Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better by Benjie Malinao


One of my friends introduced me to Jim Rohn when I was still in college saying: “If you really want to change your life, read Jim Rohn”. I am thankful to my friend for introducing me to Jim Rohn.
When I tried to find a few books by Jim Rohn, I came across this really interesting book: The Five Major Pieces to the Life puzzle.
Jim Rohn has been termed as America’s foremost business philosopher. By age 25 (according to his accounts), he was an ordinary, average middle class person like any middle-class family and was in debt, unable to see a way that would lead to his personal ambitions.
Around this time, he was introduced to John Earl Shoaff, an entrepreneur who impressed Rohn with his wealth, business accomplishments, charisma and life philosophy. Rohn joined Shoaff’s direct sales organization, and began a process of personal development that culminated in his becoming a millionaire by age 31.
Jim Rohn says: Change comes from one of two sources:
1. Desperation or
2. Inspiration
We change ourselves when our circumstances go out of our control. Its the sense of deprivation which drives us to look for new solutions.
Alternatively, we change when we are inspired: A song can inspire us, a quote can inspire us or reading something can inspire us. The story of some one who has succeeded in life or has become millionaire out of nothing may inspire us.
Jim Rohn suggests that every one cannot master every aspect of life but there are few basics – there are only a few things in life that really make some difference. if some person masters those ‘basics’, he or she can live happy and successful life.
What are those five missing pieces of life puzzle? We will go through those in days to come.
Here is a really interesting, inspirational and motivating video from Jim Rohn:
Here are a few quotable quotes from Jim Rohn - Courtesy Wikipedia:
“Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.”
“Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it.”
“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”
“The most important question to ask in a job is not what am I getting but what am I becoming.”
Happy reading.

The Millionaire Booklet by Grant Gardon

This great book by Grant Cardone summarizes the steps that you should take in order to achieve financial success. Below I outlined the main points that I took from this book. As with any summary, I believe it should be used as a refresher, as a list of guiding points that help remember the contents of the book. To fully understand and apply the following points, it is highly recommended to actually read the book. It does not replace the actual experience of reading the book, nor is it intended to. You can purchase “The Millionaire Booklet” (Audible/Hardcover)  here . or you can grab it for free by visiting this link  https://m.me/BenjieMalino Getting rich is about offense, not defense. Step 1.

Obstacles are the Stepping Stones of Successby by Harvey Mackay

A man was walking in the park one day when he came upon a cocoon with a small opening. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It looked like it had gotten as far as it could, so the man decided to help the butterfly. He used his pocketknife and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to emerge was natural...
