"Providing Training, Tips and Lessons on Network Marketing"
Ten Simple Words
by Jim Rohn
My first mentor, Mr. Shoaff—over a five-year period of time before he
died—taught me some extraordinarily simple things...
Mr. Shoaff only went through the 9th grade. He never finished high
school...never went to college...and never went to a university. So he put his
experiences and ideas into very simple language, which, I think for me—a farm
boy from the state of Idaho—was so important.
When I would say, "This is all the company pays." Mr. Shoaff would say, "No,
that is all they pay YOU." I thought, "That is a new to look at it." I told him
things cost too much. But he said, "No, you can't afford them." Well, that was a
new concept for me. And he promised that if I would
improve, then I would qualify for more
money. So I learned that we don't need to
work on the company, we need to work on
ourselves.
If his advice to me had been technical, I would have missed it. If it had been
mystic, I would have backed away. But it was just basic, blunt "a-b-c" familiar
stuff that I hadn't thought of before. For me it was the beginning of what he
called "personal development."
Mr. Shoaff also taught me that life puts some of the more valuable things on the
high shelf so that you can't get to them until you
qualify. If you want the
things on the high shelf, you must stand on the
books you read. With every book you
read,
you get to stand a little higher.
Mr. Shoaff only needed to use ten simple words to forever shifted my thinking
when he said, "Success is something you attract by the person you become." That
phrase changed my life. It's true! Success is not to be pursued... Success is to
be attracted by the person you become.
Therefore, if you want to do something remarkable, put your energy into becoming
a better you—the best you.
Learn the skills.
Practice the skills. Apply the skills.
These simple strategies and ideas helped change my life, forever, for the
better. Thank you, once again, Mr. Shoaff.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
