if you will change everything will
change for you you don’t have to change
what’s outside all you’ve got to change
is what’s inside to have more you simply
have to become more and then he said
don’t wish it was easier wish you were
better don’t wish for less problems wish
for more skills start working on
yourself making these personal changes
and he said it’ll all change for you so
let’s talk a little bit about personal
development that extraordinary adventure
I undertook starting at age 25 and I’ve
never ceased that adventure I’m still
going for it in the 90s I want to get
better and better
I want my craft to get better my
business operations to get better the
things I do to get better because once I
picked up the simple formula I’m telling
it’s easy to figure out where the
problem is if you go to work on it now
let’s talk about personal development
and in helping kids understand personal
development I always start with money
now money’s not the only place to start
money certainly isn’t the only value but
we’ve all got to start somewhere and
money something you can count right kids
are interested in money okay a lot of
things are a little tougher to measure
but economics is pretty easy right
because you can count okay somebody says
how are you doing so I don’t know let’s
count now this is not the only count I
understand that there’s a lot of other
things to count but to see if there may
be some errors in your judgment and lack
of disciplines in your life we might as
well start with money because it’s so
easy to count so let’s just start there
and see whether or not maybe we have
messed up okay so here’s how I explained
it to kids we get paid for bringing
value to the marketplace key to
understanding economics we get paid for
reality the marketplace
now it takes time it takes time to bring
value to the marketplace but we don’t
get paid for time it’s very important
for kids to understand as well as adults
we don’t get paid for time mistakenly
the man says well I’m making about $20
for an hour not true not true if that
was true you could just stay home have
them send your money no it’s not true
you don’t get paid for the hour you get
paid for the value you put in the time
so we don’t get paid for time we get
paid for value now since that’s true
here’s one of the key questions of the
afternoon
is it possible to become twice as
valuable and make twice as much money in
the same time is it possible to become
three times as valuable as you know are
and make three times as much money in
the same time is that possible of course
if you want to really emphasize
something that’s a good phrase story of
course of course okay now all you have
to do to earn more money in the same
time and simply become more valuable
America is unique it’s a ladder to climb
big argument last year in Congress about
the starting place should be 5 should be
5 should be 5 well no it doesn’t need to
be 5 point I’ll start with 4 it’s a
ladder right this is not a bed this is a
starts at $4 now something said well
should be 5 should be 5 well maybe if
you’re going to stay at the bottom for
the rest of your life and probably
should be 5 but that’s kind of a pitiful
way to live start not grow start not
change start and not become more
valuable hey the whole scenario of life
is to start number one and what become
more valuable number two so America is a
ladder to climb starts at $4 an hour and
the more valuable you become you just
keep moving up the ladder top income
last year what 52 million guy that runs
Disney what a company pay somebody for
one year’s work 52 million dollars and
the answer is of course this is one of
those of course the places of course if
you help a company make a billion
dollars would they pay you fifty two
million answer is of course it’s chicken
feed I mean it’s not much money now why
that much money because he has become so
valuable now why would we pay somebody
only four dollars an hour they’re not
very valuable to the marketplace now we
got to make that distinction to the
marketplace might be a valuable brother
a valuable member of the community
valuable member of the church valuable
member in the sight of God to the human
family of course those kind of values
but to the marketplace which is called
what reality reality is if you’re not
those are called
I mean that’s how that is well then how
do you get more money
simple answer somebody says we’ll all go
on strike for more well here’s a major
problem with that here’s a major problem
something says well I’m waiting for a
raise
I’m telling you it’s easier to climb
then to wait for a raise
why not just become more valuable rather
than wait I’m telling you that’s the key
to all good things becoming more
valuable why would we pay somebody $400
an hour they’ve become more valuable to
the marketplace see how this works
I’m gonna this stuff is so easy this is
America this is a ladder how far is it
from four to five I’m telling it’s not
far four to five dollars an hour if you
work for McDonald’s haul out the trash
they’ll pay you five dollars an hour if
you whistle while you haul out the trash
they’ll pay you five dollars an hour I’m
telling you you’ll get an extra dollar
just for a good attitude yeah McDonald’s
wear the hat care of it five dollars and
then you just keep becoming more
valuable more valuable more valuable I
got a telephone call five years ago
company said we’re ready to expand
internationally we need some help I was
sort of semi-retired right looking for
the next exotic beach it said no no
mister owned we got a project for you
right going to expand internationally we
could use your help next little while
we’ll add some millions to your fortune
make it worth your while
I said okay
I thought later isn’t that interesting
that they called me my second thought
was of course they’d call me who else
would they call I mean you know I could
get the job done now how come how come I
got a telephone call worth millions
I had become valuable now I’m a farm boy
from Idaho I was raised in obscurity one
year of college and I thought I was
thoroughly educated made all kinds of
mistakes galore at age 25 the creditors
are calling me saying hey you told us to
check within the mail I got pennies in
my pocket I got nothing in the bank I’m
behind on my promises how come I get a
telephone call five years ago and it’s
worth millions I changed I changed I
turn my life around
is it possible to become worth millions
speaking economically now there’s a lot
of values to become but let’s just talk
economics is it possible to become that
valuable the answer is of course of
course now let me give you the secret
show said here’s a secret mr. own learn
to work harder on yourself than you do
on your job once I got that it turned my
life around learn to work harder on
yourself than you do on your job he said

known me at age 25 you would have said
Jim Rohn is a hard worker if you’d have
known me you just said that I’m the guy
I don’t mind coming a little bit early
stay a little bit late I don’t mind that
you decide well Jim Rohn is a hard
worker you say well how come he’s got
pennies in his pocket and nothing in the
bank and behind on his promises well I
was a hard worker but I was working hard
on my job not on my cell I’m telling you
