"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."  Jim Rohn

1.  Creating Opportunity by Jim Rohn

An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.

To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It's to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves... regardless of the economy.

A person with an enterprising attitude says, "Find out what you can before action is taken." Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what's to come.

Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren't lazy. They don't wait for opportunities to come to them, they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.

Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what's out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

What goes hand-in-hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

And lastly, being enterprising doesn't just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth – your enterprising nature.  

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn

Enterprise

 Human beings have the remarkable ability to turn nothing into something. They can turn weeds into gardens and pennies into fortunes.

Enterprise is better than ease.

Showing a profit means touching something and leaving it better than you found it.

Enterprise is the hope of our future.

Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune.

We all know a variety of ways to make a living. What's even more fascinating is figuring out ways to make a fortune.

Kids ought to have two bicycles, one to ride and one to rent.


 

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. To order the TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Excerpts from TTOQ by Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy, please go to Jim Rohn's Online Catalog

 

3. The Value of External Feedback by TC Cummings

So much within competitive sports can apply to the grander picture of our lives. All we need to do is transfer the lessons learned.

A client of mine, Mike Buckley, is one of the most skilled hockey goalies in the world. Mike's coach consistently produces top draft picks for the National Hockey League (NHL). Every year since college, Mike has ranked in the upper percentile in skills competitions. With these amazing abilities, why hasn't Mike yet made it into the NHL?

Like so many of us, Mike's challenge was in applying his focus on the right thing at the right time so that he could allow his skills to come out and live successfully.

Working with a personal coach, Mike discovered his strength was also his weakness. According to Rob Day of PuckStoppers, his goaltending coach, Mike has the ability to examine his performance during practice and make corrections and adjustments that are amazingly effective -- possibly the best Rob has seen.

During game time, however, Mike would react to the pressure by constantly examining himself. This inappropriate, self-conscious, self-doubt distracted him from experiencing the moment and allowing him to perform authentically.

We've all heard the saying, "The unexamined life is not worth living." Yet, how do we go about our daily lives, experiencing the full benefit of living in the moment if we are preoccupied with self-conscious examination?

Have you ever found yourself in a sort of whirlwind of self-examination and doubt? How does it feel? People say it can feel disempowering with seemingly no end in sight. We are all susceptible to it. Often we find escape routes to hide from our own examination. Sometimes these escapes are overtly destructive (drugs and alcohol abuse) and other times, we bury ourselves in work, exercise or volunteer aid -- fooling ourselves that this is a healthy place to hide.

What's the solution? How do we experience the moment and enjoy life while still getting the best performance from ourselves? After all, people are depending on us.

Purposeful, objective observations and relevant questions delivered in trust and confidence set us up to win consistently. Scheduling an hour every week with a no-holds-barred friend or committing to an effective personal coach elevates our self-awareness and can increase both our performance and self-acceptance. And this focused time, dedicated to self-examination, removes the need for such introspection during real-life situations where our attention is needed elsewhere. We then allow ourselves to experience life while it happens!

Now we elevate our confidence higher still! Confident that we are free to enjoy the moment because we know there is a time for examination.

Over these past summer months, Mike learned to leave his self-examination off the ice and trust in his skills. Mike played in "high-caliber" leagues in which single-man defenses allowing 15 goals per game is considered acceptable.

Fifteen goals? How about none? On June 28th, 2004, Mike delivered the first-ever shutout in the oldest, most prestigious league in the city. Mike lead his team to the league championship while experiencing more fun and confidence than he's ever had on the ice!

A couple of nights ago, Mike called me from the road. He was passing through Buffalo, N.Y. on his way to his new home with a minor league team where he has been placed by one of the three NHL teams pursuing him!

How could my friend's lesson - purposeful, professional, self-examination - empower you?

What does it mean to be "psychologically unemployable"? Congratulations because if you are reading this information your curiosity has been sparked by my title and you are either already an entrepreneur or are in the process of becoming one. Becoming an entrepreneur means learning a new set of life skills that will allow you to hone your craft so that you can get paid what the free market bears for the value and service you bring to the marketplace.

The game of free enterprise and entrepreneurship is really the game of your life and the question is: "Are you ready to play?" Are you ready to start? When the whistle blows will you be ready to take off from the starting line or will you be sitting on the bench tying your shoes? Are you ready to get in the game of free enterprise? If so you are playing for high stakes – your freedom your dreams and your life on your terms!

