WELCOME!
Congratulations! You are making a major contribution to your better
future by participating in this special Jim Rohn digital learning
experience, powered by SUCCESS. You are part of a unique group that
has signed up to be immersed in Jim’s practical teachings and gather
new understanding that will lead to uncommon rewards.
In this digital workbook you can capture some of Jim’s thoughts and
philosophies, as well as some of your own, and blend them into new
ideas and insights that have the capacity to be life changing. Then,
with the passing of time, you can look back upon these pages as the
documents that started your own miracle process.
But remember, the ideas you capture and the notes you take represent
only a beginning. The insights shared in this course are merely the
seeds that have the capacity to lead to extraordinary achievement. As
Jim would say, “These seeds will need the soil of your own imagination
and creativity, the water of your faith, and the intensity of your activity
if they are to bear fruit.” So we encourage you to make these ideas your
own through careful note-taking, frequent reviewing, careful analysis,
and the consistent application of these concepts in both your personal
and your business life.
I wish for you a life of wealth, health and happiness; a
life in which you give to yourself the gift of patience,
the virtue of reason, the value of knowledge, and the
influence of faith in your own ability to dream and to
achieve worthy rewards. —Jim Rohn

It’s called the great war between good and

The next attitude disease is ——————————————— or
mental paralysis.
Don’t see how many decisions you can get out of, see how many
you can get into, that’s where the ——————————————— is.

Three key points on asking and receiving:
Number 1, asking is the ——————————————— of receiving.
Number 2, receiving is not the problem, receiving is

Now look at each item on your list above and give each item a
number representing how long you think it might take to
NOTES
achieve that goal (1 = one year, 3 = three years, 5 = five years, or
10 = ten years).
Next, go through and count them; how many ones, how many
threes, how many fives, how many tens? And then make a little
list of those numbers.
It’s very important to ——————————————— when you reach
a goal that’s significant to you or important to you. Celebration
creates excitement to develop a longer list of
———————————————.
Set ——————————————— goals to replace the goals that
you’ve achieved.
Go back over your one-year goals and pick out the four
most important.
The next question is why? Write a little paragraph next to each
on why those four goals are important to you.
The why is very important. When the why gets stronger, the
——————————————— gets easier.
Purpose is stronger than ———————

It’s okay to have plenty of objects to go for on your goal list.
But always keep asking yourself —————————————————.
Some of your goals should be personal ———————

One of the most important parts of the presentation process is
———————————————.
NOTES
In identifying with someone, one of the best ways is to pick
something you have in ——————————————— to get the
conversation started.
In the identification process we want somebody to say
“———————————————.”
Learn to ——————————————— rather than impress.
The identification process isn’t over forever once you get to
know somebody. You must constantly re-———————————————.
If you tell little stories about yourself in identifying, make sure
that they’re ——————————————— stories.
Use experiences from your own ——————————————— to
come up with all kinds of ways to identify with anybody, but
you’ve got to do it ———————————————.
It’s important to keep a ——————————————— to help record
your life experiences.
Be a gatherer of life’s ——————————————— so that you
can use them all for points of reference and points
of identification.
Logic and ——————————————— are major parts of a
good presentation.
How many facts should you cover in any presentation?
The answer: Just enough so that it makes

Make sure that the logic and reason part of your sales
presentation is ———————————————.
NOTES
Be brief with the facts because people primarily buy from
——————————————— and not from logic.
Another step in preparing a good presentation is what’s called
——————————————— and ———————————————.
Attack is another name for handling ———————————————.
Here are some objections that need to be attacked:
1. ———————————————
You need to have good ——————————————— for all of
the excuses.
Take special care to attack the problem and not the
———————————————.
2. ———————————————
Procrastination means delaying or putting off a
———————————————.
3. Substituting ——————————————— for value
“Things don’t cost too much. You just can’t
——————————————— it.”
—Earl Shoaff
The best way to attack a problem is first of all to
——————————————— you’ve had the problem.
Confessing you’ve had the same problem allows you to
——————————————— with people.

When confessing for someone else, tell their
——————————————— that help to illustrate what you’re trying
NOTES
to solve.
Use these tactics in a presentation as tools of last
———————————————:
1. Direct ———————————————
In a direct attack, don’t strip someone of their
———————————————.
Always remember this in the communication process: give
people the ——————————————— reasons for doing it first,
before you get to the hard reasons.
2. ———————————————
Don’t resort to scolding unless there’s no
——————————————— left.
It can cause damage if you don’t do it very carefully.
3. ———————————————
Sarcasm is effective in the right place, but you’ve got to make
sure it’s only a tool of last ———————————————.
Don’t operate on the ——————————————— with a hatchet.
Get to the problem but don’t destroy the
——————————————— in the process.
In every presentation for which you’re trying to accomplish
something, make sure you always leave somebody with a
———————————————.

COMMUNICATION PRIORITIES
NOTES
Learn the importance of the various worlds of

First is communication in the ——————————————— world.
Communication in the outside world is just a matter of exerting
more ———————————————, being more pointed in your ability
to try to communicate with somebody else.
Make the effort to ——————————————— better with people
of other cultures, or in another city, another state, or another
country—outside of your normal area.
Next, you’ve got to communicate with the variety of people in
the world of your ———————————————.
Be a little more ——————————————— of your community,
others in your business, other businesses in your industry,
schools, service organizations, etc.
It’s very important to communicate with people on your

In your job, as in other areas, you cannot succeed by

You’ve got to be aware of what’s happening around you.
The more you know how to ——————————————— in the

THE ART OF PERSUASION
There is a difference between presentation and
———————————————.
Here are a few simple keys to remember in learning the art
of persuasion:
First, become a good ———————————————.
To be a good storyteller you’ve got to collect
———————————————.
Next in the art of persuasion is the correct handling of the
———————————————.
Nothing destroys ——————————————— like a misuse of
the facts.
Learn how to ———————————————. Be a gatherer of quotes
and learn the ones that can help ——————————————— what
you’re wanting to say.
——————————————— is just saying something extremely well
for just a little burst of time.
In persuasion, “telling it like it is” describes
——————————————— talk.
Here’s another key: Everybody responds to a

If you’re good at challenge, you’ll be good in the art of

Financial independence is the ability to live from the

NOTES
It’s not what you earn, but what you do with what you
earn that makes the great difference in your
