The Two Choices We Face 
by Jim Rohn
 

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a
life of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.

To do or not to do.
To be or not to be.
To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability
 and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of whom and what they have become.

DISCIPLINE
by Jim Rohn

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only area where I let down." Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.

Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.

Discipline has within it the potential for creating future miracles.

The best time to set up a new discipline is when the idea is strong.

One discipline always leads to another discipline.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years.

The least lack of discipline starts to erode our self-esteem.

Doing the Remarkable by Jim Rohn 

When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life,
 here is a key question:

What can you do, starting today, that will make a difference?

What can you do during economic chaos?

What can you do when everything has gone wrong?

What can you do when you've run out of money, when you don't
feel well and it's all gone sour?

What can you do?

Let me give you the broad answer first. You can do the most remarkable things, no matter what happens. People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances.

Here is why humans can do remarkable things: because they are remarkable. Humans are different than any other creation. When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds. And the reason is because he's a dog.

But that's not true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens.

Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune, and disaster into success. And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable.

Try reaching down inside of yourself; you'll come up with some more
 of those remarkable human gifts. They're there, waiting to be discovered and employed.

With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that
you wish to change.
 And I challenge you to do that because you can change.

 If you don't like how something is going for you, change it.
 If something isn't enough, change it.
 If something doesn't suit you; change it.
 If something doesn't please you, change it.
You don't ever have to be the same after today.
If you don't like your present address change it — you're not a tree!

If there is one thing to get excited about, it's your ability to make
yourself do the necessary things, to get a desired result,
 to turn the negative into success. That's true excitement.

Introduction from The Power of Discipline
By Brian Tracy

 Why are some people more successful than others?

Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and accomplish
much more in the same number of years than the great majority?

I started out in life with few advantages. I did not graduate from high school. I worked at menial jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.

And then I began asking, "Why are some people more successful than others?" This question changed my life.

Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years,
in every conceivable way.

One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline. As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago,
 "Success is tons of discipline."

Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at
the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.

A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit.

With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant, but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as
 he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.

It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had derived from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.

After we had chatted for awhile, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?"

He smiled at me with a twinkle in his eye, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not."

He went on to say, "There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work."

Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens
all doors for you, and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can
 take him.

 But without self-discipline, a person with every blessing
of background, education and opportunity will seldom
 rise above mediocrity.

An Excerpt from You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School
by Mac Anderson

You may have heard the quote..."The speed of the leader will determine the rate of the pack." Well here's another one for you...

"The attitude of the leader will determine the attitude of the pack."

Because I'm the founder of Successories, some people think that this guy probably never has a negative thought. How wrong they would be! Like every human being, I have doubts, fears, and disappointments in my life.

As a leader, however, we must manage our attitudes. Do we need to be perfect? Of course not. But, we can never underestimate the influence that our actions and our attitudes will have on our team. Churchill said,

"The price of LEADERSHIP
is RESPONSIBILITY."

...and part of that responsibility
is to STAY POSITIVE whether
you feel like it or not.

MANAGING YOUR ATTITUDE IS A VERY PERSONAL THING.

 However, for me, one of the most important factors is exercise. My attitude and my energy levels are directly tied to exercise. I can be doing everything else right, but without regular exercise I can feel my attitude "heading south".

I've got a friend who is 65 but looks like he's 55. I saw him the other day and said, "Tony, you look great." He said, "I feel great! I got a second job." I said, "A second job? I thought your import business was doing well." He said, "It is. My second job is on the treadmill from 6-7 every morning. When I started looking at it as a second job, I showed up whether I wanted to or not!" He said, "The pay is lousy, but the benefits to my health and my attitude are priceless!"

Exercise, more than anything, is a "stress buster". And, don't kid yourself, stress is a killer. In fact the World Health Organization estimates that 80% of all illnesses are directly or indirectly caused by stress. Therefore, if you're not proactive in busting stress, it's very likely to come back and bust you!

An excerpt from
The Strangest Secret
by Earl Nightingale

 George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it?

 And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going,
 and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry.

And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work?
 Why do we become what we think about?

Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell
you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't
care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen?
 Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure.
 
A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear,
anxiety and so on. But what we plant must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth.

It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams.

 It will return anything we want to plant.

Ambitiously Pursuing Your Own Self-Direction
by Jim Rohn  

What is the origin of true ambition? There exists really only one place to find true ambition and that is within you—in every thought, in every movement, in every motivation. Your ambition is an expression of who you truly are, your own self-expression.

Isn't self-expression really self-direction? How you think, how you move, how you motivate yourself. Ambition is a result of self-direction, and self-direction is one of the six key principles necessary for building ambition. Positive self-direction says, "I know who I am and I know where I want to go. I'm accumulating knowledge and experiences and feelings and philosophies that will help prepare me for opportunities that I know will show up without notice or any help on my part." Because you know where you want to go, you have already been working on the parts of your personality that will make you better. Working on your attitude, working on your health, working on your time management skills. Putting it all down on paper. And you constantly see yourself in the place you want to be, going in the direction you want to go.

