- (Excepted from the book The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle by Jim Rohn)Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices.

- Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest. We can talk about sales growth, profit growth, asset growth, but all of this probably will not happen without personal growth. It's really the open door to it all. In fact I'd like to have you memorize a most important phrase. Here it is, "The major key to your better future is YOU."Let me r...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The subtlety of language
- I have found that sometimes the subtle difference in our attitude, which of course can make a major difference in our future, can be as simple as the language we use. The difference in even how you talk to yourself or others. Consciously making a decision to quit saying what you don't want and to start saying what you do want. I call that faith. Believing the best, hoping for the best and moving t...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Reaping a multiple reward
- For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. That's one of life's great arrangements. In fact, it's an extension of the Biblical law that says that if you sow well, you will reap well.Here's a unique part of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Not only does it suggest that we'll all reap what we've sown, it also suggests that we'll reap much more. Life is full of laws that both gove...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The secret to success in 2004 (or any year)
- Do you want to achieve your most important goals in 2004? In my opinion it gets down to two simple words, "easy" and "neglect".People often ask me how I became successful at the early age of 31, while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: During that 6-year period of time (age 25 to 31), the things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy...

- We were at some friend's house the other day and the wife mentioned some other acquaintances of ours."It sure is too bad, all the bad luck they have," she said.My first thought was, "Bad habits, not bad luck."My second thought was, "Or is it bad choices?"You see, there is a difference. What we many times call bad luck is merely bad choices....

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Success showdowns
- I confess, I love westerns. There is nothing like those "Showdown" scenes where the film is shot from down low and you see those boots moving slowly, step by step until they come to a stop just 100 feet from the other guy. Tumble weed blows by. The wind stirs the dust. The camera moves up and you see fingers twitching, getting ready to draw. You know that it is only a few moments until t...

But with so many people trying to get to the top, how come so many people aren't moving up? I think there are some fundamental reasons why. Reasons that can be addressed and changed!What are some t...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The secret to intense focus by
- One of the common elements you see in almost all successful people is focus. They saw what they wanted to achieve and they focused in on it like a laser. Then, when they become famous and we, the common folk, know their name, we are amazed at the focus they have.Focus will set two people apart who have equal skills.What I am about to say may appear to be blasphemous to some: Tiger Wo...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Don?t stop asking so many questions
- A few weeks ago I took my boy on a trip that we make together every year. We left the house at 6 am on Monday and got home at 9 pm on Thursday. That is just 87 hours. However, that is 84,293 questions!I mean, ten-year-old kids can ask questions! They are question machines! It was a virtual question-palooza! He wanted to know why we got up so early, why we chose that airline, when we would g...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Natural laws of success
- Jim Rohn wrote in his book The Five Major Pieces To The Life Puzzle, it is by an intricate design of nature that success is a condition that must be attracted and not pursued. We achieve rewards and we make progress not by our intense pursuits, but by what we become, for it is what we are that finally determines the result we attract. "To have more we must first become more" is the essence of his ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Sentenced to success
- I once heard a speaker use the statement, "I have been sentenced to success!" I heard that almost twenty years ago, yet it still sticks in my head.Imagine that. What if we had been given a life sentence to serve, say 75 years, and the sentence was to do time in a place called "Success"? The truth is that we have.Let me back up. We have been given a life sentence. But, unlike a senten...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The dna of top achievers
- Of course by now we are all becoming aware of DNA. It is the source code that determines who we are. When we look at DNA we can see what a person will look like, what diseases they may come down with, etc. This has been a tremendous breakthrough for scientists and will continue to be so for some time, I think.This got me to thinking about what makes up those who are top achievers. Is there ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Dont let conflict keep you from success
- Anytime you are making ground and moving toward success, there will inevitably be the opportunity for conflict. That is just a fact of life. You put two people or more in a group and there is potential for conflict - and conflict, improperly handled, can destroy your ability to continue on and achieve your goals.This is true in many areas of life, from the boardroom to the schoolroom. It ca...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Are you in it - to win it?
- Have you ever heard this? "It isn't whether you win or lose. It is how you play the game." I am sure you have. But do you know who said it? Some guy who came in second place!You see, I have a problem with that statement. It presupposes, or at least strongly suggests that winning and playing the game "right" are mutually exclusive propositions. Perhaps we ought to have this as our goal as we...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - A friends evaluation
- Evaluations are a tremendous resource to help us know where we have been and how to get where we want to be. One very overlooked person who would give us a very insightful evaluation is our friend. Our friend? Yes! Think about it: They know you better than anyone. They see you in the greatest amount of diversity. They know about all areas of your life. They could possibly give you the best evaluat...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Choice: privilege, opportunity and responsibility
- One of my absolute favorite quotes is from Dwight D. Eisenhower. If you have been a subscriber for long you may have heard me use it before. Eisenhower said that, "The history of free men is never written by chance, but by choice - their choice."What a powerful truth. We can, and do, write our own history. That is, when our life is nearing the end, we can look back and see that the history ...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Vacation your way to success!
- All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy they say. It also makes you unsuccessful. The fact is that a well placed vacation can do wonders for every area of your life.

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - The best test
- I spoke to a group of salespeople in Kansas City last week as they kicked off their new team. It was exciting to see them get excited about making a difference through their work.The topic they assigned me was "Simply the Best." So as I prepared, I asked myself, "What characteristics would help someone pass the "Best" test? That is, what are the characteristics of those who become the "best...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - Measuring success
- As I have worked with people over the years I have seen an amazing thing. People often get frustrated because they aren't achieving "success." There are lots of possible reasons for this but one reason I have found that sticks out is that many people allow their definition of "Success" to be driven by someone or something else.Instead, we ought to be looking at our own, skills, opportunitie...

- 2007-11-13 22:16:19 - What is success?
- A company entitled "Made for Success" begs the question: Just what is success? So, join me as I wax philosophical and pursue this question in this brief article.Success has been an elusive term since the beginning of time. For ages, men and women have pursued that which would make them happy and fulfilled. At the same time they have tried to determine that which would make them feel as thou...
