Jim Rohn-It’s Possible- Work Harder On Yourself Than You Do On Your Job.
Now when most people hear the quote “Work Harder On Yourself than You Do On Your Business.” They think of the Great Jim Rohn. And yes, I do listen to Jim Rohn regularly and I have heard that very same quote many times, as a matter of a fact, Jim’s exact quote is; Work harder on yourSelf than you do on your job.
Nevertheless, when I first heard it, the person I heard it from was not Jim Rohn, it was my friend and mentor Reiki Pete. And the words were completely different, but the message was the same. Pete’s words to me were Joseph, Joseph, Joseph Keep the focus on “Yourself” and watch how everything else gets better. My first thought was; This Guy Is NUTZ!
My life at this time was a catastrophe, my wife wasn’t well, plus she wanted NOTHING to do with me, I had some very disturbing legal issues going on, I was unemployed and I was about to lose my house and my poor kids were in the middle of this big mess. How the heck was keeping the focus on myself, going to make things better?
Now here’s the miracle.
Out of desperation, a little hope and an inkling of faith, I decided to keep an open mind and do what was suggested. I was told to take an honest look at myself, and clean house. Start righting my wrongs. Get rid of all of my resentments and handle my challenges with love, tolerance and understanding.
Another very powerful quote came from another mentor and friend. This guy is a retired older gentleman, (Richie, B) who decided to open up a painting business at the age of 65. On the side of this work truck, he didn’t have business lettering, all it said was; Change Your thinking and Chance your world. Rich always keep a stack of James Allens Book, As A Man Thinketh, in his vehicles. He’s been handing them out for over 20 years. And of course I read it, again and again and again. So I did change my thinking and my world changed for the better.
The Big Pay Off,
You see, I was able to get into one of the most rewarding relationship of my life. I got into a relationship with myself, yes me. I learned how to love myself first. And it’s funny because today, the more I work on myself the better things get, and I mean, everything!
My relationships, Health, finances, social standing in my community and the communication with my higher power has all improved 100% because of me working on myself first before anything else including my online home based business.
So here it is. Is it easy? No! But then again, anything worth wild is never easy; however it gets easier with time. Is it worth it? Definitely!
Here’s the thing. It’s a life long journey; well at least I think it is. It also seems like it’s something that I tend to do all day every day. It tends to make life much easier and better, not only for me but everybody else that I come in contact with. So I’m not the only one that benefits from my actions.
Now as far as your concerned. I wouldn’t listen to me, who the heck am I? Listen to the greats, like Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins and Les Brown just to mention a few. To tell you the truth, I never heard of these guys until I started on this great journey. So if you’re looking for a place to begin. Look up those guys I just mentioned, read their books, listen to the audios and study, discover, love and most of all, have fun with you. You won’t call it work, you’ll call it, a pleasure.
Take Care God Bless and I’ll See YOU on the Road to Success.
