More Jim Rohn quotes:

To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract.

We can have more than we've got because we can become more than we are.

The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit.

Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and who isn't a millionaire. Here's what would be pitiful: If your revenue grew and you didn't.

The most important question to ask on the job is not "What am I getting?" The most important question to ask on the job is "What am I becoming?"

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

After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what's important is not the million dollars; what's important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire.

What you become directly influences what you get.

The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.

49 W hen Andrew Carnegie died, they discovered a sheet of paper upon which he had written one of the major goals of his life: to spend the first half of his life accumulating money and to spend the last half of his life giving it all away. And he did!

Some people are disturbed by those tough days because all they have is the days. They haven't designed or described or defined the future.

Goals. There's no telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them. And there's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.

We all need lots of powerful long-range goals to help us past the short-term obstacles.

The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them.

Don't set your goals too low. If you don't need much, you won't become much.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.

W e all have two choices: W e can make a living or we can design a life.

50 It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million.

Giving is better than receiving because giving starts the receiving process.

Nothing teaches character better than generosity.

Here's what is exciting about sharing ideas with others: If you share a new idea with ten people, they get to hear it once and you get to hear it ten times.

Sharing makes you bigger than you are. The more you pour out, the more life will be able to pour in.

Somebody says, "Well, I can't be concerned about other people. About the best I can do is to take care of myself." Well, then you will always be poor.

W hat you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.

When somebody shares, everybody wins.

The amount you give isn't important. What matters is what that amount represents in terms of your life.

Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.

To be young Again...When we were kids

You lived as a child in the 50s or the 60s or earlier. Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have...

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

Our baby cribs were covered with bright coloured lead- based paint.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!) 55

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors. We would spend hours building our go- carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem.

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable.

We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut and broken bones and broken teeth and there were no law suits from these accidents. They were accidents. And No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents? We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda but we were never overweight....

.....we were always outside playing. We shared one grape soda with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this?

We did not have Play stations, Nintendo 64, X Boxes, video games at all, 101 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cellular phones, Personal Computers, internet chat rooms ... we had friends.

We went outside and found them. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell or just walked in and talked to them.

Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian. How did we do it?

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever. 56

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.....

Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade.....Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason.

Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind.

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law, imagine that!

This generation has produced some of the best risk- takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever.

The past 50 years has been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and I learned how to deal with it all.

And you're one of them.

RESIGNATION

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

57 I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple; When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, and illness,

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So . . . here's my cheque book and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my tax statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause......

...... "Tag! You're it."

Pass this to someone and brighten their day by helping them remember the Simple things in Life!

For people over 40 . . .

A computer was something on TV from a science-fiction show of note.

58 A window was something you hated to clean And ram was the cousin of a goat

Meg was the name of my girlfriend.

And gig was a job for the nights

Now they all mean different things

And that really mega bytes.

An application was for employment

A program was a TV show

A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age

A CD was a bank account

And if you had a 3 inch Floppy You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage

Not something you did to a file

And if you unzipped anything in public you'd be in jail for a while.

Log on was adding wood to the fire

Hard drive was a long trip on the road

59

A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

And a backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife

Paste you did with glue

A web was a spider's home

And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper

And the memory in my head I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash

But when it happens they wish they were dead.

A WASHINGTON POST columnist runs a column each summer listing interesting W OMEN'S T-shirts observed at the Ocean City, Maryland beach.

1. I CHILD PROOFED MY HOUSE, BUT THEY STILL GET IN.

2. (On the front) 60 IS NOT OLD. (On the back) IF YOU'RE A TREE.

3. AT MY AGE, "GETTING LUCKY" MEANS FINDING MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT.

5. MY REALITY CHECK JUST BOUNCED.

6. LIFE IS SHORT. MAKE FUN OF IT.

7. I'M NOT 50. I'M $49.95 PLUS TAX.

8. PHYSICALLY PFFFFFT!

Felix & Skitz

9. IT'S MY CAT'S WORLD. I'M JUST HERE TO OPEN CANS. 60

10. "EARTH" IS THE INSANE ASYLUM OF THE UNIVERSE.

