Jim Rohn on Personal Development
You've got pennies in your pocket, you've got nothing in the bank. The creditors are calling. You're behind on your promises. Here is how that occurs: You've attracted these things to you because of the person you've become.
If you change, everything will change for you. Change what's on the inside.
To have more, you must become more.
Let's talk about money. It's easy to measure.
We get paid for bringing value to the market place. Market place is also described as reality. It takes time to bring value to the market place. We don't get paid for time. Mistakenly, man says he gets paid $20 an hour. You get paid for the value you put into the time. So, is it possible to become twice as valuable and earn twice as much as you do now? Is it possible to become three times more valuable and earn three times as much as you do now. All you have to do to earn more in the same time is simply, become more valuable.
The more valuable you become the more you earn. So how do you get more money? go on strike? major problem. You can't get rich by demand. Why not just become more valuable rather than wait? Become more valuable. Learn to work harder on yourself than on your job. If you work hard at your job, you'll make a living. If you work hard on yourself, you'll make a fortune.
You've got to have more than one skill. I started to learn these skills myself in Idaho. I used to know how to milk cows. The only problem is it didn't pay very well. Here is the first skill, part-time. I learned sales. I learned how to make a presentation. This little part time job helped me multiply my income. Now I have two skills, milking cows and finding customers. My next skill was finding good people. When I learned this skill; finding good people for my little enterprise, my income really started to increase. Now I have three skills. I know how to milk a cow, find customers, and find good people. I'm on my way. Here is the next one that paid me good money. that was organizing, that's getting people to work together. Big challenge, but they pay extraordinary money. Here is the next one that really increased my income and that's; promotion and recognition. Rewarding people for small steps of progress. I mastered this one. Here is the philosophy, be so busy giving other people recognition, you really don't need it for yourself. Here is the next one, communication. Words can work miracles.
1. Training: showing how the job or business works. Pays big money
2. Teaching; teaching people how life works, how to set goals, how to become a leader, manager, entrepreneur, leader, how to step up to higher opportunity. This pays extraordinary money.
This one pays the best; learning how to inspire. Helping people see themselves better than they are.
We get paid for bringing value to the market place. The market place is the people. Value has two parts 1) the product or service or 2) the value you become, as in an entrepreneur, teacher, leader, manager. The value you become pays much more than what you bring. Go to work on yourself, harder than you work on your job. If you work hard on your job you make a living. If you work on yourself, you'll make a fortune.
Success is not something you pursue, it's something you attract.
