Special note: Today, here in the United States of America, is a day of
remembrance: one to honor the sacrifices and lives of those brave
men and women who died and gave their lives on September 11, 2001
and the days that followed. That day stands as a landmark, a
reminder of what makes our nation great, the day the United States
stayed true to our colors. We felt the sting of death but we did not
yield. We shed tears as we went to work and pulled together --
united. So today, while we bow our heads in silence to remember
those who were lost, let us also remember to lift our eyes to our
brave men and women who fight to protect and defend our freedom
today and to say, Thank You and God Bless. We remember...

6. More Information
1. What Constitutes a Good Life? by Jim Rohn
The ultimate expression of life is not a paycheck. The ultimate
expression of life is not a Mercedes. The ultimate expression of
life is not a million dollars or a bank account or a home. Here's
the ultimate expression of life in my opinion, and that is living
the good life. Here's what we must ask constantly, "What for me
would be a good life?" And you have to keep going over and over the
list. A list including areas such as spirituality, economics,
health, relationships and recreation. What would constitute a good
life? I've got a short list.
1) Number one, productivity. You won't be happy if you don't
produce. The game of life is not rest. We must rest, but only long
enough to gather strength to get back to productivity. What's the
reason for the seasons and the seeds, the soil and the sunshine, the
rain and the miracle of life? It's to see what you can do with it.
To try your hand, other people have tried their hand; here's what
they did. You try your hand to see what you can do. So part of life
is productivity.
2) Next are good friends. Friendship is probably the greatest
support system in the world. Don't deny yourself the time to develop
this support system. Nothing can match it. It's extraordinary in its
benefit. Friends are those wonderful people who know all about you
and still like you. A few years ago I lost one of my dearest
friends. He died at age 53 - heart attack. David is gone, but he was
one of my very special friends. I used to say of David that if I was
stuck in a foreign jail somewhere accused unduly and if they would
allow me one phone call, I would call David. Why? He would come and
get me. That's a friend. Somebody who would come and get you. Now
we've all got casual friends. And if you called them they would say,
"Hey, if you get back, call me we'll have a party." So you've got to
have both, real friends and casual friends.
3) Next on the list of a good life is your culture. Your language,
your music, the ceremonies, the traditions, the dress. All of that
is so vitally important that you must keep it alive. In fact it is
the uniqueness of all of us that when blended together brings
vitality, energy, power, influence, uniqueness and rightness to the
world.
4) Next is your spirituality. It helps to form the foundation of the
family that builds the nation. And make sure you study, practice and
teach. Don't be careless about the spiritual part of your nature,
it's what makes us who we are, different from animal, dogs, cats,
birds and mice. Spirituality.
5) Next - here's what my parents taught me. Don't miss anything.
Don't miss the game. Don't miss the performance, don't miss the
movie, don't miss the show, don't miss the dance. Go to everything
you possibly can. Buy a ticket to everything you possibly can. Go
see everything and experience all you possibly can. This has served
me so well to this day. Just before my father died at age 93 if you
were to call him at 10:30 or 11:00 at night, he wouldn't be home. He
was at the rodeo, he was watching the kids play softball, he was
listening to the concert, he was at church, he was somewhere every
night.
Live a vital life. Here's one of the reasons why. If you live well,
you will earn well. If you live well it will show in your face, it
will show in the texture of your voice. There will be something
unique and magical about you if you live well. It will infuse not
only your personal life but also your business life. And it will
give you a vitality nothing else can give.
6) Next are your family and the inner circle. Invest in them and
they'll invest in you. Inspire them and they'll inspire you. With
your inner circle take care of the details. When my father was still
alive, I used to call him when I traveled. He'd have breakfast most
every morning with the farmers. Little place called The Decoy Inn
out in the country where we lived in Southwest Idaho. So Papa would
go there and have breakfast and I'd call him just to give him a
special day. Now if I was in Israel, I'd have to get up in the
middle of the night, but it only took five minutes, ten minutes. So
I'd call Papa and they'd bring him the phone. I'd say, "Papa I'm in
Israel." He'd say, "Israel! Son, how are things in Israel?" He'd
talk real loud so everybody could hear - my son's calling me from
Israel. I'd say, "Papa last night they gave me a reception on the
rooftop underneath the stars overlooking the Mediterranean." He'd
say, "Son, a reception on the rooftop underneath the stars
overlooking the Mediterranean." Now everybody knows the story. It
only took 5 - 10 minutes, but what a special day for my father, age
93.
If a father walks out of the house and he can still feel his
daughter's kiss on his face all day, he's a powerful man. If a
husband walks out of the house and he can still feel the imprint of
his wife's arms around his body he's invincible all day. It's the
special stuff with the inner circle that makes you strong and
powerful and influential. So don't miss that opportunity. Here's the
greatest value. The prophet said, "There are many virtues and
values, but here's the greatest, one person caring for another."
There is no greater value than love. Better to live in a tent on the
beach with someone you love than to live in a mansion by yourself.
One person caring for another, that's one of life's greatest
expressions.
So make sure in your busy day to remember the true purpose and the
reasons you do what you do. May you truly live the kind of life that
will bring the fruit and rewards that you desire.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
IDEAS
If you wish to find, you must search. Rarely does a good idea
interrupt you.
Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need is just one more
good idea.
Ideas are information taking shape.
When a new idea comes our way, we must put it on our mental scales
and weigh it carefully before deciding its value.
One of the secrets to success is ideas mixed with inspiration.
Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of
good ideas and information. That's called doing your homework.
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. Writing a Book Gives You Total Control over Your Financial Destiny by Christopher Guerriero
Writing a book gives you total control over your financial
destiny.
That's a bold statement so let me back it up with a simple
analogy about becoming an author, and then show you how you can
become a best selling author in 28 days or less...
To get the most of writing a book, you simply need to understand
the difference between these 2 people: Person A: is told that
they must work HARD, get a good job, work for years at that
job... and then they might be able to live their dream life.
How many of you work hard? I'll bet everyone reading this works
hard!
How many of you are truly wealthy? That number is probably far
less than the number of you who work hard...
What happened?
Let me tell you what happened – "THEY" lied...
Now Person B: works SMART. Maybe they write a book and become an
author, maybe they do a little research and learn how to market
a book, maybe they take that a little further and get a
publisher for their book.
I know you've heard others say that you need to work SMART, but
in today's society working smart means... that you only do the
things that give you long term income whether you decide to
continue working or not – like writing a book that has longevity
on the bookshelves so that book sell for many years to come.
And this is something you can get started with little money,
little experience, and right away!
At the end of your life are you going to be like person A or B.
Will you write your book or will you die with your book still
inside your head?
What safety methods are you setting up now so you don't have to
worry about laying on your death bed thinking about all you've
done in life and asking why that whole "Working Hard Thing"
didn't pay off?
Who's going to remember you in 10 years? What about 20 years
after you're gone, or 50 years?
Are your great grandkids going to admire what you achieved while
you lived?
Are they going o be able to use you as a role model...
Think about that for a moment because that was one of the most
profound thoughts that was put into my head right before I wrote
a book – in fact I wrote my first book with the goals of helping
the greatest number of people possible - to outlive me and make
my teachings live on way past the point of my lifespan – and to
be an instruction guide for my children and their children and
all my future generations.
Now how many of you would like to get involved in a program like
that?
It's easy - The Automatic Bestseller Starter Kit walks you
through the exact process of how I became a bestselling author
without any experience, without any contacts, and without any
clue where to begin.
The starter kit talks all about writing, publishing, and
marketing an outrageously successful book - one that you can be
proud of, and one that your family will be proud of.
There's only a limited number of these kits that I'm releasing
to the public for free so grab one for yourself now at:

