PROFITS ARE BETTER THAN WAGES by Jim Rohn



My mentor, when I was 25 years old, dropped a phrase on me
that changed my life forever when he said, "Profits are better
than wages. Wages will make you a living, profits can make
you a fortune." You know it is a bit difficult to get rich on
wages, but anybody can get rich on profits. Profits change
your whole attitude, even if you start part-time. Whether it's
part-time on your entrepreneurial business, network marketing
company or service business.

It can be a landscape business in the summer or hanging
Christmas lights in the winter. It can be training, consulting
or tutoring. It can be your hobby such as painting, writing,
crafts, woodworking, computers or cooking. But once you start
investing even part-time effort into your own business, you
will find how much more exciting it is to get up in the
morning and go to work on your fortune, even if you're only
spending a few hours a week doing it.

How empowering it is to be able to go to work on your fortune
every day rather than going to work to pay the rent. Now - it
is noble to go to work to pay the rent, but if you could also
parcel out part of your time - go to work to make your
fortune. Your whole attitude changes; your spirit changes. It
is in your voice. It is in your face. It is in your gestures.
And then you can say, "I am now working full-time on my job
and part-time on my fortune because I found a way to make
profits." Wow!

And I will know what you mean.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
