The Art of Exceptional Living

My mentor, when I was 25 years old, dropped a phrase on me that changed my life forever when he said, “Profits are better than wages. Wages will make you a living. Profits can make you a fortune.” You know it is a bit difficult to get rich on wages, but anybody can get rich on profits. Profits change your whole attitude, even if you start part time—whether it’s part time on your entrepreneurial business, network marketing company or service business. It can be a landscape business in the summer or hanging Christmas lights in the winter. It can be training, consulting or tutoring. It can be your hobby, such as painting, writing, crafts, woodworking, computers or cooking. But once you start investing even part-time effort into your own business, you will find how much more exciting it is to get up in the morning and go to work on your fortune, even if you’re only spending a few hours a week doing it. How empowering it is to be able to go to work on your fortune every da

One of the first  things successful people realize is the old adage, "if it is to be, it is  up to me." That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is  up to you. This doesn't mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you  take responsibility for your life and your career. Too many people today  look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get  it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure  they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait,  figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is  too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret. This isn't true for  you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up  to you. The fact is that  nobody else is going to do it for you “you must do it yourself. Now, some people may  say, "Jim, that's a lot of re

Vitamins for the Mind  by  Jim Rohn Enterprise Human beings have the remarkable ability to turn nothing into something. They can turn weeds into gardens and pennies into fortunes. Enterprise is better than ease. Showing a profit means touching something and leaving it better than you found it. Enterprise is the hope of our future. Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune. We all know a variety of ways to make a living. What's even more fascinating is figuring out ways to make a fortune.  

One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the unquenchable desire to have dreams of a better life, and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. Think of it: We can look deep within our hearts and dream of a better situation for ourselves and our families; dream of better financial lives and better emotional or physical lives; certainly dream of better spiritual lives. But what makes this even more powerful is that we have also been given the ability to not only dream but to pursue those dreams and not only to pursue them, but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies (setting goals) to achieve those dreams. Powerful! What are your dreams and goals? This isn't what you already have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever really sat down and thought through your life values and decided what you really want? Have you ever taken the time to truly reflect, to listen quietly to your heart, to see what dreams live wi

One of the great fortunes of my life was to be member of Network Marketing Company when I was 4th year to 5th college.It  gave me many ideas that enabled me to make small daily adjustments in my philosophy and activities. Those daily changes, some very slight, but very important, soon added up to weighty sums. And then I met Mr. Jim Rohn although he's already dead , but  I can read his  books.
