1. The Great Challenge of Life by Jim Rohn
Here's the great challenge of life - You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are.
I have found that income seldom will exceed your own personal development. Once in a while income takes a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is it will go back to where you are. Somebody once said if you took all the money in the world and divided it among everyone equally; it would soon be back in the same pockets. However, you can have more because you can become more. You see, here is how the other side of the coin reads - unless you change how you are, you will always have what you've got. The marketing plan won't do it. It's a good plan but it won't work without you. You've got to work it. It is the human effort that counts. If you could send a sales manual out to recruit - wouldn't that be lovely? The major thing that makes the difference is what YOU do.
In order to have more, you need to become more. The guy says "If I had a good job I would really pour it on, but I have this lousy job so I just goof off." If that is your philosophy you are destined to stay there. Some people say if I had a lot of money I would be really generous, but I don't have much so I'm not generous. See, you've got to change that philosophy or you will never have "the lots of money". Unless YOU change, IT won't change. Amazingly, however, when we throw out our blame list and start becoming more ourselves - the difference is everything else will begin to change around us.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
My good friend Chris Widener did an in-depth interview with me, as well as other individuals such as Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Colette Carlson, John Connors (former CFO of Microsoft), Tony Alessandra and many more. Chris decided to use as many connections and as much influence as he could, pull as many strings as possible, and he was able to land one-on-one, in-depth conversations with some of today's most renowned experts in their fields. These interviews were filmed and now are available on both DVD and CD. To learn more go to

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
DISCIPLINE
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.
We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only area where I let down." Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.
Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.
Discipline has within it the potential for creating future miracles.
The best time to set up a new discipline is when the idea is strong.
One discipline always leads to another discipline.
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years.
The least lack of discipline starts to erode our self-esteem.
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. Accelerate Your Abilities by Chris Widener
In today's fast-paced life, the wins usually go to those with exceptional skills and abilities. The old quote is true, "The race is not always won by the swift and the strong, but that is the way to bet."
With this in mind, and with your desire to become increasingly successful, here are some ways to accelerate your abilities, thus enabling you to achieve greater and greater things.
Become dissatisfied with your current state. Growth for growth's sake is good. Those who will achieve much are those who say to themselves, "I want to grow. I want to be better. And I am willing to do what it takes to get there. This current state is not enough!" This dissatisfaction will create for you an insatiable drive to do what it takes to get your abilities to the next level.
Visualize the benefits of increased abilities. Put them at the forefront of your mind. This will saturate your mind with the motivation that it will take for you to do what it takes to increase your abilities. What good will come out of my increased ability? How will I be better off as well as the others around me? The answers to these questions act as the carrot before the horse, moving you forward.
Understand your weaknesses. If you want to improve, one of the best ways is to start with some area that you aren't particularly good at. This is the "shoring up method." Sometimes it is easier to improve something you aren't good at than something you are. And the gains will still look great for your overall situation! Take some time to consider what areas you are weakest in and focus in on them for a while. The results will obviously be much more pronounced than getting better at something you have already somewhat mastered.
Attempt greater levels of what you are already good at. Another tact to take would be to stretch yourself in an area that you already have some skill and ability in. What areas do you excel in? Now understand that when you leave the weaker areas weak and make extraordinary gains in one area, then you will be moving more toward "specialist" rather than "generalist." That is okay, but needs to fit in with your overall goals.
Commit time each day to improvement. Steady improvement is the way to go. In fact, you may not see improvement for days or weeks. You may feel like you are failing each time. But alas, eventually you will get it and your skill will increase to the next level. The key is day in, day out, spending time working on improving. Even five minutes a day equals a half hour a week, 2 hours a month. That adds up! Remember, Practice, practice, practice.
Seek out and spend time with someone who has greater ability than you. One of the best things to do to increase your ability is hang out with people who are already more skilled than you. Watching, them, studying them, interacting with them, even competing with them will make you better. As in sports, to improve, you play with people better than you, not worse. They will raise you to a new level. Who around you can you get involved with who will help you with your ability?
Take a class or hire a coach. Go to school my friend. Take a course at a local college or vocational institute. Take a class online. Hire one of the many coaches available today. Pick a specific skill you would like to improve upon and find someone who is a specialist in that area. At the very least, pick up some audio or videotapes to help you grow.
