How to Turn Nothing into Something by Jim Rohn
Have you ever wondered how to turn nothing into something?
First, in order to turn nothing into something, you've got to start with some
ideas and imagination. Now, it might be hard to call ideas and imagination
nothing; but how tangible are those ideas? That is a bit of a mystery. I don't
believe that ideas that can be turned into a hotel, ideas that can be turned
into an enterprise, ideas that can be turned into a new vaccine or ideas that
can be turned into some miracle product, should be called nothing. But tangibly,
you have nothing. Interesting! Think of it, ideas that become so powerful in
your mind and in your consciousness that they seem real to you even before they
become tangible. Imagination that is so strong, you can actually see it.
When I built my first home for my family in Idaho all those years ago, before I
started construction, I would take my friends and associates out to the vacant
property and give them a tour of the house. Is that possible? Is it possible to
take someone on a tour through an imaginary house? And the answer is, "Yes, of
course." "Here is the 3 car garage," I used to say, and my friends would look
and say, "Yes, this garage will hold 3 cars." I could really make it "live". I
would take them on a tour throughout the house… "Here is the fireplace, and
look, this side is brick and the other side is stone." I could make it so real…
"Follow me through the rest of the house. Take a look through the picture window
here in the kitchen, isn't the view great?" One day, I made the house so real
that one of my friends bumped his elbow on the fireplace. I mean, it was that
real.
So, the first step of turning nothing into something is to imagine the
possibilities. Imagine ALL of the possibilities. One of the reasons for
seminars, sermons, lyrics from songs and testimonials of others is to give us an
idea of the possibilities; to help us imagine and to see the potential.
Now here is the second step for turning nothing into something, you must BELIEVE
that what you imagine IS possible for you. Testimonials like, "If I can do it,
you can do it" often become a support to our belief. And we start believing.
First we imagine it's possible. Second, we start to believe that what's possible
is possible for us.
We might also believe because of our own testimonial. Here is what your
testimonial might say, "If I did it once, I can do it again. If it happened for
me before, it could very well happen again." So we believe not only the
testimonials of others who say, "If I can do it, you can do it. If I can change,
you can change. If I can start with nothing, you can start with nothing. If I
can turn it all around, you can turn it all around." Then we also have the
support of our own testimonial, if we've accomplished something before. "If we
did it once, we can do it again. If we did it last year, we can do it this
year." So those two things together are very powerful. Now, we do not have
actual substance yet, although it is very close.
Again, step one is to imagine the possibilities. Step two is to imagine that
what is possible is possible for you. Here is what we call step two - faith to
believe. In fact, one writer said this, "Faith is substance." An interesting
word: "substance", the powerful ability to believe in the possibilities that are
possible for you. If you have faith to believe… that faith is substance,
substance meaning "a piece of the real." Now it's not "the real", it's not this
podium, but it is so powerful that it is very close to being real and so the
writer said, "The faith is a piece of, the substance of". He then goes on to
call it evidence, substance and evidence. It is difficult to call substance and
evidence "nothing". It is nothing in the sense that it cannot be seen except
with the inner eye. You can't get a hold of it because it isn't YET tangible.
But it is possible to turn nothing, especially ideas and imaginations, into
something if you believe that it is now possible for you. That substance and
evidence becomes so powerful that it can now be turned into reality.
So the first step is to imagine what is possible, the second is to have the
faith to believe that what is possible is possible for you. And now the third
step is to that you go to work to make it real. You go to work to make it a
hotel. You go to work to make it an enterprise. You go to work and make it good
health. You go to work and make it an association. You go to work and make it a
good marriage. You go to work and make it a movement; you make it tangible. You
make it viable. You breathe life into it and then you construct it. That is such
a unique and powerful ability for all of us human beings. Put this to work and
start the miracle process today!

Well over 20 years ago, Jim Rohn revealed some of the most potent success
principles known to man in a 2 day leadership weekend seminar. This presentation
was recorded on video tapes, but in the late 1980's they disappeared. They have
now been recovered and contain some of the most powerful success principles ever
shared. In those tapes, Jim Rohn shared the secrets that helped him achieve
millionaire status by the age of 30. To view some sample clips from this amazing
event and also learn more about this lost footage go to:

"Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win." -- Jonathan Kozel
"No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves." -- Dwight Eisenhower
"It seems to me that it's actually harder to invent excuses than it is to be
successful." -- Jeffrey Gitomer
"Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though
checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither
enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows
not victory, nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt
WISDOM
"Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition, there
is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes." -- George
Soros
"A man should never be ashamed to own that he is wrong, which is but saying in
other words that he is wiser today than he was yesterday." -- Alexander Pope
"Wisdom is the lesson learned, applied." -- Rick Beneteau
"Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself." -- Oprah
Winfrey
WORDS/VOCABULARY
"Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited
vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future." -- Jim
Rohn
"Refuse to criticize, condemn, or complain. Instead, think and talk only about
the things you really want." -- Brian Tracy

