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,
Jim Rohn
