1. Four Words that Make Life Worthwhile by Jim Rohn
Over the years as I've sought out ideas, principles and strategies to life's challenges, I've come across four simple words that can make living worthwhile.
First, life is worthwhile if you LEARN. What you don't know WILL hurt you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experiences - negative or positive. We learn to do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong. We call that a positive negative. We also learn from other people's experiences, both positive and negative. I've always said that it is too bad failures don't give seminars. Obviously, we don't want to pay them so they aren't usually touring around giving seminars. But that information would be very valuable – we would learn how someone who had it all then messed it up. Learning from other people's experiences and mistakes is valuable information because we can learn what not to do without the pain of having tried and failed ourselves.
We learn by what we see so pay attention. We learn by what we hear so be a good listener. Now I do suggest that you should be a selective listener, don't just let anybody dump into your mental factory. We learn from what we read so learn from every source; learn from lectures; learn from songs; learn from sermons; learn from conversations with people who care. Always keep learning.
Second, life is worthwhile if you TRY. You can't just learn; now you have to try something to see if you can do it. Try to make a difference, try to make some progress, try to learn a new skill, try to learn a new sport. It doesn't mean you can do everything, but there are a lot of things you can do, if you just try. Try your best. Give it every effort. Why not go all out?
Third, life is worthwhile if you STAY. You have to stay from spring until harvest. If you have signed up for the day or for the game or for the project - see it through. Sometimes calamity comes and then it is worth wrapping it up. And that's the end, but just don't end in the middle. Maybe on the next project you pass, but on this one, if you signed up, see it through.
And lastly, life is worthwhile if you CARE. If you care at all you will get some results, if you care enough you can get incredible results. Care enough to make a difference. Care enough to turn somebody around. Care enough to start a new enterprise. Care enough to change it all. Care enough to be the highest producer. Care enough to set some records. Care enough to win.
Four powerful little words: learn, try, stay and care. What difference can you make in your life today by putting these words to work?
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
STEWARDSHIP
How much should you earn? As much as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether you earn $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year as long as you've done the best you can.
The man says, "If I had a fortune, I'd take good care of it. But I only have a paycheck and I don't know where it all goes." Wouldn't you love to have him running your company?
If you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there are just a few. If you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed - when there is just a few.
Start from wherever you are and with whatever you've got.
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. Bring on the Boosters! By Chris Widener
Nobody becomes a success alone, period. There is no such person who is "self made." I know this because I have regularly involved myself with some of America's most successful people and as I listen to their stories I realize that all of them have had what I call their own "booster club."
When I think back over my life I realize that I have had my own booster club: People who gave me a boost, either through direct help, opening doors to others or opportunities, or through their belief in or encouragement of me.
I think of my mother who was left a widow at age 40 to raise me alone. She believed in me. She sacrificed for me. She gave up much so that I could become what I dreamed of. My mother was my booster!
I think of a man who is the CEO of a twenty five billion dollar a year company who, when I was only three years out of college and striking out on my own, sent me a check out of the blue. It wasn't an investment; it was a gift. Then he sent another... and another. Every month for nearly 7 years he sent me a check. Nothing large enough to live on but enough to be a sign that he believed in me. When I asked him why he did it, he said, "Because I believe in what you are doing and that you are the one to do it." To have someone of his stature believe in you! Wow - is he ever a booster!
I think of my good friends, Tony and Jenni. When they were married they moved in right next door to us. They have become our best friends. Every step of the way they have loved us, challenged us, and encouraged us. They have been there in the darkest hours and in the brightest days. They are definitely boosters!
I think of my two friends named Kevin. The first, my best friend, lives here in Seattle. He is a guy that I laugh with, talk about things with and thoroughly enjoy all of my time with. He always comes through for me. In fact, as I write this, he came through for me just yesterday! When I know that I need a boost, he does whatever he can. And being one of the most competent men I have ever met, he always gets the job done. Major booster!
The second Kevin lives in Atlanta. He is a "new" friend but has already been a big booster. He has been willing to open doors for me that I never would have been able to budge because those on the other side would have been unwilling to open them. But on his recommendation, they have. A great booster and a person I will get to know better throughout the years.
I think of Kyle, he has boosted me literally millions of times - every time he publishes my articles and brings me out to speak at an event he helps me bring my message to the masses. To know that a person like Kyle sees the value in my message is an incredible boost!
