Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind
by Jim Rohn
Time Management

Something will master and something will serve. Either you run the day or the day runs you; either you run the business or the business runs you.

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

Don't mistake movement for achievement. It's easy to get faked out by being busy. The question is: Busy doing what?

Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.

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.

Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.

Learn how to say no. Don't let your mouth overload your back.

Time is the best-kept secret of the rich.

Another great post from Jim Rohn’s Teachings from his newsletter.

“Don’t waste your life as a commuter!”

"Don't waste your life as a commuter!"
Great headline, eh?
If you don't capture your prospect's imagination and attention with a great first sentence or headline ... you don't have a prospect.
Always think hard about what your first sentence will be. Your career depends on it.
And now for some examples:
* "Health today ... and tomorrow."
* "10 reasons to quit your job immediately."
* "How to call in well. (Well, I'm not coming in any more.)"
* "How to make your neighbors jealous every morning."
* "Attention headache sufferers: Please read this."
* "Take 4 inches off your waistline this month."
* "Leave your boss a good-bye note."
* "Reduce your taxes - just like the ultra-rich."
Remember, first sentences are used by your competition. Everyone is vying for your prospect's money.

Forget those tiny prospecting buttons.

Forget those tiny prospecting buttons.
Why settle for those little prospecting buttons that read:
"Lose 10 lbs. in 10 days."
"Free long distance forever."
"Get an extra paycheck - ask me how."
Instead, think big, really big.
How about embroidering or creating custom shirts for your team?
Imagine the entire back of the shirt with these messages:
Lose15poundsin15days.com
NoCostLongDistanceForever.com
QuitThatDeadEndJob.com

Yet some more great tips from Tom Big Al on advertising and getting people to come to you.
