SEVEN FUNDAMENTALS FOR WEALTH AND HAPPINESS BY JIM ROHN
1) GOALS
A CONSISTENT
PLAN FOR SETTING, REARRANGING, EVALUATING, AND STRENGTHENING THE PURPOSE OF
YOUR GOALS.
YOU DON'T
WIND UP IN GOOD PLACES BY ACCIDENT.
THERE ARE
TWO WAYS TO FACE THE FUTURE. WITH
APPREHENSION OR WITH ANTICIPATION.
DESIGNING
PURPOSE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS DESIGNING OBJECT.
PURPOSE IS
MORE IMPORTANT THAN OBJECT.
DID YOU
ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF YOUR LAST FIVE YEARS?
NOW IS THE
TIME TO FIX THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. THE
FIVE YEARS WILL SURELY PASS.
WHERE WILL YOU BE?
2)
A DETAILED MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR YOUR PRESENT RESOURCES.
THE KEY TO
WEALTH IS NOT WHAT YOU EARN BUT WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU EARN.
WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
HOW TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT FROM THE
RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON.
LEARN TO LIVE ON 70% OF YOUR NET INCOME AFTER
TAXES.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE REMAINING 30%?
TITHE 10%
PAY LAST 20%
TO RETIRE DEBT.
ONCE DEBTS
ARE PAID, INVEST 10%.
USE 10% AS
CAPITAL YOU MANAGE YOURSELF (START A
SIDE BUSINESS - DO A LITTLE BUYING AND SELLING).
3) HAVE A DETAILED PLAN FOR THE USE
OF YOUR TIME.
A GAME PLAN.
MAKE SURE
IT’S WRITTEN.
A 90 DAY
WRITTEN PLAN.
OPERATE FROM
DOCUMENTS NOT FROM THOUGHT.
THE DEATH OF
A SALESPERSON IS TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND SAY WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
TODAY?
HAVE AN ACTION PLAN. A GET GOING PLAN.
KNOWLEDGE IS
NOT THE WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
KNOWLEDGE
APPLIED IS THE WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
DON'T BE AN ACCUMULATOR.
WEALTH = 20% SKILL + 80%
STRATEGY
YOU'VE GOT TO PLOT AND SCHEME TO GET THE MOST
OUT OF LIFE.
A DETAILED PLAN BRINGS ABOUT DISCIPLINE.
4) A
CONSISTANT PLAN FOR THE GATHERING OF KNOWLEDGE.
YOU MUST DELIBERATELY SEARCH FOR IDEAS THAT
WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
YOUR WRITTEN
PLAN MUST CONTAIN A CONSISTANT SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE.
GO TO THE
BOOKSTORE.
GO TO THE LIBRARY (THE SEATS
ARE FREE.)
SUCCESS AND
FAILURE IS CONSISTANTLY DEBATING.
"WILL HE GO INTO THE LIBRARY?"
FAILURE "NO, HE'LL DRIVE ON
BY." SUCCESS "YES, HE WILL GO
IN."
YOU MUST SEARCH AND LOOK FOR IDEAS. RARELY DOES A GOOD IDEA INTERRUPT YOU.
YOU HAVE TO
GO TO CHURCH, CLASSES, BOOKS, SEMINARS AND LECTURES.
YOU MUST LEARN FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. LEARN FROM THE DAY. BE LIKE A SPONGE.
REFLECT ON IT, WHEN THE DAY IS OVER.
EXPERIENCE IS COMMODOTY, VALUE, AND
CURRENCY.
"BOTH
SUCCESS AND FAILURE COMES FROM SMALL LIFE EXPERIENCES. IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT AND
WHAT YOU DID ABOUT IT." THINK AND
GROW RICH.
DON'T HAVE
CASUAL CONVERSATIONS. DON'T BE CASUAL ABOUT THE DAY.
CASUALNESS
BRINGS CASUALTIES.
ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY AND PERSONALLY. YOU MUST BE INTENSE ABOUT THE DAY.
ABOUT BOTH THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES.
KEEP A JOURNAL. ESTABLISH A LIBRARY.
5) A CONSTANT ASSOCIATION WITH PEOPLE
WHO HAVE A COMMON INTEREST IN PROGRESS SUCCESS, IDEAS AND PHILOSOPHY.
KEY PHRASE FOR THE DAY: NEVER MISTAKE THE POWER OF INFLUENCE.
IF YOU WANT
TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU'VE GOT TO GET AROUND THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
WHERE DO YOU
GO WEEKLY FOR YOUR INTELLECTUAL FEAST?
WHERE YOU
LIVE AND WHO YOU'RE AROUND DOES MATTER.
MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR ASSOCIATION OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN IDEAS AND PROGRESS AND
PHILOSOPHY AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE THINKING AND ALL OF THE SPIRITUAL
APPLICATIONS OF OUR LIFE.
MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THAT TYPE OF INFLUENCE. BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL WIND UP WHERE
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE, WEARING WHAT
DON'T WANT TO WEAR, DRIVING WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DRIVE AND MAYBE DOING WHAT
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.
6) A CONSISTANT PLAN FOR DEVELOPING
ALL YOUR SKILLS.
NEVER CEASE
DEVELOPING SKILLS - NO MATTER WHAT AGE.
THE KEY TO
THE GOOD LIFE IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
WHAT YOU
BECOME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU GET.
THE MAJOR
QUESTION IN LIFE IS NOT WHAT ARE YOU GETTING BUT WHAT ARE YOU BECOMING.
WHEN TAKING
A JOB DON'T ASK WHAT YOU WILL GET BUT WHAT WILL YOU BECOME.
THE KEY TO
THE GOOD LIFE IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
DEVELOP ALL
OF YOUR SKILLS. (LEADERSHIP, LANGUAGE,
COURTEOUSY, DIPLOMACY)
7) A CONSISTANT PLAN FOR FIGURING
WAYS TO LIVE UNIQUELY. LIFESTYLE
CHALLENGE:
HOW TO HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT WHILE YOU PURSUE WHAT YOU WANT.
FIGURE WAYS
TO LIVE UNIQUELY WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
TIP = TO INSURE PROMPTNESS, GIVE IT UP FRONT. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON POOR SERVICE.