I think of my most fanatical booster, my wife Lisa. No one believes in me more than she does. In fact, there are many times I wonder who she thinks she's married to! She sees the best in me even when there is nothing good to see. She sticks by me through it all and encourages me to go for my dreams. What a blessing - what a booster!
I think of my kids. They boost me every time I leave in the morning and when I come through the door at night. They boost my life and my career! Above all, they boost my happiness and my spirits each and every day. Big boosters in little bodies!
I think of God - the ultimate booster. In a scene from The Count of Monte Cristo, the Count, still in prison, tells the old man prisoner who is with him, "I don't believe in God." The old man replies, "That's okay. God believes in you!" While I don't understand all that God is I do believe that if God is for me, then it matters not who or what is against me!
So where does this leave us? Is this just a trip down memory lane? No, in fact, I have two specific actions for you as it relates to boosters:
One, make a list of your boosters. Then take a moment to send them a note to say thanks for what they have done and been for you!
Second, decide for yourself that you will be someone else's booster! Be very specific and begin to invest yourself into that person's life. Encourage them. Open doors for them. Challenge them. Give of yourself to them so that they can soar. Be their booster!
Bring on the boosters!

A Special Message from Chris Widener:
Let Jim Rohn be one of your boosters! Jim and I have this great relationship going where he lets me host and emcee his Weekend event. Folks, if you can only attend one event this year, THIS is THE event to attend. This is my third time to host and it continues to amaze me each time as I watch the transformations take place when people have those "light bulb" moments throughout the seminar, and at the end of the two days, they are just beaming -- no pun intended ;_) -- with new life, hope and inspiration to go, do and become. They are inspired, called forward and uplifted as only Jim Rohn can do it, in his unassuming yet poignant way of presenting the truth that flies like an arrow to the target of our hearts.
So let me say, if you've been on the fence, hemming and hawing trying to decide if you want to go. In the Nike style -- Just DO IT!! I promise you'll be forever changed and impacted!

4. Jim Rohn 'live' Two-Day Weekend (90% sold out)!
Over the years we have had literally thousands of letters, phone calls and emails from former Weekend Seminar attendees who, prior to attending this special seminar, had attended multiple Jim Rohn seminars and had listened to his tapes countless times. These same people, after attending the Jim Rohn Weekend experience, have unequivocally pinpointed this two day investment in Jim's message and philosophies as having dramatically catapulted both their careers and personal lives to new levels.
The dynamic combination of your intense focus, Jim's investment of experience and time, and the synergy generated by top performers gathered from all parts of the globe uniquely packaged in this Weekend Event creates a dividend that can be re-invested time and again throughout your life.
What makes this Weekend event different from other seminars?
If challenged to summarize this event in one sentence... The Jim Rohn Weekend is about designing a unique life. Undeniably financial, personal and other aspects of success are integral parts, but Jim Rohn will focus for two days on teaching you the fundamentals and essential wisdom that will enable you to mold a personal philosophy designed to impact and amend your thinking patterns and daily habits immediately.
The first day is devoted exclusively to forming your philosophies. From there you will continue to build on this foundation to create a life plan for your ongoing personal development. Communication being a vital part in this foundation, Jim, the master communicator, will deliver to you the fundamental keys for becoming a master communicator in business, family and life.
With this solid foundation laid, day two is focused on Goal Setting, Financial Independence, Leadership and Making Your Life a Masterpiece.
The powerful combination of truth and in-depth ideas, the magic of hearing Jim's wisdom in person, and the attendees' synergistic concentration on Jim's words crescendos in the Saturday afternoon session. The last half of day two you could hear a pin drop. Every word from the podium is absorbed and translated to paper. As Jim closes and speaks his last words to the thundering applause of a standing ovation, the audience continues to linger not wanting to lose the experience. Fortunately, they don't lose it. In fact when they write, call or email their stories to us days, weeks and years later the experience is just as clear and vivid as it was the day they attended. And when they call to say 'thank you' and to share their own incredible stories of accomplishment they often ask when the next available date is so they can attend and renew the experience one more time.
Will this be a once in a lifetime opportunity?
Absolutely! Jim only does a two-day event every 2-4 years. This year is a rare exception. Jim did one in March (which sold out in a few weeks) and this is the last one we have scheduled or planned (and it is over 90% sold out).
If you would like to join us for these historic two days with Jim Rohn and want more details on all the above, please go to http://www.jimrohn.com/2day
We hope to see you there!
