3 Ultimate Secrets To Success In Life | Jim Rohn Motivational Speech | Jim Rohn | 365 Motivation
So the man who shared with me ideas that changed my life i want to share with you three of those basic subjects he said mr rohn if you want the future to change for you you've got to change if you don't change the next six years of your life is going to be just like the last six if you will change everything will change for you if you will get better everything will get better for you three subjects that really made an impact on my life the first subject he called personal development and the second subject he called setting goals and the third was how to become financially independent.
And i'd like to give you those three major subjects that's so dramatically affected my life and uh let's get started the first one is personal development it's very simple we get paid for bringing value to the marketplace that's about as simple as i can put economics we get paid for bringing value to the marketplace now it takes time to bring value to the marketplace however we do not get paid for time so we cross that out mistakenly the man says i'm making about 20 for an hour not true if that was true you could just stay home right and have them send your money.
So that's not true we don't get paid for time we get paid for value brought to the marketplace now since that's true here's one of the key questions of my talk to you today is it possible to become twice as valuable to the marketplace and make twice as much money.
In the same time is that possible the answer is yes could you become three times as valuable in the same time and the answer is yes five times ten times of course let's say at five dollars an hour and it keeps going up top income last year 80 million dollars the guy who runs coca-cola why would the marketplace pay someone only five dollars an hour very simple answer they're not very valuable to the marketplace.
Now we must underline to the marketplace this person might be a very valuable brother yes member the family valuable yes valuable member of the church of course valuable citizen of the country yes valuable in the sight of god no doubt we're all of equal value in the sight of god but if you're not very valuable to the marketplace you don't get much money why would the marketplace pay some people fifty dollars.
An hour answer evidently they must be more valuable to the marketplace ten times more valuable and is that possible for someone to be ten times more valuable and earn fifty dollars an hour instead of five the answer is yes and would the marketplace pay one person eighty million dollars for one year's work and the answer is of course if you help the company make a billion dollars would they pay you 80 million.
I'm telling you it is possible that's why this financial ladder is so exciting it's possible for all of this to come true for all of you no matter where you start as a student in school just getting started out there in the workplace this is all possible for you now mr shelf gave me the clue on how to climb this ladder as high as i wanted to climb here's what he said to me in climbing this ladder economically all you have to do is work harder on yourself than you do on your job once i heard that it made sense to me i kept hoping that everything else would change around me found out that if i went to work on myself worked on my skills worked on my language if i became better than i was each year.
If i grew in skills and language and vocabulary and competence then i would become attractive to the marketplace all we have to do is change what's going on in here and now there are several ways to do that on personal development here's the first one we must learn from personal experience pretty simple learn from what happens to you take a look back over the last few months did you make some mistakes how could you correct those for the future take a look back over the last year have you done it right or done it wrong let's correct it for the next year so learn from your personal experience.
Now here's number two and that i call it ope other people's experiences that's me other people that's your teacher other people that's your friends and colleagues other people the people you meet that can pass along to you their experiences what's happened to them the mistakes they made how they corrected them how they changed their health and changed their bank account and changed their income and changed their future that's it other people now there's two kinds of people to learn from one.
Is failures but now then we must also learn from positive people that have done well they've got the health and so we asked them how did you become so healthy they've got the skills so we asked them how did you become this skillful they've got the income so we ask them how did you get here in such a short period of time so now here's what's important in personal development in learning from other people we learn number one by observation we learn what we see we watch people that are successful.
In what they do in sports we watch their disciplines in business we watch their disciplines by observation what we can see second we learn by what we hear listen to the lectures listen to the teacher listen to someone who's got something good to say and then number three is vitally important on personal development and that is read all the books.
All the books you can possibly read in your lifetime is very important become a good reader some books that helped change my life recommended of course the bible and then other books that helped to really change my life one called think and grow rich by napoleon hill and then a book that helped me become financially independent by the time i was 31 and that book is called the richest man in babylon by george claisen i started reading the books attending the classes making sure that i got in front of people that had something good to say and then i started keeping a journal one of the major things my teacher taught me was to keep a journal he said don't trust your memory.
