educated as our intellect. It is important to know how to
feel, how to respond, and how to let life in so that it can
touch you." Jim Rohn

1. Change Begins with
Choice by Jim Rohn
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all.
Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new
knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we
wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it
immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if
the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we
can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment
over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The
choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue
to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault
is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances
by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility
to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of
the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things
over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the
whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead
us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics
that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then
we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and
joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone
seeking and needing to make changes in their life - If you don't
like how things are, change it! You're not a tree. You have the
ability to totally transform every area in your life - and it all
begins with your very own power of choice.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Fascination
Fascination is one step beyond interest. Interested people
want to know if it works. Fascinated people want to learn how it
works.
Learn how to turn frustration into fascination. You will learn more
being fascinated by life than you will by being frustrated by it.
I'm on my way to the airport to catch a plane that leaves in 45
minutes. The traffic is not moving one inch. I am now fascinated -
not frustrated, but fascinated. But I must admit, it doesn't work
every time.
Develop a childlike fascination with life and people.
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. You Need More Weight by Ron White
How do you build muscle?
If you answered, 'Exercise' then you are partially right. For the
most part exercise is not what builds muscle. Exercise maintains the
muscle you have already built, yet it only actually builds muscle
when that exercise goes into uncharted territory.
"You need more weight."
That is one of my best friend's favorite things to say when we work
out. If I am throwing up 225 pounds on the bench press and there is
no struggle, he is the first to either add more weight or demand
reps. I used to say, "No man, I want to control this weight first. I
want to do 8 solid reps of 225 before I move on to something else."
His reply would be, "Are you here to build muscle or maintain what
you have?"
My particular goal at the time was to build muscle, so I would
(knowing he was right) reluctantly say, "Build muscle." His matter
of fact retort was, "Okay, then you need more weight or more reps –
maybe both."
You see, when lifting weights your muscle is built when it goes
beyond its comfort zone or literally stretches beyond what you have
done before. If I had lifted six reps and I was spent – I also knew
that there was no way my set was over. Just as I am about to give
up, I hear the voice spotting me blurt out, "One more… come on… it
is all you… one more… you got it… push it up." My friend, Brian,
will consistently push me to do one more than I would if he wasn't
there, and that is why when I work out with Brian my muscles are
consistently in the growth zone.
If you are doing a set of 10 reps and are spent – you will get 90%
of your growth if you do an 11th or 12th rep. The first 10 are
maintaining what you have. The final two are the growth reps - these
are the reps where you stretch yourself.
I have found that success in life is very similar to building muscle
in the gym. If you are doing what you are comfortable with or can do
easily you never will grow. You will never expand to reach your full
potential. Growth only occurs in life when you are pushing yourself
to something new. This could mean learning a foreign language,
learning to play an instrument, conquering your fears or pursuing
your life long dream of building a business, writing a play,
authoring a book or talking to people that you normally would shy
away from.
Growth in life is going to come when you are pushing yourself to
lift the weights of life that you can only lift with a spotter. This
means that you should not be afraid to team up with others and rely
on them in your effort to grow. If you are going to build muscle in
the gym you are going to need to do two things: #1 Lift more weight;
#2 Have a Spotter. The answers for success in life are very similar.
Sometimes a spotter in life could be a personal life coach. There is
absolutely no doubt that they will push you to lift more weight and
be there to spot you when you feel that you can't get the weight off
your chest.
Go for more weight this week and get
yourself a spotter!

4. 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.
