Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn
Career/Marketplace
My father taught me to always do more than you get paid for as an investment in your future.
Whether you stay six weeks, six months or six years, always leave it better than you found it.
Don’t bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don’t feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.
If you make a sale, you can make a living. If you make an investment of time and good service in a customer, you can make a fortune.
Don’t just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make something of you.
Lack of homework shows up in the marketplace as well as in the classroom.
Where you start in the marketplace is not where you have to stay.
The worst days of those who enjoy what they do are better than the best days of those who don’t.
We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time to bring value to the marketplace, but we get paid for the value, not the time.
Here’s the major problem with going on strike for more money: You cannot get rich by demand.
