Three Key Words to Remember: Weigh, Count and Measure by Jim Rohn

Three key words to remember: weigh, count and measure. Now why weigh, count and measure? To see what your results are from your activity, your attitude and your philosophy. If you find that the results are not to your liking there are only three places to look. Your philosophy needs to be fine-tuned; your attitude needs to be strengthened or your disciplines need extra skill. But that's it.  Activity, attitude and philosophy create results.

Now on results I teach that life expects you to make measurable progress in reasonable time. But, you must be reasonable with time. You can't say to someone every five minutes, how are you doing now? That's too soon to ask for a count. Guy says, "I haven't left the building yet, give me a break!" Now you can't wait five years - that's too long. Too many things can go wrong waiting too long for a count to see how you're doing.

Here are some good time frames:  

Number one - at the end of the day. You can't let more than a day go by without looking at some things and making progress. New Testament says - if you are angry, try to solve it before the sun goes down. Don't carry anger for another day.  It may be too heavy to carry. If you try to carry it for a week, it may drop you to your knees. So some things you must get done in a day.

Here's the next one - a week. We ask for an accounting of the week so we can issue the pay. And whatever you've got coming that's what you get; when the week is over. Now in business there are two things to check in the course of the week. Your activity count and your productivity count. Because activity leads to productivity we need to count both to see how we're doing.

My mentor taught me that success is a numbers game and very early he started asking me my numbers. He asked, "How many books have you read in the last ninety days?" I said, "Zero"; he said, "Not a good number." He said, "How many classes have you attended in the last six months to improve your skills?" And I said, "Zero." He said, "Not a good number." Then he said, "In the last six years that you've been working, how much money have you saved and invested?" I said, "Zero" and he said, "Not a good number." Then here's what he said, "Mr. Rohn, if these numbers don't change your life won't change. But" he said, "If you'll start improving these numbers then perhaps you'll start to see everything change for you."

Success and results are a numbers game. John joins this little sales company. He's supposed to make 10 calls the first week just to get acquainted with the territory. So on Friday we call him in and say what? "How many calls?" He says, "Well."  You say, "John, 'well' won't fit in the little box here. I need a number." Now he starts with a story. And you say, "John, the reason I made this little box so small is so a story won't fit. All I need is a number because if you give us the number we're so brilliant around here we could guess the story." It's the numbers that count. Making measurable progress in reasonable time.

Here's the best accounting. The accounting you make of yourself. Don't wait for the government to do it, don't wait for the company to do it. But you've got to add up some of your own numbers and ask, "Am I making the progress I want and will it take me where I want to go now and in the future?" You be the judge!

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

3. Your Achievement Tips

Set Up a Learning Resource at Home and Your Place of Business with Both Personal and Professional Development Materials by Denis Waitley

Every office conference, lunch, exercise, and recreation room should be filled with personal enrichment materials including videos, audios, books, magazines, newsletters, software, TV and internet programming.

Convert a special area of your home into a learning center, especially if you have children. The trend globally is to combine a coffee house like Starbucks, with bookstores like Barnes and Noble, to create a relaxing learning environment. In the twenty-first century, gaining knowledge will blend into our lives as part of our leisure time. There are several ways to create more of an ongoing learning environment at your place of business. Many companies are providing TV and internet access to personal development programming, asking employees to volunteer to read a specific trade or business magazine and clip or scan articles relevant to the organization. Regular e-mail dispersals are also popular.

In today's fast-forward, knowledge-based world, if you're not moving ahead you are falling behind.

Action Idea: Make two files in your computer: one for personal development and one for professional development. Download MP3 files, articles and e-mails that educate and inspire you in these files. You also can scan articles from magazines into these files. Look at these files at least once per week.

Also subscribe to internet based or TV based personal development programming, purchase CDs, DVDs and books for your personal and professional development library.

4. Learn a new language this summer!

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 for the price of one (Spanish, French, and German programs - all for the price of one).

Ideal for the beginner and someone wanting a refresher.

EasyLearn Languages features:

- Accelerated learning methods to help the whole brain absorb a new language faster and more completely than through conventional programs
- Crisp and clear pronunciation
- 12 fun and relaxing adventures for each language
- An easy-to-follow playbook
- No memorization exercises
- A pleasant, useful, and relaxing supplement to nearly any language learning

EasyLearn Languages helps you:

- Effortlessly learn a base for travel
- Build a useful vocabulary of 800 words
- Enhance language classes and other learning experiences
- Understand the texture and feeling of other cultures
- Revitalize language you may have learned previously
- Begin to think in your new language

Today you don't have to decide which language to buy. You get them all. Although you might be interested in Spanish today, French will catch your fancy tomorrow. Languages can be addictive. A fun hobby. And, when you see the similarities between languages, they are even easier to learn. Lastly, don't be stingy, share your CDs with friends and family!

Plus in addition to three languages for the price of one, the first 100 to order receive an additional discount!!
