WELCOME!
Congratulations! You are making a major contribution to your better
future by participating in this special Jim Rohn digital learning
experience, powered by SUCCESS. You are part of a unique group that
has signed up to be immersed in Jim’s practical teachings and gather
new understanding that will lead to uncommon rewards.

In this digital workbook you can capture some of Jim’s thoughts and
philosophies, as well as some of your own, and blend them into new
ideas and insights that have the capacity to be life changing. Then,
with the passing of time, you can look back upon these pages as the
documents that started your own miracle process.

But remember, the ideas you capture and the notes you take represent
only a beginning. The insights shared in this course are merely the
seeds that have the capacity to lead to extraordinary achievement. As
Jim would say, “These seeds will need the soil of your own imagination
and creativity, the water of your faith, and the intensity of your activity
if they are to bear fruit.” So we encourage you to make these ideas your
own through careful note-taking, frequent reviewing, careful analysis,
and the consistent application of these concepts in both your personal
and your business life.

I wish for you a life of wealth, health and happiness; a


life in which you give to yourself the gift of patience,
the virtue of reason, the value of knowledge, and the
influence of faith in your own ability to dream and to
achieve worthy rewards. —Jim Rohn

For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled
artist, helping people all over the world sculpt life strategies
that expanded their imagination of what is possible. Jim set
the standard for those who seek to teach and inspire others. He
possessed the unique ability to bring extraordinary insights to
ordinary principles and events. Those who had the privilege of
hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense in
his material. It is no coincidence, then, that he is widely regarded
as one of the most influential thinkers of our time and a national
treasure. Jim authored numerous books and audio and video
programs, and he helped motivate and shape an entire generation
of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives
from America’s top corporations.

You’ve got to have ideas that feed your —————————, not just

Simply put, a philosophy is a ——————————————— system.

Only humans have the ability to use their

NOTES
——————————————— diseases are like weeds that grow in
the garden.

Negative is ———————————————. It’s not successful, but it’s


normal. It’s part of ———————————————.

You must learn to handle the ——————————————— in life.

It’s called the great war between good and


———————————————.

The first disease of attitude is ———————————————.

We all do better for one of two reasons:

——————————————— or ———————————————.

The key to the good life: learn to put everything you’ve got into
——————————————— you do.

The next attitude disease is ——————————————— or


mental paralysis.

Don’t see how many decisions you can get out of, see how many
you can get into, that’s where the ——————————————— is.

——————————————— is like a plague. And one of the worst is


self-doubt.

The devastating disease of ——————————————— causes


health problems, social problems, personal problems, family
problems. It’s devastating. Worry long enough, it’ll drop you to
your knees.

The disease of over-——————————————— can lead to the


timid and cautious approach to life.

To the pessimist, the glass is always half ———————————————.

The final disease of attitude is ———————————————.

Spend 5 minutes complaining, and you have wasted 5 minutes!

In life, the best way to avoid settling for existence rather than
substance is to learn how to set ———————————————.

——————————————— make the difference in how your life


works out.

Reasons for doing well.

1. ——————————————— reasons

2. ——————————————— reasons

3. ———————————————

———————————————-gritty reasons are hard little reasons


that sometimes are the most powerful reasons that can change
your life.

“The best revenge is massive ———————————————.”


—Frank Sinatra

Your ———————————————-range goals are your dreams for


the rest of your life.

Your ———————————————-range goals are your goals for


tomorrow, this week, this month, this year, the immediate future.

Goals can be divided into three categories.

First, ——————————————— goals are your goals for money,


business, income, profits, production.

Second, make a list of the ——————————————— you want,


little things as well as major things.

Third, ——————————————— development goals encompass


desires to be stronger, more decisive, learn a language, all kinds
of skills.

The simple formula for setting goals:

1. ——————————————— on your goals.

2. ——————————————— your goals down.

Three key points on asking and receiving:

Number 1, asking is the ——————————————— of receiving.

Number 2, receiving is not the problem, receiving is

Number 3, receiving is like the ocean: there’s

Two ways to ask:

Now look at each item on your list above and give each item a
NOTES
number representing how long you think it might take to
achieve that goal (1 = one year, 3 = three years, 5 = five years, or
10 = ten years).

Next, go through and count them; how many ones, how many
threes, how many fives, how many tens? And then make a little
list of those numbers.

