7. More Information
1. Forging Your Character by Jim Rohn (excerpted from Leading an Inspired Life book)
Personal success is built on the foundation of character, and
character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you may
make that gradually turn who you are at any given moment into who
you want to be. If that decision-making process is not present,
you'll still be somebody—you'll still be alive—but you may have a
personality rather than a character, and to me that's something very
different.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like
your fingerprints. It's something you must take responsibility for
forming. You build character by how you respond to what happens in
your life, whether it's winning every game, losing every game,
getting rich or dealing with hard times.
You build character from certain qualities that you must create and
diligently nurture within yourself, just like you would a plant and
water a seed or gather wood to build a campfire. You've got to look
for those things in your heart and in your gut. You've got to chisel
away in order to find them, just like chiseling away rock to create
the sculpture that has previously existed only in the imagination.
But the really amazing thing about character is that, if you're
sincerely committed to making yourself into the person you want to
be, you'll not only create those qualities, you'll strengthen them
and re-create them in abundance, even as your drawing on them
everyday of your life. That's why building your character is vital
to becoming all you can be.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Kids
How many languages can a child learn? As many as you will
take the time to teach them.
Even kids can get started on becoming financially independent. Kids
can make profits long before they can legitimately earn wages.
Kids ought to have two bicycles: one to ride and one to rent.
Kids don't lack capacity, only teachers.
I teach kids how to be rich by the time they are age 40, 35 if they
are extra bright. Most kids think they are extra bright, so they go
for 35.
What should a child do with a dollar? Here's one philosophy: It's
only a child and it's only a dollar, so what difference does it
make? Wow, what a philosophy! Where do you suppose everything starts
for the future? Here's where it starts – it starts with a child and
a dollar. You say, "Well, he's only a child once. Let him spend it
all." Well, when would you hope that would stop? When he’s fifty and
broke like you?
If kids clearly see the promise, they will gladly pay the price.
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. The Winning Edge by Brian Tracy
Thousands of hours and millions of dollars have been spent
studying the most successful salespeople in our society. They have
been interviewed exhaustively, as have their customers, co-workers
and managers. Today we know more about what it takes for you to be
one of the best in the business than we have ever known before. And
the most important thing we have learned in all these studies is
that selling is more psychological than anything else.
The Key to High Performance
One of the most important concepts ever discovered in the field of
human performance is called the "winning edge concept." This concept
or principle, states that, "small differences in ability can
translate into enormous differences in results." What it means is
that if you become just a little bit better in certain critical
areas of selling, it can translate into enormous increases in sales.
In fact, you may be on the verge of a major breakthrough in your
sales results at this very moment just by learning and practicing
something new and different to what you have done before.
If a horse comes in first by a nose, it wins ten times the prize
money of the horse that comes in second, even though the difference
is only a nose, or perhaps a couple of inches, in a photo finish.
Small Differences Mean Big Rewards
Does this mean that the horse that wins by a nose is ten times
faster than the horse that comes in second, by a nose? Of course
not! Is the horse that wins by a nose twice as fast, or fifty
percent faster, or ten percent faster? The answer is "no" to all of
these. The horse that wins is only a nose faster, but it translates
into ten times the prize money.
Get 100% of the Commission
By the same token, the salesperson who gets the sale for himself and
his company gets one hundred percent of the business and one hundred
percent of the commission. Does this mean that his product is one
hundred percent better than that of the competition, or one hundred
percent cheaper? The fact is that the product may not even be as
good and it may cost even more than that of the competitor, but the
top salesman gets the sale nonetheless. The person who gets the
sale, is in most cases, not vastly better than the person who loses
the sale. He or she merely has the "winning edge" and that
translates into one hundred percent of the business.
Action Exercises
Now, here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas
into action.
First, identify the important things you do in every sale, from
prospecting to closing, and think about what you could do to improve
in each area.
Second, select one specific area where you feel you are weak and
make a plan to become absolutely excellent in this area. This
decision alone could change your career.

"It's best to start the
discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's
easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder
to give a hundred thousand out of a million." Jim Rohn

5. Jim Rohn in Malaysia and Singapore at the National Achievers Congress this May!
- Malaysia - 15th ~ 16th
- Singapore - 18th ~ 19th
In 2 Days, You Learn How To Multiply Your Business Profits And
Wealth In The Fastest, Safest And Easiest Way Known!
The National Achievers Congress (NAC) is a 2-day event organized
by Success Resources, a leading human resource development group. To
date more than 100,000 people have attended this event from 6
different countries.
This brainchild of Success Resources started in 1992 and is an
assembly of world-class experts to help ordinary persons achieve
outstanding results in a highly competitive global market. NAC
started with a need to assemble world-class experts and
professionals in one location to learn, discuss and advance
breakthroughs in business competencies to vast audiences at a very
affordable price.
Every year, some 5,000 participants from all walks of life attend
the Congress to hear, see and learn from world-renowned speakers
such as The Honorable William J. Clinton, Michael Porter, Robert
Kiyosaki, General Norman Schwarzkopf, Tom Hopkins, Jay Abraham, Zig
Ziglar, Mark Victor Hansen, Daniel Goleman, Dr. Denis Waitley, Peter
Lynch, Zig Ziglar, Michael Porter, John Naisbitt, who are all
legendary success icons in their respective fields.
These gurus will share their strategies and skill that will make
money, grow your incomes and profits in your business and personal
life regardless of the steep competition and the state of your
market and the economy!
Over the years, feedback from the participants show that they do
learn new strategies while others refined and sharpened their
skills. Yet others discovered new paradigms and mindsets that helped
them to weather the economic storms. All in, many are recharged and
inspired by these gurus of success.
This year, we have already received registration of 2,000
participants for the congress.
