if you wanna be
wealthy & happy
the rest of your life
just learn this lesson well..
Learn to work harder
on yourself
than you do
on your job.
I have found
in my experience
that income
does not
far exceed
personal development
now sometimes
income
takes a lucky jump
but sure enough
unless you grow
out where it is
it'll usually
come back
where you are
life has strange ways..
if somebody
hands you a
$1,000,000
best you
become a
millionaire
quickly!
so you get to keep
the money
otherwise
sure enough
it'll disappear..
Somebody
once said..
if you took
all the money
in the world
divided it up
equally
among everybody
it would soon
all be back
in the same
pockets..
Success
is something
you attract,
not something
you pursue.
So instead
of going
after it,
you work on yourself
personal development
because
true happiness
is not contained
in what you get
happiness
is contained
in what you
become
Now if you're exited,
and you're
ready to change
let me give you
3 steps
to start
life change
that can change
your life
your personality
your lifestyle
everything can change
Here's the steps:
Number 1
Find out
how
things
work
to change your life really
you need ideas
there isn't anything
an idea
can't change
and Shoaff taught me
the MAJOR problem
is lack of
an idea
not a problem.
at first
I didn't have
any money
I said to Mr Shoaff:
"I don't have any money.."
He said:
"That's not a problem"
Now see
up until then
I always thought
it was..
right?
I was confused!
He said:
"No, no,
the problem is
lack of an idea
on how to create
money & wealth.
It isn't lack of money,
it's lack of ideas!
So if you get the ideas
see you can
change anything!
Now to get ideas..
you need
a constant study
of finding out."
If you wish
to be
successful,
study success!
If you wish
to be happy,
study happiness!
If you wish
to be wealthy,
study wealth!
Don't leave it to chance..
Make it a study!
Some people
just go through the day
with their
fingers crossed..
See that won't do it.
You've got to study
the things
that can change
your economic
social
spiritual
personal
life
Now Shoaff also said:
"When you find out
something that works,
put the information
in your journal.
Don't use your head
for a filing cabinet.
Put it in your journal
so that you can do
the next best thing:
Repetition, repetition
repetition.
Go over it."
And if you repeat it
go over it
sure enough
someday
some mysterious day
the idea takes root
starts to grow
and shows up
in your bank account
and your dress
and your personality
and your lifestyle.
Now if you're curious..
let me give you
3 ways to find out
how to change
anything
any life direction
any dimension
here's 3 ways
to find out
how to change
anything:
Number 1
is to read
all of the
successful people
I know
and work with
around the world
they're all good readers.
Curiosity
drives them
to read
they gotta know!
They just
read read
read read
read
become self-educated
standard education
will get you
standard results..
and you can check
those numbers
and see if that's
what you want,
but if you want to
go beyond that..
you now have
got to become
self-educated.
One way to learn
is from your
own experiences,
but another
way to learn
is from
other
people's
experiences.
See 1 book
might save you
5 years
if you read it
Did you know
there's books
on how to be
stronger,
more decisive,
be a speaker,
be a leader,
have a better effect
on other people,
develop your personality,
did you know
there's books on that?
Did you know
that 100s of
successful people
have written
their stories
in books
and they wrote down
how they did it
and people
don't
read it..
How would you
explain that?
Now you don't
have to read
half the night
but put this
in your notes
30 minutes a day
read something positive
something challenging
something inspirational
something instructional
at least 30 minutes
a day.
Become a
good reader
Now that's my opinion,
listen to
the other lecturers
and listen to me
and make up
your own mind.
Don't be a follower,
be a student.
Here's the 2nd way
to find out
how to change your life:
and that's to listen.
Get around
successful people and
listen
Now you can
also learn from
unsuccessful people
take notes on both
negative and positive.
Find out
what poor people read
and don't read it!
Right?
That's good information!
learn from the negative
but now
you can also learn
from the positive
get around successful people
listen to
what they say
listen to
how they say it.
It's important.
Now here's some
of the best advice
I've got for the
whole evening..
Poor people
ought to take
rich people
out to dinner
and listen..
That's some of the best I got,
[laughter]
but you're right..
poor people
don't usually take
rich people
out to dinner
The guy said:
"He's rich
let him buy
his own dinner!
I'm not coming up
with any money!"
[laughter]
"You're lucky
to get your own supper,
let alone
running around
trying to find
a rich man
to feed!"
[laughter]
And the guy is behind..
If a guy
is not doing well
one of the
first things
he ought to do
is find a guy
that is doing well
and offer
to buy him
his dinner
spend 50
spend 60 spend 80
100 dollars
go for the full
nine course.