If you hear something good just make a little note and write it down value captured that you can resort to later go back over it and review it and let it become valuable to you now let's cover the second subject on setting goals mr shelf gave me some tips on setting goals that changed my life forever and i want to share those with you so let's talk about setting goals and i also want to tie it to personal development.
And you'll see how i'm going to do it as i progress here setting goals there are four things to consider in terms of attitude one is how you feel about the past we've got to have the future well designed the future is called the promise the promise of the future can be an awesome force for your own future the promise of the future designing the future there's two ways to face the future one is with apprehension.
And the other is with anticipation i promise you in my travels around the world most people face the future with apprehension and here's why they don't have it well designed they've sort of left that up to someone else to fix but here's the best way to face the future with anticipation and you can face the future with anticipation.
If i would like to have you consider some thoughts with me that help me to really change my future setting goals is very simple number one decide what you want you just take a little time you sit down and say what do i want what kind of skills do i want what kind of income.
Do i want for the future uh what would i like where would i like to go places i'd like to visit uh habits i'd like to acquire skills i'd like to have you just take a little time to think about what you want economics friendships people you'd like to meet places you'd like to go make a list just jot it all down it's a really a very simple process and then here's number three keep all the old lists i'm telling you this served me so well keeping my old list of goals i look back now 10 20 years ago at goals i set lists i made and i smile now because here's what i thought was so important you know 20 years ago now some of those things aren't even on my list i've got a new list.
I've grown i've changed i've matured but i give you that advice decide what you want number two write it down number three keep the old lists and then here's number four when you get something that's on one of these lists check it off part of the fun of having a list is checking it off if the future gets clear the price gets easier because you got to remember for every promise there's a price to pay everybody's got to pay the price everybody's.
Got to do the deal everybody's got to do the disciplines everybody has to pay but here's what i've discovered if the promise is clear and powerful the price is easy to pay the prices some classes the price is a few books the price is a few disciplines the price is finding something that'll make your life better make you grow make you change make you develop so the first part of the key is to design the promise then what is the price to pay i'm telling you the price will be easy if you'll make that clear make those lists.
And be serious about it i promise you it's an easy price to pay anybody can pay it and the best advice i can give you is if i can do it you can do it farm boy from idaho raised in obscurity i changed my life turned it upside down turned it all around found economics found future found promise and if i can do it you can do it so start setting your goals and see if you can't get a better excitement going for the things you want to accomplish for the future.
Now here's my third subject and that's called financial independence oh by the way before i get to financial independence let me cover one more point one of the major reasons for setting goals is for what they make of and here's an important statement to remember it's not what you get that makes you valuable.
It's what you become okay now let's talk about financial independence.
How to become rich if you're extra bright much sooner if you find an opportunity like i did let me show you how i did it financial independence first of all i like the phrase financial independence i think it's every person's heritage here to become financially independent now let me give you my definition of financial independence financial independence.
Is the ability to live from the income of your own personal resources now it depends on how you want to live if you need two three thousand dollars a month if you need four or five thousand a month if you need ten thousand a month some people may need you know 100 000 a month but whatever you would need to live and you could earn that living from the income.
Of your own personal resources that's what i call financial freedom financial independence and let me show you how to acquire it if you start at age 15 between ages 15 and 35 is 20 years and in my personal opinion based on my own studies and my own experience 20 years in my opinion is enough time to become financially independent.
If you're not you don't live in the wrong country probably what's happened is you have the wrong plan and it's easy to be a nice person with the wrong plan i found that when i was 25 years old i was broke at age 25 and i was a nice guy you would have liked me but i'm telling you my plans up until then especially my financial plan left me broke i totally changed it the next six years and i became financially independent so i know what i'm talking about it is possible in a reasonable amount of time 15 to 35 whatever 20 years time enough time.
You can do it in much shorter period of time here's number one first of all you got to have the right philosophy philosophy is our ability to gather knowledge and sort through it and decide what's valuable to develop a philosophy about life a philosophy about our health a philosophy about our family relationships a philosophy about economics and if you develop the right philosophy that's what helps to set this sale so that in six years.
