WEEK TWO

Welcome to Week Two of the Jim Rohn One-Year Success Plan. We hope you have had

a great first week and are ready for this week’s journey.

Last week we summarized the purpose and goals for the JR One-Year Success Plan and

introduced our first month’s topic – Personal Development.

We discussed the key ingredients in order for this program to be a success. I want to

reiterate these points because these distinctions will be the centerpiece of our program:

- Having a plan that is doable for even the busiest of people.

- Long-term perspective – with the focus on the person you will become and the results

you achieve one year from now.

- Have a specific focus for 30 days at a time on a core building block or pillar of success,

allowing us to focus on 12 individual core areas over the period of a year.

- Using weekly email to bring continuity, accountability and synergy.

- Using supplemental audio programs and books to listen to in the car and read at night,

along with monthly conference calls and more.

The fact that you have made a commitment and are part of a program that is ongoing and

will be addressing core building blocks is more than half of the victory. You do not have

to get in a hurry or speed things up or feel stressed when you are behind. Just realize you

are heading down the right road with a pre-determined plan to arrive in a better, happier

and more productive place.

Below, Jim Rohn will walk you through point two on Personal Development – Having a

Plan. Then, Chris will review last week’s audio lesson and this week’s action strategies.

Thanks and Make It a Great Week!

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Personal Development, Part Two - The Plan

Hi, Jim Rohn here and welcome to Week Two. Again, what an exciting opportunity to be

able to take this next step together on our one-year journey.

Last week we discussed the fact that this is indeed a journey, a process, a destination and

an adventure that we are taking together.

We also introduced our first pillar of success, Personal Development, and the four main

components that are our focus this month:

1. The Invitation – We looked at the possibilities and I challenged you to accept the

invitation to join me on this unique journey of self-development and discovery where

you’ll set and reach higher goals, go for your dreams, change certain unpleasant things

about yourself and make a significant difference in the lives of others.

2. The Plan – This week we’ll talk about the plan. All good things in life are upstream,

but the natural flow of life is that downward, negative pull. To combat that downward

pull, you need a plan, a map to help you reach your desired destination. We’ll talk about

the plan and break down the keys to creating and following a successful plan.

3. Association and Influence - We are affected by everything around us, including what

we read, what we watch, who we talk with and who we spend time with. It all plays a part

in how we view our world, our relationships, our opportunities but mostly ourselves.

Next week we’ll discuss the importance of our associations and the influence they have.

4. Learning and Education - All 12 Pillars of Success we’ll be studying over the next

year will involve personal development, becoming a student and learning. This is the

foundation -- one of the basics or fundamentals to becoming more, to having more and to

doing more, and we’ll cover this key aspect in two weeks.

Bonus Point – Personal Development is about having a Celebration; creating your own

unique, only-you-deserve-it-because-you-did-it, one-of-a-kind celebration!

We will cover each of these 4 points in depth this month. Last week we discussed the

invitation, and now this week I congratulate you on accepting this invitation to be, do and

have more in your life. The Bible says if you search you will find, and that is what you

and I are in the process of doing. We have accepted the invitation to be seekers so that we

can now be finders of the better things that life so openly offers to those who choose to

partake in the process. This next year, let’s see what we can do with the soil, seed,

sunshine, rain and the miracle of possibilities to turn what we have into a life filled with

the equities of treasure, family relationships, enterprise, gifts galore and everything that

you want.

Now let’s move on to this week’s topic - The Plan.

As we all know, our results are only as good as our plan. Mr. Shoaff taught me that it’s

not what happens that determines the major part of our future, because what happens,

happens to us all. Instead, he taught me that the key is what we do about it. If we start the

process of change by developing a plan, doing something different in this next year than

we did the previous year, it won’t matter how small those efforts start. Start doing

different things with the same set of circumstances – the ones we’ve always had and

cannot change – and see what miracles occur. If we start the miracle process and change

ourselves, then everything changes. And here’s what is interesting, the difference

between success and failure is so subtle. Let me explain by giving you my definitions of

failure and success. Here it is: Failure is a few Errors in judgment repeated everyday. The

man says, “Well I didn’t walk around the block today and it didn’t kill me, so it must be

okay.” No, no, it is that kind of error in judgment, that after six years has him out of

breath and panting as he walks from his car to his office. You can’t make those kinds of

mistakes; it will end up costing you.