Direction determines destination. So here is a question you must ask yourself: "Are all the disciplines that I'm currently engaged in taking me where I want to go?" What an important question to ask yourself at the beginning of the month, the beginning of the week, the beginning of the day. Because here is what you don't ever want to do: kid yourself. Kid your neighbor, kid me and kid the marketplace, but don't kid yourself, fingers crossed hoping you will arrive at a good destination when you're not even headed that way. You have to ask yourself often, "Am I?" Am I doing the disciplines that are taking me in the direction I want to go? Don't neglect to ask these important questions, questions that help determine your direction, the set of your sail, your destination.

Is this the direction I want for my life?
Is this someone else's direction?
Is this a goal I have been ingrained with since my childhood?
Is this goal my parents', my spouse's, my boss's, my children's, or is it MINE?

Ask yourself these questions and then debate them. After you have answered these questions within yourself, then take it one step further and ask, "What am I doing that is working or not working?" Debate it all. Work with your mind to figure out the best possible direction for you—your self-direction. And then ambitiously pursue your own self-direction. Let the power of your own ambition take you where you want to go, to do what you want to do, to create the life you want to live!

Excerpt from: No Glass Ceiling, Just Blue Sky,
by Marcy Blochowiak

 When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb. She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already, she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.

On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on - hour after hour - while millions watched on national television.

Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had...until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.

Still thawing her chilled body several hours later, she told a report, "Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it." It was not fatigue or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog.

She was unable to see her goal.

Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing the men's record by two hours.

As a leader, the goals for your team must cut through
the fog like a beacon in the night.

They must always be in sight. Experts on motivation disagree on a lot of things, but one thing they all agree on is that your levels of motivation are directly tied to your expected probabilities of success. In other words, if you believe you can do something (the goals are realistic), you're likely to be highly motivated. If, however, you think you can't and your goals are not in sight, your levels of motivation fall greatly.

"You are always one choice away
from changing your life."

What if you had a fast track to the ultimate RevolucionWW experience?  What if you could plug in to the top marketer’s secrets for really earning the top incomes?  Here are a few of the top earner’s success secrets that you don’t learn in your RevolucionWW training, secrets to put you on the fast track to achieving Diamond.

The top earners in network marketing for one thing do not pitch to their friends and family.  Real businesses do not market that way, top earners do not market that way and you shouldn’t either.  To really achieve success, you need a steady stream of new prospects coming your way on a daily basis, and the way to get an unlimited number of interested prospects coming to you is to target your market.

Internet marketing is a very powerful tool to get you business up and running and for having that steady stream of interested prospects.  However, if you don’t know what you are doing, you can get hurt very quickly.  Another thing that top earners do not do is market with a company generated website, doesn’t work. Once you have targeted your market, you need a unique website that has super effective copy on it designed to speak to their needs and desires and will prompt them to take action, reach out to you and ask for more information.

Another key secret of the top earners is that once you have a steady stream of prospects coming to you every single day, you have to know how to talk to them, present your product and close them.  Top earners accomplish this smoothly and effortlessly using effective scripts that qualify, sort and guide the prospect through to the buying decision without “selling.”  Once these skills are mastered, you can turn interested prospects into purchasers and then business builders.

RevolucionWW success is absolutely achievable for the serious distributor who would be willing to invest in learning some of the key skills that the top marketers use every day.  You are probably not going to learn any of this in your Revolucion World Wide training, unfortunately.  These skills are mastered only by learning and using what the top marketers do, and it is crucial to invest in yourself and your business if you are serious about achieving Diamond.

World Class Wealth Begins With World Class Thinking

If you got out of bed this morning and went to work because you wanted to,
you are in control of money.  If you got out of bed this morning because
you had to, money is in control of you. 
Even in the wealthiest nation in the world, 99% of the population is being
controlled by money.  The effect is lack of money.  The cause is thinking. 

  Albert Einstein once said. “A problem cannot be solved at the level of consciousness in which is occurs.”  
The poverty class talks about and regurgitates the past;
the middle class talks about other people;
and the world class talks about ideas.  

The middle class trades time for money.  The world class
trades ideas that solve problems for money. 

About 150 years ago, Karl Marx was sure the working class, as a whole, would rise up and overcome oppression if they had a chance.  What Marx didn’t figure into the equation was the poverty-driven thought process of the people.  Give people operating at middle-class consciousness a million-dollar opportunity, and they will find a way to make it back to the middle class.  It is where their limited self-image tells them they belong.  The difference has nothing to do with reality.  It’s all perception in the mind of the person. 

  Ask this critical thinking question: 

  “At what level of monetary success do I feel most comfortable? 
  a.  Poverty Class        b. Middle Class         c. World Class 

  Where you feel most comfortable reflects your self-image, and most likely, your current status.  If you want to become wealthier, begin by raising your self-image by upgrading your self-talk you use regarding money and finances.  If all you do is chase more money, you are simple attacking the effect. 

  Excerpted from the book, Secrets of the World Class by Steve Siebold
