“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.

P.S. If you’re ready to learn the skills, take action, and build a better tomorrow, here’s a good place to start.

When searching for the right Work from home Opportunity
you must make sure that what you look at has the Ingredients
to work for you. Just like baking an Apple Pie, Ingredients are
what makes it taste good.

So When evaluating Home Based Businesses keep these
Ingredients handy. They are Proven to Work.

Ingredient #1.

Leadership. Every time we have ever seen a
company or down-line explode and go away, it does so
because of the same 2 reasons:  GREED and EGO.

True leaders are the Mentors with the servant’s heart.
It’s never about the money. No Money Focus = No
Greed. Build People and People will build the business.

People are people. They are NOT a number. They have goals,
dreams & desires. Network Marketing is a teaching & Mentoring
Profession.

Ingredient #2.

Product. In this Profession if your product is
not remarkable, you are invisible.

You need a product people will buy even with no
compensation plan. You need a system for your people to
retail product to the consumer. Wal-Mart is the world’s
largest retail corporation. How big would their parking
lot need to be if they only sold to their employees?

Ingredient  #3.

Timing. When the timing is right, NON – Network
Marketers will take your product to the marketplace.
Not 10 years earlier. Not 10 years later. I’ll take timing
over hard work every time.

Millionaires have been made in this Profession JUST because
of timing alone. Nothing else.

So how can you gauge the timing?

It’s not easy, but here are some tips:

1. You’ll waste a lot of time, money & energy getting in
too early. Because of large percentage of these companies
fail in the first year or two.

2. You’ll waste a lot of time, money & energy getting in
too late. If the company is a household name, its momentum
growth period occurred years ago. You’re fighting a real uphill
financial battle to start new in companies like this.

3. You want to get in AFTER a company has proven it has
staying power (maybe 3-5 years), but BEFORE its momentum
growth period (in general, the time it takes a company to
go from  $100,*000,000 to $500,*000,000 a year). If you can
find a company like this, and which also has the other
4 Ingredients in place, some fun work will give you the
chance to ride a momentum wave to wealth.

Ingredient  #4.

Compensation. You need a compensation plan that
will work for the part-timer as well as the full-timer who
wants unlimited income.

35% of the population are nurturers. They need a plan
where they can help the most people, putting people under
people under people to nurture and help those people.

15% of the population just want to have fun. They need a
plan that is fast-paced, exciting, with fast-start money.

35% of the population are detailed-oriented
numbers-crunchers. They need to see unlimited income in
the leadership position.

15% of the population is all about money. They want to
make more money than anybody else. They want a compensation
plan that realistically offers Unlimited Income. They will
leave you for more money.

Ingredient  #5.

A Tested, proven, duplicatable system for
success.

Everyone you sponsor and everyone they sponsor needs a
step by step system to get off to a fast start: on-line
off-line, one on one, cold market, warm market, retailing
recruiting, becoming a mentor to their personally
sponsored people. Proven to Work.

Don’t join a group unless they have such a system in
place.

To Your Success,
