Do something different. The next 90 days than you did
the last 90 days, like, picking up the books to read, do
something different, like the new health disciplines
relationship with your family. Whatever it is, doesn't matter
how small it is. You'll start doing different
things with the same circumstances since we cannot
change the circumstances, but we can change ourselves.
We can change what we do, and then he gave me another secret
to success. When he What you have at the
moment, mr. Own, you've attracted by the
person, you've become what you have at the moment.
You've attracted by the person you become.
Few little simple principles here.
Once you understand these it starts to explain so much.
Now, sometimes it's a little tough to take blaming yourself
instead of the marketplace taking responsibility.
Instead of putting it off on someone else.
Those step transition. Sometimes is a challenging
mission. And this one was a little tough
for me. He said, mister and you've got
pennies in your pocket. You've got nothing in the bag.
The creditors are calling you're behind on your promises.
He says, here's how that occurs you've attracted up.
Until now, you've attracted the things to you because of the
person you've become. Now I said well, how can I
change all that? He said, very simple.
If you will change, everything will change for you.
You don't have to change. What's outside.
All you've got to change is what's inside?
To have more, you simply have to become more.
And then he said don't wish it was easier.
Wish you were better. Don't wish for Less Problems.
Wish for more skills, start working on yourself, making
these personal changes, and he said, it'll all change for you.
She'll said here's a secret. Mr. Own learn to work harder on
yourself than you do on your job.
Once I got that, it turned my life around learn to work harder
on yourself than you do on your job.
He said, if you work hard on your job, you'll make a living.
If you work hard on yourself. You can make a fortune.
If you would have known me at age, 25 you would have said, Jim
Rohn is a hard worker. If You Don't Own Me, you just
said that. I'm the guy.
I don't mind coming a little bit early, still a little bit late.
I don't mind that you'd have said.
Well Jim runs a hard worker. You say well, how come he's got
pennies in his pocket and nothing in the bank and behind
on his promises. Well, I was a hard worker.
But I was working hard on my job.
Not on my cell. I'm telling you if you'll learn
that simple, little principle and start the process today.
Latest tomorrow give you tonight to think of who.
And start this whole process of personal development.
Work on yourself, make yourself more valuable to the
marketplace. I'm telling you, you can so
dynamically, change your income. And economics is the least of
the values that you can start earning in terms of equity.
If you'll start working harder on yourself than you do on your
job, work hard on your left, the skills work, hard on yourself
and develop The Graces all of the stuff necessary to become
more valuable to the market. I'm telling you your whole life
can explode into change promotions.
No problem becoming more valuable to the company.
Jillian. No problem money.
No problem, economics. No problem future.
No problem. If you just go to work on the
right thing, not get things out there to change.
Don't try to change, the see, don't change the soil, don't
change the sunshine, don't change the rain, don't change
the mix of Seasons, let the miracle of everything that's
available work for you. And start working on the inside,
work, on your philosophy, work on your attitude.
Attitude work on your personality work, on your
language, work on the gift of communication work on all of
your abilities. And if you'll start making those
personal changes, I'm telling you, everything will change for
you. Mr. Show for over, a five-year
period before he died at age 49, who taught me some
extraordinarily simple things. He only went to the ninth grade
in School, never finished high school, and never went to
college, never went to University.
So he put his ideas and his experiences in very simple
language, which I think for me, you know, kid from The Farms of
Idaho that Simplicity was so important.
Because if it would have been technical out of missed it, if
it would have been Mystic, I, you know, I would have, you
know, backed away, but it was just basic.
On ABC familiar stuff that I haven't thought of before and he
did start to remind me and those ideas changed my life.
Mr. Chauffeur is the one when I said, you know, this is all they
pay. He said you've been working.
Six years. Mr. Own.
How come you're not doing better?
And I said, this is all the company pays he says, well,
that's not true. I said, no.
This is my paycheck. This is all the company pays.
He said. No, this is all the company pays
you. I thought.
That's a new way to look at it, right?
