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.
