Nothing prepares you for the time your life will change. When it happens, you likely wont be looking for it.
I know this because it happened to me. I lost jobs and my relationships — sometimes on the same day. Although I was largely the cause, when it happened I was definitely NOT ready for it.
I had to admit some tough things. Number #1 was if I don’t sort it out now, it will get worse down the line. I needed an income. I needed someone to talk to. I needed courage to deal with the fact that I had neither.
So what do rich people know that you don’t know? What is their secret? It’s not skills, education or luck that let the rich get richer while you stay in the same situation year after year.
When you listen to public speakers talk about a certain subject matter, all you basically need to do is open your ears. However, speaking to someone face to face is another dynamic altogether. You communicate with people to get your point across to let them know about how you think and feel. It’s different when you are addressing the audience. Oftentimes, you are too far for them to see your nervous habits, facial expressions, and personal quirks. Read the rest of this entry »
We go to high school, go to college, and concentrate on our careers. The universities prepare us for the real world by enhancing our talents so that we do well in our chosen fields. We continue living this somewhat happy life but find ourselves growing more and more restless each day. We wonder, and then wham! The realization hits us like a bolt of lightning: we are no longer happy with our jobs. We realize after years of study that this isn’t what we wanted after all. We kick and scold ourselves, somewhat thinking that we should’ve thought more about this when we had all the time in the world. Then we wonder, could it be too late for us to make a career change? What if this is just a phase of our lives much similar to a mid-life crisis? Before we make any final decision, we have to think things through. Then, we have to stop punishing ourselves for the dire situation we created. We have to know that life is an ongoing learning experience, and regardless of age, there are too just too many aspects to learn in life that a lifetime is not enough to figure all these out.

It takes guts to go up the corporate ladder. The daily grind of work can be stressful, and when you are up against people who are equally competitive, you need to make an even bigger impression. In today’s competitive world, the possibility of succeeding becomes more difficult and challenging. You work yourself to the bone, yet you still find yourself stuck in the same position with the same measly salary. Read the rest of this entry »
When we graduate high school and start choosing the course we want to take, most of us opt for something that covers a wider range of job opportunities. At 18, we sometimes don’t have a clear picture of what we want to be in the future. Our future endeavors are not always known at such a tender age. There are those lucky few, however, that already have a clear path in their minds. If we were to inherit a large sum of money, then this is not so much of an issue. Sadly, though, most of us have to work for bread to be able to survive in today’s cut-throat world. Then, we graduate and realize that we should have taken a different path. As much as we would like to back to school and study, we have to choose work above everything else. So, what happens to us? Not to fret because there may be a way to solve this dilemma.

We all have hidden fears that we don’t always want to share with friends. These fears often leave us paralyzed. When the need to overcome these fears is required, we sometimes choose to take the easy way out: hide and run for cover. Read the rest of this entry »
Bruce Lee was once quoted saying that a successful warrior is an average man with laser-like focus. The ability to concentrate is a daunting task, especially if your mind is ridden with worries and distractions. In fact, studies reveal that a person can listen to something only for so long, which is why speakers are urged to keep their talk short and precise when they can. Read the rest of this entry »
Does this help or do you have a problem with this?
It was so many years ago when I first bought one of Jim’s inspirational audio cassettes. It was so important to me that I listened to over and over for years. Now get this, I was so worried that if I ever lost it I might not find a another one so I recorded 10 or so copies and kept the original in my safe.
I can honestly say I owe owe Jim in so many ways for starting me (and carrying me) on my journey of success. That’s the kind of impact he has made in my life.
Jim Rohn has impacted so many others over the years. I loved watching this video tribute to him and an honored to share it with you today.