If you get
a successful person
to eat and talk
for 2 hours
they're liable
to drop ideas
in your lap
change your life
Multiply
your income
by 2 by 3 by 5
but you're right..
poor people
don't usually take
rich people
out to dinner..
Now here's
the 3rd way to find out
how to change your life:
And that's to observe.
You can pick up
a lot of ideas
just by watching..
Get around
successful people
and watch!
Here's why..
success leaves clues
Watch how the man
shakes hands,
watch how the lady
responds
people who do well
do certain things
over and over
and over
and if you're clever..
you can pick them up!
Watch it all!
If a guy
is making
$10,000 a month
I'd watch
how he walks..
Maybe that's it!
Copy his funny little walk
Somebody says:
"Well that's kind of
a silly walk"
Say, "It's 10,000!"
I haven't got
the money yet..
but I got the walk!
It's bound
to start
somewhere..
What I ask you tonight
is to be unusual
and be a good observer
of what's going on.
You can pick up
ideas that can
change your life
starting tomorrow!
Just be
a more careful
observer.
Now remember
there's 2 ways to see:
One is called
sight see with your eyes
the other one is called
insight see with your mind
See with your eyes
you'll see things,
see with your mind
you'll see answers
Put your eyes
and your mind
to work..
and the best advice
on developing
sight and insight is
pay attention
don't miss anything
Wherever you are..
be there
excellent!
Now we've lingered
a little bit long
on number 1 here
for personal development.
Find out how things work
but it's so
very important
finding out
and I've given you
3 ways to find out
now here's
the 2nd step to
personal development
Okay, number 1 was:
find out how things work
here's number 2:
Go to work!
If there's
one thing
to get excited over
that's it:
Get excited over
your ability
to make
your
self
do the
necessary
things
What could you
make yourself do
starting tomorrow
that would change it all?
No telling!
Now see
that's exciting!
On any given day
you can
massively change
the direction
of your life.
Now here's the key to discipline
start with the
little disciplines
get excited over
the little disciplines
and get
right on those
because those
will lead to the big ones..
You can't handle
the big challenges
in life
unless you take on
the little ones.
Make a list
of all the things
you can do,
get right on those,
discipline yourself
for those,
both for the results
and for the muscle
and for the practice
so that when life
hands you some
big challenges
you'll be ready
you'll have the muscle.
But see
if you don't handle
the small ones..
you can't take care
of the big ones.
Here's what else it takes
for life change:
self-motivation
key phrase
self-motivation
I don't know why
we call it
'self-motivation'
it's really the only kind
there is..
you got to motivate
yourself!
And you don't
want to give
self-motivation away
to somebody else
and make it
somebody else
motivating you..
The guy says:
"Boy, if somebody
just come by
and turn me on."
What if they
don't show up?
Right?
See you got
to have a better plan
for your life.
You must now
take action
on what you found out.
Don't let your learning
lead to knowledge
you'll become a fool,
let your learning
lead to action
you can become wealthy.
And there's many
kinds of wealth
I understand that
not just money,
money is one
of the least
of all values.
I know some people
with a lot of money
that are
very poor..
Now here's the 3rd step
to personal development,
and we'll wrap up
personal development.
Step number 3..
it's just a little caution
and all through life
we need little cautions.
This one simply says:
Don't try to beat
the system.
Find out how it works
Work it
But don't try
to beat it..
Some people learn
just enough
to start slicing it shading it
thinning it
cutting corners
and looking for
cheap answers..
See don't fall for that..
you'll wind up
with a cheap life!
Find out how it works best
and do it that way.
Even though
it seems to take
a little longer
do it right,
don't compromise
with right..
So if I had
a word with you tonight
one on one
just you and me..
I think my
personal advice
to you would be..
This year
1981
reach down
inside of
you!
And come up
with some more
of those remarkable
human gifts.
They're there!
Waiting to be utilized!
And then
change anything
for you
you want to change.
And I challenge you
to do that
because
you can change!
See you don't ever
have to be
the same again
after tonight
only by choice.
Starting tomorrow
what are you
going to do,
that will make a change
in your life's direction?
Good question!
What are you
going to do
starting tomorrow
that will make
a difference?
Now see
if you don't
do something
starting tomorrow
that will make
a differenc
guess what...
it's gonna be
the same.
And see
that way
you can guess
what the next
5 years
are gonna be like..
look at the last
5
are gonna be
like the last 5
unless
you
MAJOR key
tomorrow
change it all!
Or change a little
or change something
or don't change
it's choice time!
You can do
whatever you want!
But it's nice to know
any day you wish
you can change
your whole life.