It’s very important to ——————————————— when you reach


a goal that’s significant to you or important to you. Celebration
creates excitement to develop a longer list of
———————————————.

Set ——————————————— goals to replace the goals that


you’ve achieved.

Go back over your one-year goals and pick out the four
most important.

The next question is why? Write a little paragraph next to each


on why those four goals are important to you.

The why is very important. When the why gets stronger, the
——————————————— gets easier.

Purpose is stronger than ——————— —.

It’s okay to have plenty of objects to go for on your goal list.

But always keep asking yourself —————————————————.

Some of your goals should be personal ——————— —.

Ask yourself, “What kind of person must I become to achieve


all I want?”

Write down your answer.

Destination is not determined by hope, nor by wish.

Destination is determined by ———————————————.

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

Are there skills at which you would like to be proficient?

Are there certain habits you want to develop or overcome?

Is there a particular person you admire and want to be like?

In ten years will you be more confident, decisive, independent,


physically fit?

One of the most important parts of the presentation process is
NOTES
———————————————.

In identifying with someone, one of the best ways is to pick


something you have in ——————————————— to get the
conversation started.

In the identification process we want somebody to say


“———————————————.”

Learn to ——————————————— rather than impress.

The identification process isn’t over forever once you get to


know somebody. You must constantly re-———————————————.

If you tell little stories about yourself in identifying, make sure


that they’re ——————————————— stories.

Use experiences from your own ——————————————— to


come up with all kinds of ways to identify with anybody, but
you’ve got to do it ———————————————.

It’s important to keep a ——————————————— to help record


your life experiences.

Be a gatherer of life’s ——————————————— so that you


can use them all for points of reference and points
of identification.

Logic and ——————————————— are major parts of a


good presentation.

How many facts should you cover in any presentation?

The answer: Just enough so that it makes

Make sure that the logic and reason part of your sales
NOTES
presentation is ———————————————.

Be brief with the facts because people primarily buy from


——————————————— and not from logic.

Another step in preparing a good presentation is what’s called


——————————————— and ———————————————.

Attack is another name for handling ———————————————.

Here are some objections that need to be attacked:

1. ———————————————

You need to have good ——————————————— for all of


the excuses.

Take special care to attack the problem and not the


———————————————.

2. ———————————————

Procrastination means delaying or putting off a


———————————————.

3. Substituting ——————————————— for value

“Things don’t cost too much. You just can’t


——————————————— it.”
—Earl Shoaff

The best way to attack a problem is first of all to


——————————————— you’ve had the problem.

Confessing you’ve had the same problem allows you to


——————————————— with people.

When confessing for someone else, tell their
NOTES
——————————————— that help to illustrate what you’re trying
to solve.

Use these tactics in a presentation as tools of last


———————————————:

1. Direct ———————————————

In a direct attack, don’t strip someone of their


———————————————.

Always remember this in the communication process: give


people the ——————————————— reasons for doing it first,
before you get to the hard reasons.

2. ———————————————

Don’t resort to scolding unless there’s no


——————————————— left.

It can cause damage if you don’t do it very carefully.

3. ———————————————

Sarcasm is effective in the right place, but you’ve got to make


sure it’s only a tool of last ———————————————.

Don’t operate on the ——————————————— with a hatchet.

Get to the problem but don’t destroy the


——————————————— in the process.

In every presentation for which you’re trying to accomplish


something, make sure you always leave somebody with a
———————————————.

Learn the importance of the various worlds of

Communication in the outside world is just a matter of exerting


more ———————————————, being more pointed in your ability
to try to communicate with somebody else.

Make the effort to ——————————————— better with people


of other cultures, or in another city, another state, or another
country—outside of your normal area.

Next, you’ve got to communicate with the variety of people in


the world of your ———————————————.

It’s very important to communicate with people on your

THE ART OF PERSUASION

There is a difference between presentation and

Here are a few simple keys to remember in learning the art


of persuasion:

First, become a good ———————————————.

To be a good storyteller you’ve got to collect

Nothing destroys ——————————————— like a misuse of


the facts.

Learn how to ———————————————. Be a gatherer of quotes


and learn the ones that can help ——————————————— what
you’re wanting to say.

——————————————— is just saying something extremely well


for just a little burst of time.

In persuasion, “telling it like it is” describes


——————————————— talk.

Here’s another key: Everybody responds to a

If you’re good at challenge, you’ll be good in the art of

Financial independence is the ability to live from the