"Listen to Jeffrey Combs. Learn what he says and live his wise brilliant advice. It will make your life infinitely better." -- Mark Victor Hansen, The Power of Focus & Co-Creator of Chicken Soup for the Soul

5. New JRI Weekly Coaching

NEW JRI Weekly Group Coaching

Have you ever thought, "I wonder if anyone else struggles with what I do; faces the same challenges? Have they found workable solutions for those challenges?" "I wish there was someone I could ask questions, bounce ideas off of and work together to strategize solutions." Or have you ever thought, "Wow! That solution worked! I know there are others out there struggling through what I've just come through and I sure would love to share it for the benefit of others!"

Here at Jim Rohn International, we receive emails on a daily basis from people just like you, asking the questions and searching for answers to the questions and challenges they face in their everyday lives. In response to those requests, a few years ago we created the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan -- a weekly email driven program that broke down 12 key life areas and guided people through a year-long development plan -- the response was phenomenal, massive results and positive changes for people.

But again, our forward-moving, ever-developing customers asked for more, this time something with even more interaction and more person-to-person opportunities. So once again, we went back to the drawing board and launched the Jim Rohn Coaching program with Master Coach TC Cummings. Again customers responded and as a result, our coaching program has grown and now offers four uniquely, diverse coaches.

Now, for those who are not familiar with the benefits coaching provides, in essence what professional coaching strives to accomplish is a relationship -- with built-in accountability -- fostering the belief that you know the answers to your own questions better than anyone. With all the distractions, self-doubt, and "selective amnesia" bombarding us, the invaluable service coaching provides is illuminating the answers that already exist by creating a safe atmosphere to elevate your own personal awareness. The long term benefit this creates is that this awareness will permeate all aspects of your life, long after the conclusion of each coaching session.

However, the one nagging challenge we here at Jim Rohn International are constantly working to meet is: "How can we maximize our coaches time and reach the most people with this amazing, life-impacting information?" And this is what we challenged our coaches to do. Well, they put their heads together, rose to the challenge and created JRI Weekly Group Coaching -- an exciting next level to one-on-one coaching -- the power of a group. Synergy! Because we all know that a group can accomplish more than just one!

Our JRI Weekly Group Coaching calls are an exciting, innovative solution to keep you focused, motivated and aware of the important things that keep you successful! In your busy world, there are many distractions. Wouldn't you like to purposefully realign yourself for success each week? The JRI Weekly Group Coaching calls are an easy, convenient way to do just that! Each one of our Jim Rohn Coaches has a high level of expertise in their specific field and has created four unique, key topics according to their expertise:

I have just finished listening to your Weekend Leadership Event 2004, it runs continuously in my car to and from where ever it is that I am going, and also on my MP3 player. Fantastic information, I just wanted to share how much I enjoyed this collection. I have most of your collection and certainly never want to stop learning. I saw you in Singapore and again at the Summer Spectacular for a training event, and I am looking forward to seeing you again in Thailand later this year for Herbalife. I am hoping that my husband will be able to attend so he'll understand what I have been raving about for the past 12 months. I would love to know if you are going to have another extraordinary Weekend Seminar in 2007? I would not want to miss it!
-- Victoria Cuzzubbo

You don't remember me, but I have never forgotten you! We last met the week of 8/19/1973 when I turned thirty. You were a VP with "Bestline" and I was a General Distributor. I joined Bestline following a horrific car crash that terminated my law school education. I was feeling very sorry for myself and could not see the purpose of life. More than anything or anyone else, you had the most profound affect on me at that time when I needed it the most. Shortly afterwards, I met the love of my life and soon married her. She helped me go back to school which allowed me to become a doctor that I always wanted to be. We raised two of the best sons that God ever awarded a man. I have attended many of your seminars, and think of them often and fondly. I hear your voice in my mind telling the story of the woman who bought a brand of baked beans that her husband didn't even like. "To save 2 cents !" It's moments like those that have had a profound effect on me and I'm sure on untold thousands. I will always recall the hours spent listening to you in person or on tape. Keep up the good work for many Happy years to come.
-- Dr. Bob Greenberg

I just wanted to let you know that I was excited to receive my order on Friday 12 May and was especially delighted with the gifts included being the four little quote books from Jim, Zig, Brian and Dennis - wow they are so handy and useful! Art of Exceptional Living is wonderful, as is Jim in the particular way he conveys his thoughts and messages -please give him my regards. I look forward to getting into the products and learning more. Thanks so much for your wonderful assistance, you are all really making a difference. Jim's material is really inspiring me and making a difference in my philosophy and my outlook on life on this planet. When I see people now, I always try to do my best in relating to them, be it a smile or hello, trying to be that little bit different. It is surprising the results you get back when you just give things a go - and the joy that is received is simple, but powerful. I'm going to keep working on myself more than on my job!
-- Chris Ashdowne
Thank you E-zine readers, for the sincere and kind words of encouragement and appreciation you sent us this week! -- JRI
