1. Key Words to Remember: Weigh, Count and Measure by Jim Rohn
Three key words to remember: weigh, count and measure. Now why weigh, count and
measure? To see what your results are from your activity, your attitude and your
philosophy. If you find that the results are not to your liking there are only
three places to look. Your philosophy needs to be fine-tuned; your attitude
needs to be strengthened or your disciplines need extra skill. But that's it.
Activity, attitude and philosophy create results.
Now, on results I teach that life expects you to make measurable progress in
reasonable time. But, you must be reasonable with time. You can't say to someone
every five minutes, how are you doing now? That's too soon to ask for a count.
Guy says, "I haven't left the building yet, give me a break!" Now you can't wait
five years - that's too long. Too many things can go wrong waiting too long for
a count to see how you're doing.
Here are some good time frames:
Number one - at the end of the day. You can't let more than a day go by without
looking at some things and making progress. New Testament says - if you are
angry, try to solve it before the sun goes down. Don't carry anger for another
day. It may be too heavy to carry. If you try to carry it for a week, it may
drop you to your knees. So some things you must get done in a day.
Here's the next one - a week. We ask for an accounting of the week so we can
issue the pay. And whatever you've got coming that's what you get; when the week
is over. Now in business there are two things to check in the course of the
week. Your activity count and your productivity count. Because activity leads to
productivity we need to count both to see how we're doing.
My mentor taught me that success is a numbers game and very early he started
asking me my numbers. He asked, "How many books have you read in the last ninety
days?" I said, "Zero"; he said, "Not a good number." He said, "How many classes
have you attended in the last six months to improve your skills?" And I said,
"Zero." He said, "Not a good number." Then he said, "In the last six years that
you've been working, how much money have you saved and invested?" I said, "Zero"
and he said, "Not a good number." Then here's what he said, "Mr. Rohn, if these
numbers don't change your life won't change. But" he said, "If you'll start
improving these numbers then perhaps you'll start to see everything change for
you."
Success and results are a numbers game. John joins this little sales company.
He's supposed to make 10 calls the first week just to get acquainted with the
territory. So on Friday we call him in and say what? "How many calls?" He says,
"Well." You say, "John, 'well' won't fit in the little box here. I need a
number." Now he starts with a story. And you say, "John, the reason I made this
little box so small is so a story won't fit. All I need is a number because if
you give us the number we're so brilliant around here we could guess the story."
It's the numbers that count. Making measurable progress in reasonable time.
Here's the best accounting. The accounting you make of yourself. Don't wait for
the government to do it, don't wait for the company to do it. But you've got to
add up some of your own numbers and ask, "Am I making the progress I want and
will it take me where I want to go now and in the future?" You be the judge!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
This article is by Jim Rohn. Well over 20 years ago, Jim Rohn revealed some
of the most potent success principles known to man in a 2 day leadership weekend
seminar. This presentation was recorded on video tapes, but in the late 1980's
they disappeared. They have now been recovered and contain some of the most
powerful success principles ever shared. In those tapes, Jim Rohn shared the
secrets that helped him achieve millionaire status by the age of 30. To view
some sample clips from this amazing event and also learn more about this lost
footage go to: http://classic.jimrohn.com

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Change/Choice/Decision
One of the best places to start to turn your life around is by doing whatever
appears on your mental "I should" list.
Indecision is the thief of opportunity.
Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall
will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand,
have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can
choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and
see what all you can do?
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction
overnight.
Decision making can sometimes seem like inner civil war.
I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the only
way things are going to change for me is when I change.
Don't say, "If I could, I would." Say, "If I can, I will."
It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters
most is getting off! You cannot make progress without making decisions.
We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or
desperation.
If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.
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. Thinking with Charlie "T" Jones
• People who know the most, know they know so little, while people who know
nothing want to take all day to tell you.
• Self-improvement can be harmful if you are doing it to look better. If you
live your life in helping others look better, you'll be better without trying.
• If you give to get something, you're not really giving you are trading. Giving
is never to get, because you have it and are not aware of how much you have
until you give.
• Big people are always giving someone credit and taking blame; little people
are always seeking credit and giving blame.
• Don't worry about having to make a right decision. Make it and then work to
make it right.
• An attitude of gratitude flavors everything you do. Learning to be thankful is
the golden thread woven through every truly successful life.

"The best motivation is self-motivation. The guy
says, 'I wish someone would come by and turn me on.' What if they don't show up?
You've got to have a better plan for your life." Jim Rohn
4. We Found the Videos!
Well over 20 years ago, Jim Rohn revealed some
of the most potent success principles known to man in a 2 day leadership weekend
seminar. This presentation was recorded on video tapes and was meant to be
used as a reference for the attendees of the workshop; just in case they needed
a refresher course. But in the late 1980's they
disappeared.
They have now been recovered and contain some of the most powerful success
principles ever shared. In those tapes, Jim Rohn shared the secrets that
helped him achieve millionaire status by the age of 30.
What Jim Rohn revealed on the videos also became the foundation of the many
principles shared by world-class personal development gurus today, and his
thoughts and ideas continue to be quoted (word-for-word) even after all these
years!

Thanks to Jim Rohn and his team for this One Year Success program. It has been a
real pleasure to follow this week after week. I am really enjoying it and it has
changed my attitude in many ways. I hope more and more people will benefit from
it. I spread your ideas with others. Much thanks to you and all the team for
such a successful program.
-- Christiane
I am really getting much out of these lessons and have just gone over Week 7
again. I am pleased that we have time this week to catch up and go over some of
the material. The S.M.A.R.T goals have really given me a lot to think about and
implement. I have never been much of a goal setter but things are changing and I
am very excited about what I am learning.
-- Lorraine Neumann
I am greatly enjoying the journey of the One-Year Success Plan, working on my
goals... I have already achieved two of them which I expected to achieve later
on this month or in Feb! So that feels really good!
-- Jacqueline Kassick
Compliments of the season Jim, and once again thanks for the ezines with all
your philosophies. They have impacted me greatly. May God continually increase
you and endow you with uncommon favors and wisdom. Once again thank you so much!
I can't wait to read from you soon.
-- Paula Osobase
Having just finished reading "The Five Major Pieces To The Life Puzzle", your
book has been truly inspirational. Especially living in the current environment
of our country Zimbabwe. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
writing the book and for what the book has given to me. It has summarized what I
have been studying recently, and will continue to study. Please could you send
your weekly E-Zine. We have difficulty getting books in our country. I was given
your book as a present while visiting our family in South Africa. Your weekly
e-mail would be greatly received, as e-mail is a means of communicating to the
rest of the world for us.
-- Neil W.
Hope you are well. I must thank you for sending me the 2001 Jim Rohn Weekend
Event CDs. They are so inspiring to listen to. I am glad that I made the
decision to upgrade to the silver program.
-- Teresa MacIntyre
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of
encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI

an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot." Jim Rohn