Be the tortoise, not the hare. Slow but sure. Take your time, do it right. Keep going in the right direction. Learn your craft correctly. Don't give up quality for speed. The whole idea of acceleration is this way: Slow start, work up to high speeds, go the distance. Luckily life isn't a sprint but a marathon!
Hope these ideas help you as you commit to accelerating your abilities!
You are Made for Success!

4. Jim Rohn New Release!
Hello, Jim Rohn here. I have something very exciting to share with you. It
has been two years in the making!
My good friend Chris Widener did an in-depth interview with me, as well as other
individuals such as Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Colette Carlson, John
Connors (former CFO of Microsoft), Tony Alessandra and many more.
Chris learned early on that if you're interested in achieving success easier,
faster and with fewer struggles, then one of the easiest ways is to learn how
other successful people did it and then simply...
Copy them!
You see, achieving success isn't all rocket science. Success is like a
combination safe. Once you get the combination right, the safe will open. And
the simplest way to get this combination is to ask those who already know what
it is.
Because of this Chris decided to use as many connections and as much influence
as he could, pull as many strings as possible, and he was able to land
one-on-one, in-depth conversations with some of today's most renowned experts in
their fields. These interviews were filmed and now are available on both DVD and
CD.
Here are just a few samples from the individual DVD/CD titles (buy
individually or the complete set - as low as $13* per title):
Success tips shared by John Connors (former CFO of
Microsoft)
- Keys to becoming a better leader.
- How to thrive as a manager in a corporate environment.
- Have you ever been asked to lead a group that knew things you didn't or did
things you aren't familiar with? Find out how John conquered this dilemma and
what he did to earn the cooperation of his team-members.
- How to get people who are better and smarter than you to work for you...
and how to keep them in your group.
- How to grow and get to the next level in your career.
Success tips shared by Colette Carlson (Colette
specializes in sales training & behavioral change)
- Are you pretending to be someone you're not just to make others happy? Or do
you find yourself saying "yes" when you actually want to say "no"? Find out how
you can be more assertive and let others know your true self and your true
desires, without worrying about offending others in the process.
- How to defeat self-doubt.
- Why most women play the "sweet and kind" game and create a false sense of
authenticity.
- Why it's not a good idea to compare yourself with those who are at the top of
their game, and what to do instead.
- How to say "no" when you really want to (and not feel bad about it).
Success tips shared by David Cook (David has been named
one of the top 10 sports psychologists in the world and has served as mental
training coach for the world champion San Antonio Spurs and counseled hundreds
of top athletes and businesses.)
- The cause of unnecessary stress and anxiety, and how to cure it.
- Why you can consider fear of failure a blessing.
- The great American trap - the common "gauge of success" that causes most
people to undermine their worth and how to break free from it.
- The one "coaching" method that anyone can use, in any field or industry, that
creates a strong and united team.
- Why some people dominate their industries while most others fail even before
they get started. Find out what makes the difference and how you can be one of
those who succeed!
- Find out how you can banish any "interference" that goes on in your head and
never be "tongue tied" whenever you're giving a presentation.
Success tips shared by Brian Tracy (one of America's
leading authorities on development of human potential and personal
effectiveness)
- How "the law of cause and effect" works, and how you can use it to design the
life you've always dreamed about.
- Combinations, recipes and formulas for success.
- The most valuable education you can give yourself. Clue: It's not an MBA, and
it's worth 10-20 times more than a university education!
- An insider look into the mindset of top salespeople. (This is the secret they
keep "hush-hush" so they always have an edge over their competitors.)
- How to be a master at anything.
- The simple key to prosperity and entrepreneurial success.
Success tips shared by Mark Victor Hansen have sold
over 100 million books through his Chicken Soup For The Soul series and The
Power Of Focus, and The One Minute Millionaire.
- How he took a book that nobody wanted to publish and turned it into a
multi-million best seller.
- Examples of how to grow rich in a niche.
- 3 things you need to have to get yourself out of sticky situations.
- The key skill everyone should have if they're interested in succeeding in
life.