Now, here is my definition of success: A few simple Disciplines practiced every day. Do

you see the distinction? A few disciplines... Here’s a little phrase we’ve all heard, “An

apple a day keeps the doctor away.” And my question to you is, “What if that’s true?”

How simple and easy is that plan?

The fact is, when you look at successful people, you will almost always discover a plan

behind their success. They know what they want, they work out a plan that will get them

where they want to go, and they work their plan. It is the foundation for success. We as

humans have the unique ability to affect change in our lives; it is through our own

conscious choice when we engage in the miracle process of personal development that

we are able to transform our nature and our lives.

We want this first year in our program to be a success for you – a smashing success – and

we know that means you will need to have a plan, and then methodically work that plan.

It is the combination of the materials and your open attitude towards learning, driven by

the diligent following of a plan that is right for you, that will make this year the kind of

success we know you want it to be. So let me challenge you to be no less sincere, be no

less committed to the advancement of your philosophy, the set of your sail, your plan.

So, what are some good ideas on developing a plan that will work well and take you to

the finish line powerfully and in style? Here are some major points to keep in mind (Chris

will give you the action steps at the end).

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone

else’s plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much.”

-– Jim Rohn

Develop the Plan for You. Some people are very detail oriented and they will be able to

follow an intricate plan closely. Others are a little more “free-wheeling” and not really

“detail” people. That is okay too. In all the years of my speaking to audiences worldwide,

people have asked the question, “what plan is the right plan?” And my answer, the plan

that fits you. Your plan, the one you develop that is unique to you and for you. You see,

each of us is unique and motivated by different factors and you’ve got to develop one that

is right for you and fits you. Some plans will not be as intricate as others but we all must

have a plan, along with goals in that plan, to move us along the program. If you are a free

spirit type, don’t tell yourself you are going to spend 2 hours a day with a book and tapes

and journal. It probably won’t happen and you will get discouraged! Whatever your

personality, your strengths and your weaknesses, develop the plan around them! This is

not a one-plan-fits-all proposition.

Establish Times to Spend Working on the Material. It may be every Sunday night. It

may be 20 minutes each morning. It may be in the car listening to the CD’s every

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Whatever it is, set the times and do it. In your step-by-

step plan, put down points that you can accomplish every week. They should be specific

and achievable. Develop the discipline and take those steps everyday, which will move

you closer to your goals and where you want to be.

Keep a Journal. Take notes. It may be on paper, it may be on a micro-recorder. Mr.

Shoaff taught me not to trust my memory, but to write it down, to find one place to gather

the information that affects change. And that advice has served me well all these years.

Record the ideas and inspiration that will carry you from where you are to where you

want to be. Take notes on the ideas that impact you most. Put down your thoughts and

ideas. Brainstorm with yourself on where you are going and what you want to do. Record

your dreams and ambitions. Your journals are a gathering place for all the valuable

information that you will find. If you are serious about becoming wealthy, powerful,

sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured, unique, if you come across something

important write it down. Two people will listen to the same material and different ideas

will come to each one. Use the information you gather and record it for further reflection,

for future debate and for weighing the value that it is to you.

Reflect. Create time for reflection -- a time to go back over, to study again the things

you’ve learned and the things you’ve done each day. I call it "running the tapes again" so

that the day locks firmly in your memory so that it serves as a tool. As you go through the

material in this plan, you will want to spend time reflecting on its significance for you.

Regularly set aside time – here are some good guidelines for times to reflect: At the end

of the day. Take a few minutes at the end of each day and go back over the day - who’d

you talk to, who’d you see, what did they say, what happened and how’d you feel, what

went on. A day is the piece of the mosaic of your life. Next, take a few hours at the end of

the week to reflect on the week’s activities - I would suggest at least one half-hour. Also

during that weekly time, take a few minutes to reflect on how this material should be

applied to your life and circumstances. Take a half-day at the end of the month and a

weekend at the end of the year so that you’ve got it so that it never disappears, to ensure

that the past is even more valuable and will serve your future well.