11. KEEP STARING....I MAY DO A TRICK.

12. WE GOT RID OF THE KIDS. THE CAT WAS ALLERGIC.

13. DANGEROUSLY UNDER-MEDICATED.

14. MY MIND WORKS LIKE LIGHTNING. ONE BRILLIANT FLASH AND IT'S GONE.

15. LIVE YOUR LIFE SO THAT WHEN YOU DIE, THE PREACHER WON'T HAVE TO TELL LIES AT YOUR FUNERAL.

"I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals. W e aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners." - Jeff Stilson

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't. - Margaret Thatcher

"If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. W hat he needs is education to turn him around." - Jim Rohn

To find out how ANYONE, even a computer —Dummy“ like me, can make your own web site check out: http://www.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

Or visit these specific pages for your subject of interest:

o The SBI! Small Business Locator "Find YOUR Small Business (Or Idea)" Do you reach a rather broad-based audience? Or what if you want a wife to read your article and perhaps point her husband or friend in another direction? This site gives you multiple chances to make a sale...

http://find.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o For The Aspiring Infopreneur... InfoPublishing Build an online business based upon what you know (from work experience, hobbies, passions, or past-times). If you know your subject matter, and if you're motivated to build a REAL business with growing, diversified revenues...

http://infopublishing.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

63 o Funnel RELEVANT Traffic to Primary E-commerce/Corporate Site Already have an online store? A sales site? Most SSBs who do are in supreme pain... no traffic. Remind them of their "no traffic" pain. The best way is to suggest that your prospective customer visit...

http://traffic.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

... and take the "Get to the Point Test" -- it's a powerful demo of just how badly off their business is, traffic-wise, and how much better they could be doing.

Some SBI! clients have spent $30,000+ on their main e-com sites. But their major source of traffic comes from their $300 SBI!.

http://traffic.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Master the Word to Professional Webmasters Small business people who "do it themselves" are the tip of the iceberg. Webmasters reach the iceberg... those who want others to do it for them. Use this RR URL to reach the folks who reach the iceberg...

http://webmaster.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Affiliates Finally, the promise of affiliate marketing is realized. Publish a theme-based information-jammed content site. Monetize with the cream of affiliate programs, blend in additional AdSense and other revenues. Finally... Build an affiliate site that WORKS. Diversify as you grow.

http://affiliatemarketing.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Network Marketers Network Marketing starts with recruiting/lead generation. Generating leads is "made for the Net." But that's not the way matters have unfolded. Why? Because everyone in the industry has tried to force offline methods, online. There's no need to push (i.e., chase cold calls/prospects) when you can motivate them to pull (i.e., they call you).

http://networkmarketing.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Online Auction Sellers Encourage auction sellers to free themselves of eBay dependency. The "Big 3" will do it --> #1) Own #2) Diversify #3) Build equity. Now auction sellers can build REAL businesses that THEY own.

http://auctions.sitesell.com/strategic4.html 64

o For LOCAL Businesses with LOCAL Clients There are tens of millions of small local businesses not yet online. Those who ARE online? They die deaths of quiet, no-traffic desperation. Show them how to build a Web site that WORKS... One that delivers 100 times the benefits of a Yellow Pages ad, At one tenth of the cost.

http://localbiz.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o For Those Selling a Service... or Could Be! It's *THE* Most Overlooked Opportunity on the Net. Build an evergrowing client base until you can say... "I'm sorry... I'm not taking new clients."

An SBI!-built Theme-Based Content Site is perfect because every service revolves around a theme.

http://service-selling.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Referrers/Finders Get paid a referrer or finder's fee by an offline business for finding a customer (or a "lead") for it. This monetization model is as classic as business itself. The Net, though, makes it far more cost-effective.

http://findersfee.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Selling Hard Goods Thinking about selling products online? Maybe you already are, but want to do better... much better? If so...

Year by year, both retailers and shoppers are moving ever more online. 65 It's the low risk, easy, efficient way to sell. And, for shoppers, it's the ideal way to buy (fast, convenient, reliable, endless variety, cheap).

So why do 98% of small business online retailers fail? And why is this little-known, disastrous "98%-fail" statistic good news for YOUR audience?

http://hardgoods.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Selling E-goods E-books (especially non-fiction "how to"), e-photos (booming!) scans, niche software, etc. The whole "digital goods for sale" space is soaring. --> Anything can be digitized -- sell it.

http://egoods.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Sales/Rentals

Whether you represent villa rentals in Tuscany, medical imaging manufacturers, or the services of computer programmers, you CAN sell or rent effectively online.

http://sales-rentals.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Do you reach small business people who already have Web sites? Challenge them to put their sites (or sites of friends or colleagues) to the traffic test that we call the...

"Get to the Alexa Point Test"

http://traffic-test.sitesell.com/strategic4.html

o Invite your visitors/readers/friends/colleagues to compare SBI!s' feature set with Yahoo! Web Hosting Pro, Verisign Web Business Expert and Microsoft bCentral Professional. The difference is striking...
