Hello, I hope you are having a wonderful day so far! This post is going to cover some of the topics identified in the audio recording entitled Success Strategies by Jim Rohn. To begin, I reccomend you perform this small imagination and recording task on paper or by typing it into a document. Plan to store this document in a safe and easy to find location. It should take about 10 minutes and will hopefully save a couple of the years of your lifetime of being without this knowledge. Dedicate more time if you can, it will be worth it.
In the next 1-10 years,
What do you want to own?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to see?
What do you want to be?
Where do you want to go?
What would you like to share?
After answering these questions briefly, we need to make sure you've balanced your goals and also have varied them for the years to come.
years length (3) (5) (10) on each years or months
finish one goal, start another, don't linger on success for long
best way to start another meal is to get hungry
Goals should include - Economic(income), materials, personal development, (fitness), (build better relationships), (leader, student, communicator, learn other languages), family, social, lifestyle
then after setting goals up, pick four most important of each year tier
I have designated
afterwards take this new condensed goal sheet and vividly and specifically explain what needs to be done in order to achieve that goal(also describe why to take yourself in or talk yourself out of it) what you want is powerful but why is much more important
reflect, refine, revise (4 1 year, 3 year, 5 year, and 10 year that believe and inspire me)
confidence building goals within 1 year build conf to accomplish long range goals
(model the first list)
when you check off something major, celebrate, make winning joyful,
MAKE LOSING PAINFUL PUT IT ON YOURSELF. don't join an easy crowd, join where expectations are high
Even better than having is being
What person will I have to become to get all I want?
skills, things to learn, behaviors, habits
Am I willing to become what it takes to get what I want?
Income does not far exceed personal development.
Ability will grow to match your strong dreams.
Either i have to change my wants or i have to change myself
Skill of asking! Maybe find audiobooks?
Ask and you will receive
have to be a good planner
ha to be a good goal setter AND a good asker
failing to ask is the problem
Ask with intelligence, be specific, how, when, why, what
Well defined goals are like magnets
what do i want and what for give yourself purpose
Ask with faith as a child does, adults are too skeptical at times.
Believe and have faith in yourself and your goals
Get excited like a child, childlike enthusiasm
kids can ask a thousand questions
curiosity and questions to learn,
curiosity is a virtue
hate to go to bed at night, cant wait to go up in the morning
time essentials come from objectives being well defined
don't let one day (year) blend into the next
Really critical skill - separate major activities from minor activities
mental scale, carefully weigh before you spend time or money
Is this a major or a minor?
Don't spend major time on minor things
Don’t spend major money on minor things
major time is the time spent in the presence of the prospect
minor time is the time spent on the way to the prospect
Don’t go across town until you've gone across the street

You won't get everything you want. It is not that type of planet.
But work the system and more often than not you may get what you want.
If you wish to be happy, study happiness
If you wish to be wealthy, study wealth
If you search, you will find
You must go TO the seminars, and go TO the trainings, you MUST ENGAGE in conversations
your diligent search will find you ides
when you find a good idea, CAPTURE it. Don't trust your memory.
A journal is a good gathering place. (but remember the YBR log is not really a journal, its a thinking thought to hp me improve the way i think and address the pmo habit)
Photographs are a good way
Get from your days, be aware, learn from your previous days, the record into your mind and learn from, at the end of the day go over your day what worked and what didn’t
the colors sights sound experiences of the day
experiences can become an incredible source of value if you take time to reflect
not what happens but rather what you do about what happens
this reflection, studying, can glem value information from an event
ability will grow to meet your strong dreams
You have to be a good asker
you don't have to work on receiving, failing to ask is the problem
gather all experiences and invest them into the next

find out how things work
never let be said that you don't find out

watch what successful people do, success leaves clues
invest the money, set up an education fund best money spent cultivating genius and spirit. the money small price for unlimited potential, spend the time as well though.
time is a major resource but it takes time, precious time
you can get more money buy you can get more time
but life rewards high investment with high return
spend money, time,.and effort deliberately to turn wishes into wealth
what you become is far better than what you are getting
what you become directly influences what you get
you can have more because you can become more
but you must change you

Ants prepare for winter all summer.

discernment - the ability to judge well.
The major key to your better future is YOU
There isn’t anymore time, where would you find it?
cant get more time but you can become more valuable, we get paid for value, bringing value to the marketplace is how you get paid
you don't get paid for the time you put in, you get [aid for the value of product you create
Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job
Performance comes from inside, not outside
Success is something you develop (not pursue)

