerns how do I tell Lilia, and how will
I stay productive?
Eric had transformed his quality of life from being mediocre to
being illustrious and grand. He had changed his life by changing his
character. He did this through time-proven effective actions, by
persevering (thanks Dad) and being patient (thanks Mom).
Eric Dudl - a one-time procrastinator - transformed into a man of
steadfast resolve. During the entire nine months of chemotherapy,
Eric didn't miss a single day of work unless he was in the hospital.
It should be noted that working at the prestigious Burnham Institute
was no small job!
"I was amazed with Eric. He was so well liked around here! Eric was
really an inspiration around here! (re: how he continued to work
during his chemotherapy.)" -John Reed, President, Professor and CEO
of the Burnham Institute
Questions: Would you be willing to work on yourself for seven years
to become the person who achieves all that you have envisioned?
Could you be that patient? Could you persevere? Do you know where to
find the teachers to help you take this action?
What legacy are you going to leave? What are you doing about it?
What would inspire you?
