1. Let It Be You by Jim Rohn
Each and every day, there are people all around the country and world who are living their dreams. Millionaires are made every day. Families are experiencing tremendous relationships. People are becoming more and more healthy. Life-long learners are growing intellectually and improving their chances for success.
The fact is that living the life of your dreams is possible. People prove that every day. Someone somewhere is going to get rich, get healthy and improve their life. My recommendation is this: Let it be you!
Have you ever wanted to make more money? Have you ever looked at someone who has money and wished that it could be you? People think about getting wealthy all of the time, when only a small percentage actually does. But any of the masses could. Someone is going to start a business. Someone is going to make a great investment. Someone is going to begin the journey to great wealth. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to decide to improve their relationships. Someone is going to enjoy love with their family. Someone is going to schedule some meaningful time with their friends. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to go back to school to improve their life. Someone is going to become a life-long learner. Someone is going to set a goal to read a book or listen to a CD each week for the next year. So why not let it be you?
Someone is going to look in the mirror and see that they need to lose a little weight and they will make the decision to become healthy. Someone will run their first marathon. Someone will join an aerobics class and improve their health. Why not let it be you?
I think that by now you get the point: Everyday people are improving their lives. Whether you do or not doesn't matter to those who do. They are going to do it, regardless. It is simply a matter of a decision being made. Let that person be you!
You may be asking, "Okay Jim, but how?" Well, let's cover the very simple actions.
The first and most important is to make a commitment to work on yourself. Are you going to improve or stay the same? No matter what you have achieved, you are at a certain point right now. What you have achieved in the past is fine, but it doesn't make a difference for the future. The decision about what you will become is made each day and every day. Each day someone is making the decision to better him or herself. Let that person be you!
The second is to make a plan. Once you have decided to become better you will have to have a plan. It doesn't have to be a long, intricate plan. It can be simple. Save a dollar a day. Walk a mile a day. Read an article a day. That is a simple plan with achievable goals. Someone is going to develop a plan that will take them into the future of their dreams. Let it be you!
The third is to begin to act. All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.
My encouragement to you is to stop looking at others who live the good life, wishing that you were as well, and instead begin to commit to your improvement, develop a plan and act on it. Someone is going to. Let it be you!
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

2. Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn
Sophistication
Most people are just trying to get through the day. Sophisticated people learn how to get from the day.
Sophistication is understanding the difference between trinkets and treasures.
Don´t spend major money on minor things. In the last ten years the guy has bought two tons of donuts and only two books – and the books are primarily filled with pictures.
Sophisticated people don´t leave early. The man says, "Yeah, but I want to beat the traffic." Isn´t that a great skill to have - beating the traffic!
It doesn´t take a million dollars to learn the difference between a bottle of fine wine and a Pepsi. Sophistication is a study not an amount.
One of the early signs of sophistication is not giving way to all inclinations but rather sending your emotions to school so they will learn how to behave.
Money doesn´t make you sophisticated. Only study and practice make you sophisticated. Even people of modest means can become sophisticated because it is within study and practice. How much is a night out at the symphony? About thirty dollars. You say, "Poor people can´t afford thirty dollars to go to the symphony." Yes, they can. It´s only thirty Hershey bars!
We must teach our children not to spend their money a dollar at a time. If you spend your money a dollar at a time, you´ll wind up with trinkets instead of treasures. You can´t buy much of value a dollar at a time.
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. Creating a Positive Attitude to Achieve Positive Results by Mark Victor Hansen
Your attitude determines the state of world you live in. It is the foundation for every success and every failure you have had and will have. Your attitude will make you or break you.
Attitude creates the way you feel about people and situations. Your actions are a result of your attitude, which, in turn, creates a reaction from others. So, basically, what you think ... you get. It is your attitude toward others and the Universe that determines the resultant attitude toward you. Incorporate a positive, joyful attitude and you'll have positive, joyful results. Put out a bad, negative attitude and you've failed before you begin.
I know it sounds simple, but the truth is….it IS simple!
WHERE DO NEGATIVE ATTITUDES COME FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Negative attitudes come from thinking negative thoughts over and over until they have become a part of your subconscious – they've become habitual, a part of your personality. You may not even realize you have a negative attitude because it's been with you for so long. Once you have a bad attitude, you expect failure and disaster. This expectation turns you into a strong magnet for failure and disaster. Then it becomes a vicious circle. You expect the worst - you get the worst - your negative beliefs are reinforced – you expect the worst – you get …
. . . Got the picture?
SO, HOW DO WE SHIFT OUR THOUGHTS AND CREATE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE?
It takes work, but creating anything of value takes work. In order to have a new attitude we have to change our subconscious thinking. How do we do this? By analyzing every thought we have until positive thinking becomes habit. You're merely replacing an old habit with a healthy habit, much like replacing exercise for smoking.
You can't just stop being negative – you have to replace those negative thoughts with positive ones.
Some people would say, "But negative situations are a reality. They just show up in every day life."
This is absolutely not true. Situations are a reality, yes. They do show up. It is your ATTITUDE that makes a situation positive or negative. It's time for you to realize that YOU are in control of how you think and feel – no one else on earth has this power unless you give it away. Take control of your attitude, and you take control of your results.
"Your state of mind creates the state of your results."

5. Customer Testimonials - October 9 - 15, 2007
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
hundreds we have received from readers over the years, please go to Customer Testimonials
Hi Jim, recently I received and bought the entire 18 products in your $49- dollar sale. Jim, I have to commend you on a superb pack. Beside it being the best value package I ever received as well as it being delivered to my home in Adelaide, Australia within a week, I have been blown away by the superb content. Jim your masterful teaching as well as so many other speakers in this pack just switch on that pilot light inside of me and I'm able now to turn up the gas and get a giant flame going. Since receiving your pack and getting inspired I have pushed forward with day trading on the stock market (which I nearly gave up) and are now earning over $10,000 a month.
By the way Jim, after listening to 'The Challenge to
Succeed' I bought the book 'The Richest Man in Babylon' off Amazon within minutes of you putting out the challenge. I have it now and read it daily and am taking to heart the simple yet profound wisdom of the book. I'm storing up 10% of my income and are putting it to work and seeing the saving's profits (children) work for me also. I am now a passionate fan of Brian Tracy and Bob Proctor and are carefully going through their CD sets 'Success Mastery Academy' and 'The Power to
Have it All'. I am only scratching the surface of this incredible pack as there is so much more for me to get through. I wake up daily at 6 am and go on long walks and listen to all the CDs through my ipod. I'm doing 2 hour seminars a day plus reading for over an hour and I've been this way for over 6 months now and will never go back to my old way of life. God Bless you Jim.

"When Andrew Carnegie died, they discovered
a sheet of paper upon which he had written one of the major goals of his life:
to spend the first half of his life accumulating money and to spend the last
half of his life giving it all away. And he did!" Jim Rohn
