I hope you find it beneficial! Continue reading "Joel Comm's Thoughts on MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing)" » February 11, 2007What the Bleep Do We KnowI love this movie. I have seen it several times, and it really summarizes what I have generally accepted in my life to be true. Take a look and watch it for yourself. Please feel free to leave your comments below. What The Bleep Do We Know May 28, 2006Leverage - What is LeverageI heard this on a call tonight, and it really stuck with me. "Leverage: Getting more results, from the same activities because of the things you learn, and the tools you learn to employ, in the process." Quoted by Patrick Shaw January 23, 2006Life, as a series of giftsThis morning, right before I woke up with the alarm for a Monday morning mastermind meeting, I was having a dream. In my dream, my alarm went off. So I shut off the alarm, got up, and went into the office, which is across the hall from my bedroom (which was pretty accurate in my dream). As I walked into the office, I noticed that there were presents all around me. It was so amazing! There were presents of of all shapes and sizes, most of them being in gift bags of all colors and sizes. I realized that my office was larger (than it actually is), and the entire room was actually filled with presents. As I turned to go back into the bedroom to tell Carrie, I realized that there were presents all around me. Everywhere I looked, there were presents.

In fact, I really don't have any opinion on Eminem, because I have never met him. But, he has a song that I have heard frequently... and I like the song, but I got to thinking about the lyrics, and I don't think I agree with the message at all. It goes like this: "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you better never let it go. You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime." And Eminem is, of course, not the only one promoting this kind of a philosophy. Our entire American society is based around the idea that you have to pay attention, because you may miss the opportunity of a lifetime.

Here are some of my favorite excerpts. Continue reading "More Jim Rohn" » November 09, 2005Thoughts on and from Jim RohnIt's amazing to me. I can't imagine anyone going through life, an entire lifetime, and not hearing Jim Rohn. I've linked to his site above, but I got this audio series from a business associate last night, and I am just so totally blown away by it. It's called "Take Charge of Your Life - The Winner's Seminar" (which, admittedly, is a less-than-adequate title for what is a great series. Saying that gives it a VERY Stuart Smalley feel). I can not imagine not getting this training. Now Mr. Rohn has no idea I exist, but his words have already impacted my life in a huge amazing way, and that was before I started listening to this audio series. Just totally amazing. Here's some excerpts from the first two CD's...
Now's the time to fix the next ten years. Are you reading the books that are going to get you where you want to be in the next 5 years? You can't succeed by yourself. Make rest a necessity, not an objective. The goal of life: Lifestyle is figuring ways to live uniquely. Happiness is not an accident, it's an art. Being successful is not doing extraordinary things. It's doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. When what you say is the tip of the iceberg of what you know, that's when communication becomes powerful Link: Continue reading "Thoughts on and from Jim Rohn" » |