He said doesn't the company, paid, two, three, four, five
times. This amount other people I said,
well, yes, he said. Well, then this is not all the
company pays. It's all they pay you and if you
qualified wouldn't your income grow?
Two, three, four, five times since I suppose, so he said we
don't have to work on the company.
We have to work on. You see that was the beginning
of what he called, the phrase personal development.
I told him things cost too much. He said, no, you can't afford
him. I thought well, that's a New
Concept. I hadn't thought about that.
You know, we put some of the valuable things on the high
shelf so you can't get too into you qualify.
If you want to things on the higher shelf.
You got to stand on the books. You read every book you read,
you get to stand a little higher so you can get the things on a
higher shelf. See I learned those Concepts.
It was so incredible. And here was the most important
one success. Is something you attract by the
person. You become see that phrase
change. My life.
Success is something you attract by the person you become.
Success is not something you pursue.
It's like chasing a butterfly. You can't quite catch.
It success is something you attract by becoming an
attractive person. See, those were new Concepts to
me. I'm just working hard, trying to
make a living. Here's what he said to me, this
change my life. I got a chance to teach this in
Moscow and across Russia, three visits.
Now the fourth, here's what shelf taught me.
Profits are better than wages. Nobody taught me that in high
school. Nobody taught me that I went to
one year of college. Nobody taught me, profits are
better than wages wages, make you a living prophets, make you
a fortune. And how could you work on both a
living end of Fortune? He said, well, you could start
part-time working on your fortune while you're working
full-time on your living. I thought.
Wow. Now he said it's fun to get up
in the morning. Not just getting up, go to work
to pay the rent. But to get up to go to work to
make a fortune first to make a living for my family, s to make
a fortune and he taught me how to make both a living in a
fortune. Guess what?
I did. I learned how to make both the
living and a fortune. And I found out anybody could do
it once they get the information and at age 25.
I started receiving this extraordinary information.
Here's what he said. Your income is directly related
to your philosophy. Not to the economy.
I thought no one ever told me that.
I kept hoping the economy with change.
He said, no, your philosophy has to change.
I assured him that I had my fingers crossed.
He said that won't help. Then what could I do to change
my income and x 2 by 3, by 5 by 10?
And then multiply by 10 again. What could I do?
And he started giving me the disciplines in the process of
learning the skills. To change my life.
This was an extraordinary man. Those were extraordinary times
for me, life changing in every manner that you can imagine, but
very simple ABC Concepts. Here's what I learned not to.
To search for the Exotic until you've discovered the basic.
And those basic philosophies that he shared with me during
that time. We're life-changing.
Success is something you attract by the person you become.
Success is not something you pursue Chase run after success
is something you develop, something.
You become you attract success. So the whole key to unlock all
the treasures, whether its economic Treasures, or spiritual
Treasures, Financial social personal, every way you can
possibly think of is by your own personal development.
Then he added one more, which is so important and it's probably
worth the price of the seminar. Here.
It is. What you become is much more
valuable than what you get, what you become.
It's much more valuable than what you get.
The major question to ask on the job, is not, what am I getting
here? The major question to ask on the
job is, what am I becoming here? Not what am I getting?
What am I becoming? So it's very important.
What you become. Because what you become a
tracks, if you become cynical, you attract cynicism, what you
become attracts. So this whole subject of
personal development was so vitally important to me.
It changed my life. I was a millionaire by age 31
and that was just the economic part of it.
Took me six years from age, 25, dates 31.
It was unbelievable. Remember, be a student, not a
follower. And here's what you must always
do, design your own personal life.
I'm very happy for people to take notes in my seminar, but
I'm also just as happy. If somebody says hey, this is
not for me, tear up all these notes and throw them away.
That's just as valid for me, right?
Remember be no one's disciple. Did chart your own course.
Make what you do the product of your own conclusion.
What I'm saying here is be your own person.
You don't have to be a model of someone else.
You don't have to do it. Like anybody else right?
Do it like yourself by what you want to buy.
Listen to what you want to listen to make changes if you
want to make changes and don't make changes, right?
It's your life. I'm telling you and don't let
anybody persuade you any different success is not a
stereotype success is not a Ferrari.
