A wonderful post from Jack Canfield on the power of following what you love and your own success will follow as a person. You also need to learn to delegate those tasks
that you are unable to do as a person. Yet even delegate those tasks to someone who loves doing what you do not enjoy doing as a person, say you run a business yet
find you struggle to enjoy the accounting side of things. You can either do such or hire a book keeper to take care of such.

Say you enjoy gardening yet it gets too much for you, a gardener can help out. There are many solutions to those tasks which people really do not enjoy, in this day and
age there are even solutions to lose weight from little to no exercise. Sure its good when you exercise as a person however some people are unable to do a whole lot
of exercise. So you have to find a way to enjoy the exercise and do what you can as a person, walk with a friend, go to a gym with a friend, you can find many ways to get fit.
These days there are a number of companies such as Herbalife which offer weight loss and health improvement solutions.

Free Your Genius and Success Will Follow
by Jack Canfield

There are things that you do incredibly well.  There are things that you love to do so much you hardly feel like you’re working when you do them.  It is your purpose, your core genius, and if you got paid to do it you would make it you life’s work.  You have been developing our core genius and defining your purpose and formulating steps to take to achieve success with it.  It is time to evaluate how much time you actually spend doing what you love to do.

Successful people believe in their core genius.  They believe it holds tremendous value and they put their purpose first.  They find as much time to focus on it because they know it is what they are meant to be doing in the world.  In order to find more time, they learn to delegate!

Are you one of those who does everything yourself?  You’ve got a household to keep in order, groceries to get, food to make, phone calls to make, bills to pay, perhaps you’ve got kids to take to school and all of their extra-curricular activities, a yard to take care of, laundry to wash, in your non-working life alone you have got a full time job with daily chores!  You might have a job to go to or a business to run, accounting to keep in order, mailings that need to go out, phone calls that need to be made, files that need to be organized, reports that need to be read, and people you need to meet with.  There is so much of your day that you spend doing the things that need to be done, but they don’t have anything to do with your core genius.  Time spent doing tasks that you don’t really want or like to do is time taken away from doing what you love.  Free up your time so you can be focusing on your purpose!

Delegating is not easy sometimes.  You might be afraid to delegate because it means giving up control.  But why waste your time with these tasks that you don’t even like doing when you could double the amount of time you spend developing and practicing your genius?  There are people who love to do what you hate to do, and they do it much better than you because they love it! 

When you know your core genius, you’ve got to find a way to devote yourself to perfecting it.  You have got to spend as much time with it as possible.  So learn to delegate and delegate completely!  When you have found someone to accomplish the tasks that take up your time, let them know exactly what you want and then give them the freedom to accomplish it.  There is no sense in micromanaging!  Find someone you trust to do the job and do it well then leave them alone unless you are not happy with the results. 

What are some things that you don’t particularly care doing?  How much time do you spend every week doing those things?  Imagine spending that time doing what you love to do while someone else is enjoying doing what you used to be doing.  It’s a win/win situation!

The following is from Jim Rohn’s newsletter on Personal development and becoming worth more as a person. As Jim Rohn say’s for you
“To have more than what you’ve got, become more than you are”. As my friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy says “For you to make more
you have to become that person. You have to become that person who people want to be around and want to be in business with”. The only
way we can do this is through personal development and growing into that amazing leader who people want to be around.

The Miracle of Personal Development
by Jim Rohn

One day my mentor Mr. Shoaff said, "Jim, if you want to be wealthy and happy, learn this lesson well: Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job."

Since that time I've been working on my own personal development. And I must admit that this has been the most challenging assignment of all. This business of personal development lasts a lifetime.

You see, what you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on the job is not, "What am I getting?" Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.

I've also found that income rarely exceeds personal development. Sometimes income takes a lucky jump, but unless you learn to handle the responsibilities that come with it, it will usually shrink back to the amount you can handle.

If someone hands you a million dollars, you'd better hurry up and become a millionaire. A very rich man once said, "If you took all the money in the world and divided it equally among everybody, it would soon be back in the same pockets it was before."

It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development.

So here's the great axiom of life:

To have more than you've got, become more than you are.

This is where you should focus most of your attention. Otherwise, you just might have to contend with the axiom of not changing, which is:

Unless you change how you are, you'll always have what you've got.

The following is from Jim Rohn’s newsletter. A wonderful article on time management and being the manager of your own time as a whole,
as Jim says we can get more money. Yet the one thing we are unable to get is more time. You need to learn to separate the majors from the
minors as Jim says.

Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn

Time Management

Learn how to separate the majors and the minors. A lot of people don't do well simply because they major in minor things.

Sometimes you need to stay in touch but be out of reach.

Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it, and spend it rather than invest it.

We can no more afford to spend major time on minor things than we can to spend minor time on major things.

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

“Vitamins for the Mind” is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim’s personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years.
