Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn

Concentration

The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.

When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of attention.

On the way to work, concentrate on the way—not the work.

Pay attention. Don't just stagger through the day.

"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.

What is your mentality, do you have the job or business mentality.

What is your mentality, do you have the job or business mentality. Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Harry Hartley of Calgary, Canada got me thinking. He asked me:
"Do people really want a business of their own? Businesses have headaches. Don't they really just want an income?"
So I got to thinking on my trip back from Canada.
Job holders think business is easy. Just sit back and collect the money. I probably shouldn't change what I say to them.
But if I'm talking to a business owner ... well, maybe I should just say extra income. The business owner certainly doesn't want one more business.

Thanks for this lesson Tom Big Al

It's your sponsor's fault.
Success or failure.
If it is your sponsor's responsibility whether you succeed or fail, then you should at least give your sponsor the authority to control every aspect of your life.
Since we certainly don't want our sponsor controlling our actions and dictating exactly what we do every day, we can't hold our sponsor responsible for our results.

This is so true, thank you Tom Big Al for yet another wonderful lesson.

Sales and appointment scripts for friends.

Sales and appointment scripts for friends.
Someone asked me for a sales script to set an appointment with a friend.
Think about that one. What comes to mind?
1. Your new distributor doesn't believe in the opportunity enough and needs a sales script to "sell" his friend.
2. If your new distributor memorizes a sales script, friends will instantly detect the friend isn't being natural and sincere.
3. The new distributor hasn't been taught that the appointment is granted by the friend because of their relationship, not because of a slick, manipulative sales script.
And the longer we think about this, the more we just shake our heads.
So instead of giving a "sales script," let's invest our time in giving our new distributors passion, belief and a desire to share the good news.
