THREE KEYS TO GREATNESS by Jim Rohn

Eight years ago I went into the studio and recorded a 56-minute video
for teenagers called "Three Keys To Greatness." Although my focus
was for teenagers, the principles I shared certainly apply to adults
as well.
Recently I was asked to list these three things using one to two
sentences for each. Now for your benefit here they are again.

1) Setting Goals. I call it the view of the future. Most people,
including kids, will pay the price if they can see the promise of the
future. So we need to help our kids see a well-defined future, so
they will be motivated to pay the price today to attain the rewards
of tomorrow. Goals help them do this.

2) Personal Development. Simply making consistent investments in our
self-education and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout
our lives. I suggest having a minimum amount of time set aside for
reading books, listening to audiocassettes, attending seminars,
keeping a journal and spending time with other successful people.
Charlie Tremendous Jones says you will be in five years the sum total
of the books you read and the people you are around.

3) Financial Planning. I call it the 70/30 plan. After receiving your
paycheck or paying yourself, simply setting aside 10% for saving, 10%
for investing and 10% for giving, and over time this will guarantee
financial independence for a teenager.

If a young person, or for that matter an adult, focused on doing
these three simple things over a long period of time I believe they
will be assured success!

To Your Success,