"You must constantly ask
yourself these questions: Who am I around? What are they
doing to me? What have they got me reading? What have they
got me saying? Where do they have me going? What do they
have me thinking? And most important, what do they have me
becoming? Then ask yourself the big question: Is that okay?" Jim Rohn
4. Have You Ever Wanted To Be A Bestselling Author?
Picture this ...
A delivery truck pulls up to your doorstep, a man gets out of
the truck and hands you your first box of books, then within 60
days of that delivery - that book becomes
an international best-seller and sells over 60,000 copies.
I
'm about to tell you how you can make that happen for yourself,
but first I want you to ask yourself this question...
What would be different in your life if you were a bestselling
author?
Think about that for a moment because I'm about to give you
private access to a Bestseller Starter Kit – normally $197 –
absolutely fr~ ee to the first 1000 people who grab it at:
www.AutomaticBestsellerStarterKit.com
It's the same system my friend used to turn his book idea into a
bestseller within 60 days... without a list, without any
experience, and without any clue where to begin...
His name is Christopher Guerriero, and he's now an international
best selling author, who's about to spill the beans and let you
in on all the insider secrets that helped him sell more than
319,000 copies of his first book in less than a year.
Chris started with no book writing or marketing experience, yet
built a system that helped him sell more books in 60 days than
most authors sell in a lifetime – and since then he and his
clients have used that exact system to build an army of book
empires.
I'm not going to waste your time building this man up in your
eyes because I'm not the only one who Christopher is allowing to
give his Starter Kit away for fre~ e, and it's only available to
the first 1000 people who grab a copy.
www.AutomaticBestsellerStarterKit.com
Now I saw this kit, in fact I watched the video several times,
taking notes every time. This kit is not a sales pitch - it's
details a system that will boost your credibility, your income,
and make you a bestselling author in the process.
And he is giving it away...

5. Customer Testimonials: September 5 - 11, 2006
Here are some of the dozens of testimonials and comments we
received over the past week from E--zine subscribers. To read more
recent testimonials and the over 2500 we have received from readers
over the past year, please go to:
http://www.jimrohn.com
I just want to say that I ordered my package and paid for two day
shipping from your website and got a tracking number from the
shipper and while following the package, the shipper said they
delivered it to my front door. I went to the front door and
nothing... I looked around outside at other apartments and nothing.
I called the shipper and asked about it, they said that it showed
delivered to my front door. I explained to the lady that it was not.
She then told me that I had to contact the shipper.. I said what...
the shipper had nothing to do with it. They got the package to the
shipper and you didn't deliver it. I don't know what front porch it
was delivered to, but not mine. Anyway, I figured that I would reply
back to your email to let you know what happened. As I continued to
search the property, I got a call from Hannah at Jim Rohn. I was so
shocked. I didn't even expect a response. Well, Hannah was
fantastic... I can't say enough good words about her. I explained to
her what happened and she said let me check with my shipping manager
and within less than half an hour called me back... Again I was
shocked... She took action immediately and had another package sent
out to me. She gives true meaning to customer service. She went way
above and beyond to help me. I thank you for having someone there
like Hannah. I will be sure to order more from your website. You
have proven to me that I am a valued customer. I have been in
Customer Service for over 30 years and this was the best customer
service I had ever received. Let alone given... what to say a big,
big, big, thanks to Hannah, and if you want to call for any
recommendation I am available. I intend to tell my team about this
incident and how she resolved in it matter of half an hour. Thanks
you so much for your help, Hannah.