It takes you where you want to go instead of winding up like i did that first six years of my economics broke no money empty bank account let me give you a couple of philosophies to consider here's the first one it's called the philosophy of the poor and here it is poor people usually spend their money and invest what's left that's the philosophy of the poor now here's the philosophy of the rich rich people invest their money and spend what's left and here's the startling answer it really doesn't matter what the amount is what's most important is not the amount what's really important is the philosophy.
Now let me give you my best view of what to do with the dollar and i promise you if you started at age 15 now if you're over 15 right you've still got plenty of time you still got 20 years you know if you're 30 you're still got 20 years i mean you know you've still got plenty of time to start what i'm about to share with you what to do with the dollar here's my first bit of advice never spend more than 70 cents never spend more than 70 cents now you got to pick some number and the number you pick is going to be determined by your philosophy.
It's going to be determined by what you've been taught or your experience teaching yourself when i first met my teacher mr show i was at about 110 of each dollar you know i'm down at budget finance hawking my furniture in my car one more time and then i learned a whole better formula for financial independence number one don't spend more than 70 cents now kids say to me well okay what do i do with the other 30 cents and here's what i teach them 10 cents for charity charity or church or helping people that can't help themselves 10 cents to support worthy projects projects.
That you feel good about 10 cents out of every dollar it's called being generous with part of what you've taken out of society now in my opinion nothing teaches us character better than generosity no class no teacher no book help people that can't help themselves support worthy projects or if you belong to a church they teach tithe piece of that's very important okay next ten cents i call active capital active capital means do something to make a profit active capital set aside a portion of your income wages are okay but i'm telling you wages will make you a living profits will make you a fortune.
So set aside part of your income as capital called active capital any kind of project you can possibly think of you can possibly come up with so 10 cents out of your living out of the money you earn set aside for capital capital to try your best to show a profit i mean you know it doesn't take long to figure out some enterprise that'll start making a profit then you must jot this down if you're taking notes profits are better than wages one you can't usually start wages until you're about 16 15 16 but you can make a profit long before you're eligible to start earning wages and then there's no limit to profits.
And they can they can double and triple and quadruple you know there's no limit it's incredible how fast profits can grow so profits are better than wages wages make you a living profits make you a fortune now the third ten cents is vitally important i call it passive capital capital you let somebody else use a financial institution stocks and bonds mutual funds whatever let someone else use it you furnish the money.
They use it to make a profit but they pay you for the use of it called interest and here's one of the things that'll make you financially independent fairly quickly and that's called compound interest and this is how you get it letting someone else use a portion of your money your substance they show the profit they pay you interest and this passive capital i'm telling you over a sustained period of time if you'll develop this little 10 10 10 and 70 especially starting at age 15 i'm telling you by the time you're 35 you will be financially independent.
You'll have the ability to live from the income of your own resources and then one more point on passive capital there's a bible philosophy i'm an amateur on the bible but there's a bible philosophy that teaches the borrower is servant to the lender and if you want to be in a powerful position as you grow older finally when you become mature maybe have your own business.
Things have worked out for you for the future the position you always want to be in is the power position and that's called the lender the lender is the power position so if kids learn early enough and then you ask them what they'd like to be when they grow up i'm telling you once they understand they'll say well one of the things.
I want to be is one of those lenders that's the power position not the spender no you'll be pitied the rest of your life if you just become a spender you've got to become a lender and i think this is one formulas to follow 10 cents out of every dollar let someone else use it be the lender power position then try to show a profit capital belongs in the hands of the state not in the hands of the people we've been teaching all these years capital belongs.
In the hands of the people not in the hands of the state and we turned out to be right capital in the hands of the kids capital in the hands of the people enterprises that make a profit enterprises that grow it's the hope of our future so that little simple formula i hope will help you now one more key on financial independence and that is attitude attitude here's number one i used to say i hate to pay my bills my teacher straightened me out on that he said let's see mr owen what you hate to do is pay a hundred dollars on an account.
And reduce your liabilities and increase your assets i said well no not if you look at it that way he said well it all depends on how you look at it so wouldn't you love to pay your bills reduce your liabilities increase your assets you got to have that kind of attitude.