Success, is Not an automobile. It's not a house.
It's not a It's not money in the bank.
It's not a million dollars. That's not success.
Success is the continual unfolding of the design of your
own life and pulling it off. That's what success is.
The continual unfolding of the design of your own personal life
and pulling it off in whatever degree, you.
Wish. That is success.
Successful in doing whatever you want to do that make sense to
you for you your family, your responsibilities or take on
responsibilities or refuse responsibilities that's strictly
all up to you. We've been given the Power of
Choice. Every life form except human
beings operates by Instinct in the genetic code.
Now, why not human beings? Because here it is.
We've been given the Dignity of choice.
We're not like a robot. We're not stuck like a tree
using up all the nourishment. Nothing left.
Now, you die, because you can't change location.
Not true. Humans, can go north.
South east west. Humans can change do anything.
They want to do. We've been given the dignity.
But here's what's interesting about all life form except
humans every life form, except humans strives to the max of its
potential. How tall will a tree grow?
As tall as it possibly can. You never heard of a tree grown
half as high as it could. No?
No, that is impossible. A Tree Grows as high as it can
drives down every routed, can produces every leaf at Cannes
extends itself. As far as it possibly can, every
life-form extends to the max except human beings now, why not
human beings? Because we're not robots.
We've been given the Dignity of choice.
And here's a couple of alternatives on the Dignity of
choice to be part of or all of you, have the potential to be
and you got the choice. Do a little to make yourself
comfortable and forget the rest, or do it all and there's nobody
here to dictate. You got to do at all that's
nonsense. You got to be rich cause we live
in a rich country. That's nonsense.
You don't have to be rich, you don't have to do it.
All you can do a little. Do some, do some more take
advice, but don't take orders. Take information, take training,
take teaching, but don't take orders from no one.
That tells you how you need to live and what you need to own
and what you need to do. Some says well, you need to be
successful. That's a personal choice being
successful. What we teach is the
possibilities of possibilities and everybody chooses.
Take a little, take a lot, do some, do nothing.
Abraham Lincoln said since I would be no one slave.
I will be no one's mister. Excellent philosophy.
If a guy says, hey, I'm soon, catching it in.
I'm heading for the mountains. I'm gonna live in a little
cabin, live off the land and feed the squirrels if he goes
and does that, guess what? He's a smashing success, why
he's doing what he designed to do and went and did it and
pulled it off. You can't say no.
No, that's not successful. That is the epitome of success
is giving a design to your life and go pull it off.
Making progress in that direction, that satisfies you,
if it doesn't satisfy you make Alternatives and you change.
And if you get some better ideas, sure, you may follow
someone suggesting ideas, but not orders.
Design your own life. Like you wanted that will fit.
Now if you take on some responsibilities now, you got to
consider those. Yes, you can ignore your sponsor
abilities, but you won't feel good about that.
Guess what? The old Prophet said?
Some things that taste good. Now in the mouth, turns bitter
later in the belly. So, you don't want to sacrifice,
we all must suffer. One of two panes, regardless of
your choice of lifestyle and what you want to do.
We must all suffer. One of two panes, the pain of
discipline, or the pain of regret.
And what we suggest everybody is to consider the disciplines
because disciplines way Oz regrets weighed tons.
You don't want to substitute a discipline for a regret in our
opinion. That would be a poor choice.
Now you can do it. Some things are poor trade-offs.
Guild Prophet said, what if you gain the whole world but it
costs you, your soul. Would that be worth it?
And with a bit of intelligence, we say, no, it doesn't seem
worth it. Even if you got the whole world,
if you traded your soul. That experience would be so
bitter and so awful and so devastating, it wouldn't be
worth it. What if you got some gained by
greed, instead of legitimate ambition?
I'm telling you it might taste good up front, but it's going to
turn bitter in the belly and a bit of that advice saved some
people from Devastation say, well, you're right.
I better think twice about that. So we must confront all laws
spiritual laws, agricultural laws, basic laws, fundamental
laws. We must confront all of those,
but you still now can design your own life, a little, a lot,
go east, north south.