From Our Sponsor:
In as little as 10
minutes a day, you can learn a new language!
The "EasyLearn" method is Easier and More Fun than any other language learning
program--GUARANTEED!
Yes, learning a language can be fun, and it can be easy when you follow the
EasyLearn method. Unfortunately, many people I talk with have shattered dreams
about learning another language. Some have had classes that were long,
monotonous, and expensive, and they never met at convenient times.
Others have used tape programs from bookstores with only one or two CDs, and
they provided little more than a guide.
Languages bring a new dimension to life. Your brain functions differently. New
ideas easily pop into your head. You become a more agile, fluid thinker with
benefits spilling throughout your life.
As the world becomes smaller, other countries are not as remote as they seemed
just 10 years ago. And, with world travel easier and less expensive than ever,
now is the time to explore a new language.
In just a month or two, you will have enough language to comfortably travel in
another country.
Grab 10 minutes first thing in the morning, on your lunch break at work,
or after dinner in the evening. It may be in your car driving to work or while
you are fixing dinner or taking a bath. Twenty minutes could be on the
Stairmaster at the club, relaxing in the backyard, or digging in the garden.
Plus Super Bonus: All three languages (Spanish, French,
and German programs) all for the price of one.
Ideal for the beginner and someone wanting a refresher.
Plus in addition to three languages for the price of one, the first 100 to order
receive an additional discount!!

3. Your Achievement Tips -
What You Say is What You Get... by Vic Johnson
"Thoughts, words, and acts are seeds sown, and, by the inviolable law of things,
they produce after their kind." - Above Life's Turmoil
We focus a lot on how powerful our thoughts and actions are and in so doing, we
overlook one of the most powerful killers of dreams --- our words.
In fact, many of the dream-killer words we use, we do so in casual conversation
with not much thought of what we're really saying. At one point in my life, when
I had a few more challenges than normal, I got into a very bad habit of using
this reply when asked how I was doing, "Oh, you know, when it rains, it pours."
I'm not sure why I used that reply (maybe I was looking for some sympathy), but
I know the results were devastating. Not only did it keep raining, it began to
storm!
In the Northern Hemisphere we're coming to a season when colds and the flu
usually increase. Would you think I've gone off my rocker if I said we speak
some of those maladies into existence? Before you decide, read this article
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14309026/?GT1=8404 Placebo's power goes beyond the mind)
on the medical evidence of the power of belief, and then understand that when we
speak something we give power to it --- we increase our belief in something when
we speak it.
So when someone asks you how you're doing and you reply, "I think I'm coming
down with something," you're actually contributing to the illness you end up
with. And the same goes for the other words that people speak like, "I don't
ever have any money," "I'm always so tired," "I've got the worst luck," and on
and on.
What words are you speaking? Stop and listen to yourself, whether it's your self
talk or your words to others. Can you see the connection between what you're
saying and the life you're experiencing?
Regardless of the religious faith, the spoken word is acknowledged as having
great power. Hindu writings tell of yogis that have used mantras to light fires,
materialize physical objects like food and even influence the outcome of
battles. In the Christian Bible, we find these words in the Gospel of Mark,
"those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith."
And that's worth thinking about.
Has Procrastination Become a Habit? Are you paralyzed by fear that's keeping you
from going after what you want? Do you have trouble staying focused on a goal?
Are you ready for a personal breakthrough? Want some help? This brand new CD
album will 'knock your socks off!' To learn more go today to

4. We found the videos...
Well over 20 years
ago, Jim Rohn revealed some of the most potent success
principles known to man in a 2 day leadership weekend
seminar. This presentation was recorded on video tapes
and was meant to be used as a reference for the
attendees of the workshop; just in case they needed a
refresher course. But in the late 1980's they
disappeared.
They have now been recovered
and contain some of the most powerful success principles
ever shared. In these tapes, Jim Rohn
shares the secrets that helped him achieve millionaire
status by the age of 30.
What Jim Rohn revealed on the videos also became
the foundation
of the many principles shared by world-class personal
development gurus today, and his thoughts and ideas
continue to be quoted (word-for-word) even after all
these years!

your presentation. There are probably about a thousand facts about an
automobile, but you don't need them all to make a decision. About a half dozen
will do." Jim Rohn