The purpose of this blog is to be a resource of notes, reading suggestions, and empowering media to support a happy and financially independent lifestyle. I intend to provide quotes and notes of the books I have read and applied to my life. It is my hope that my friends and family may benefit from this information by getting a concise understanding and reference point to apply the principles and do additional reading/research to utilize the knowledge and grow in their lifestyle.
This is OUR free tool, please feel free to browse and comment as you feel necessary. I will be an active respondent.
Wealthy people are students and excellent listeners, broke people think they know everything - they are not teachable
Consider your teachability index - How teachable are you?
on a scale of 1-10 what is your willingness to learn information about wealth creation?
on a scale of 1-10 what is your willingness to accept change?
If you want thing to change, you have to change
0 * 10 = 0 (you have to have to high teachability index)
Successful people (especially concerning wealth) have a high teachability index.
Also consider the training balance scale - on one side lies motivation or dreams (why you do things) and on the other side lies the technique, action, and skill (the actual doing, the physical)
One side contains dreams, vision, goals, attitude, and enthusiasm (functions mostly in your head by what you think and feel)
The other side concerns what you actually do and this is the work and the physical
Some people will overdose on one side, focusing on techniques, but avoiding the work that must be done. 90% is the why, but 10% is the work and it is very crucial.
Successful people say they're gonna do it, they don't make any excuses or let any circumstances phase them. Successful people don't know how at first but they don't care because they have an enduring belief that “if i start, it will all work out”.
The how will come with discipline, diligence, persistence, continuous learning, being teachable, and respecting the rights of others.
The thought process is usually more important than the how because it is the underlying foundation.
There are four phases in learning - unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence
As successful beings, we make a conscious effort to apply these principles, if I choose not to apply these principles, I cannot obtain the results I desire.
To increase the likelihood of success, I will need to have a definitive and a specific purpose that is clearly defined (goal, dream) -
Successful people are goal oriented (definitive aim is key)
diversification comes later (attention is not spread amongst projects) - comment? narrow in scope so you can put all focus to achieve that goal
The Law of Success in 16 Lessons - Napoleon Hill
It is critical to outline a definitive purpose (clearly defined dream) and have a burning desire for its achievement (an obsession) with limitless focus. Apply it with your mind
The Strangest Secret - Earl Nightingale
You become what you think about.
You become what your primary dominant thoughts are, law of attraction
These traits exist among all humans, its how you respond (channel these thoughts and emotions towards a greater purpose)
good feelings and bad feelings
good thoughts and bad thoughts
The better you feel, the more focused you are.
Emotional guidance system to recharge your thoughts - wait a minute i'm not thinking properly, focus on your objective, lower that objective to something you
can get aligned with to feel good about yourself
Leaders are always readers
5 years from now - people you meet and books you read will form you
reread your books
listen to tapes, listen to information on cds or some time of audio about success motivation attitude and regularity is very important it needs to be constant development
replace the way you have been thinking with something else - daily
i train my mind and train it everyday
successful people are always attending seminars, experiential event with like minded people - the experiences you have that change you
these evolve thought and action
(see if you can find webinars or live courses - my solution)
save 10%
the richest man in the world
successful people save
to achieve wealth you must live below your means
pay yourself first
then pay a minimum of 10% to savings
get out of debt - reduce your debt load, reduce interest load, reduce payments (really focus, is usually the first obstacle)
successful people have good priority management because you cannot manage time.
the priority manager - manage priorities and get complete control of your time, very vital to achieving wealth creation
associate with winners - successful people associate with likeminded people
thought process and energy rubs off - must be in the presence of the successful people
WORK - you can work hard, you can work smart
the work is really the thought process, not as much the physical doing
to them they never call it work, do what you love, every successful does not work they put their hours into something useful
understand work - put in the time, must make sure you are lined up, doing something you love to create spectatular results
develop a pleasing personality (be delightful, go back in the time to see where they started) and likeable
how to win friends and influence people and related books
successful people are good communicators must develop skills to communicate thoughts and ideas, persuasive, they negotiate well, and they are able to sell ideas (not to just be a salesman)
improve your credit score - stop using other people's money
reduce taxes - to increase cashflow to create wealth
reduce the amount of insurance premiums you pay
use corporations to reduce taxes, get access to more credit, protect your assets - must do this to create wealth, successful people fo this
OMP - other people's money, if you want to be successful you need other peoples' money. utlizze credit, utilitze other people money to create wealth and opportunities
you must increase your income to acquire waelth, you have to reduce expenses an increase income as basic principles to develop wealth
easiest way are through tax savings and insurance savings and reduce your debts and payment interest fees
one way is investing in real estate (maybe a few years down the line for me maybe)
maybe investing in stocks or equities a portion of the income, also trading in stocks (difference between investing and trading)
use a multi level marketing company maybe, network marketing may not be the best but it can still be learned and used to help my front
they work... if you work them
you have to start changing and listening to your recordings over and over again
