Always leave people with a solution the heaven if you do versus the hell if you don't. If you're really skillful you can put the person into the future solution. Shoaff used to say, 'Jim, I can see you now in your new clothes, in your new home, in your new car. I can see others walking up to you.' The Promise of the Future is an Awesome Force!

Words in the mind are like colors on the palette of the artist. The more colors we have access to, the easier it is to create a captivating picture on the canvas, and the more practice we give to using those many colors appropriately and uniquely, the more likely we will be to create a masterpiece of self expression.
Jim Rohn

We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
Jim Rohn
Image
Don't spend all of your money a quarter at a time. Save up and buy something special, something fine, something of lasting value, or something that will give you rich memories for a lifetime. Remember, all that candy money can add up to a small fortune.

Real wisdom is simple. Living life rightly does not have to be a complicated challenge.
Jim Rohn
Image
Don't waste your time trying to turn ducks into eagles. Hire people who already have the motivation and drive to be eagles and then just let them soar.

Image
For things to change for you, you've got to change!
Jim Rohn

An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.
Jim Rohn
Image
Your paycheck is not your employer's responsibility, it's your responsibility. Your employer has no control over your value, but you do.
Jim Rohn
Image
Life is a unique combination of want to and how to and we need to give equal attention to both.
Jim Rohn
Image
The future does not get better by hope, it gets better by plan. And to plan for the future we need goals.
Jim Rohn
Image
Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more wisdom. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. Success is not to be pursued it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style.
