don’t be a follower be a student right
take advice but not orders take
information but don’t let somebody you
know order your life make sure what you
do is the product of your own conclusion
excellent note to make make sure what
you do is the product of your own
conclusion not to do what someone else
says take what someone else says process
it and think about it ponder it if it
makes you wonder if it makes you think
then it’s valuable then when you go take
action make sure that the action is not
what somebody told you to do make sure
the action is the product of your own
conclusion if you’ll follow just a
little bit of those simple guidelines
telling you the learning process can be
speedy swift powerful your learning
curve can go up and then applying it to
your business your life your family
conversations equities of all times
you’ll find some progress like I did
that first five years when I met a
teacher willing to share with me turn my
life around progress I couldn’t believe
happened for me okay
let’s get started I want to review I was
here last time and we talked about the
five major pieces to the life puzzle
and I just want to review those because
it lays such a good foundation for all
the rest that I want to share with you
today we’ve got a lot of subjects to
cover so we’re gonna go rather swiftly
okay put on your mental track shoes here
and run with me today because I’m going
to deal mostly in concepts expect you to
you know fill in a lot of the details
because I got a lot to share I want to
get through it all
but let’s lay this foundation again of
the five major pieces happens to be the
title of my latest book but I think it
is so valuable in laying a foundation
that some of the things I learned
between ages 25 and 30 the teacher who
taught me taught me so well he dealt in
these fundamentals we call these
fundamentals we call these basics basics
for sports fundamentals for sports
fundamentals for your business
fundamentals for the way you deal with
your family a few simple things a few
basic things that if you practice every
day can make all the difference in the
world how it works out I’ve boiled it
down to five major pieces to the life
puzzle let’s just review those number
one is falafels philosophy philosophy as
I taught the last time I was here
philosophy and my personal opinion is
the major determining factor in how your
life works out philosophy the major
determining factor in how your life
works out philosophy to form our
philosophy you got to think got to use
your mind got a process ideas and this
whole process over a lifetime starting
way back here when we were children
schools that we’ve attended our parents
our experiences all this stuff that we
processed by the thinking process helps
to develop our philosophy and in my
opinion each person’s personal
philosophy is the major factor in how
your life works out here’s what I called
it in that last presentation when I was
here it’s called the set of the sail
each person’s personal philosophy is
like the set of the sail
now I used to think of a circumstances
that ordered my life if someone would
have asked me at age 25 mr. Owen how
come you’re not doing well pennies in
your pocket creditors calling nothing in
the bank behind on your promises to your
family you live in America
25 years old got a beautiful family
every reason to do well and things are
not going that well for you what is
wrong here it would not have occurred to
me to blame my philosophy I mean it
would not have occurred to me saying
well I got this lousy philosophy and
that’s how come I got pennies in my
pocket and nothing in the bank things
aren’t working well that would not have
occurred to me I found it much easier to
blame the government much easier to
blame the tax problem I used to say
taxes are too high top tax rate when I
first started paying taxes ninety-one
percent back then when your income
reached a certain level all your income
over that ninety-one percent so I used
to say that’s too fine now the tax top
tax rates about 33 percent but people
are still saying what taxes are to see
but you can’t use that anymore if it’s
gone from 91 to 33 how could it be too
high come on I threw all that old excuse
stuff away some people found it though
and they’re using it these days my old
list I used to blame the traffic the
weather used to blame circumstances
alright people say I’m too tall I’m too
short I’m too old I was raised in
obscurity raised on a farm
parents of Mamas means all the stuff if
you had asked me how come you find
yourself here mr. Owen aged 25 living in
America land of abundance and
opportunity pennies zero in the bank not
doing well creditors calling it would
not have occurred to me to blame my
philosophy I found it easier to blame
the company company policy I used to say
if this is all they pay how do they
expect you to do well so I figured that
you know my future was going to be tied
to what everybody else was arranging
the economy and right interest rates I
used to say things cost too much that
was my whole explanation not my
philosophy until my teacher taught me
better that this is where the problem
was my own personal philosophy here’s
what’s exciting about each person’s
personal philosophy that’s what makes us
different than dogs and animals birds
and cats and spiders and alligators
that’s what makes us different than all
other life-forms the ability to think
the ability to use your mind the ability
to process ideas and not just operate by
instinct in the winter I’m telling you
the goose can only fly south what if
South doesn’t look too good tough luck
it can only fly south but see human
beings are not like a goose can only fly
south I mean you could turn around go
north you can go east you can go west
you can order the entire process of your
own life and we do that by the way we
think we do that by exercising their
mind we do that by processing ideas and
come up with a better philosophy a
better strategy for our life goals for
the future okay
plans to achieve those goals all this
comes from developing our philosophy
philosophy helps us to process what’s
available well when we get here we got
seed and we got soil and we got some
rain and we’ve got some what sunshine
and we’ve got some seasons and what the
miracle of life now the key is what do
you do with all this stuff how do you
turn all this stuff that’s available
here into equity and promise and
lifestyle and dreams and future
possibilities all of this that’s
possible now with human beings how do
you take all this stuff and turn it into
this equities and values well it starts
with philosophy
what is the seed what is the soil it is
the sunshine what is the rain is it
possible to take some of each of all the
stuff that’s available and turned it
into food and turn it into value and
turn it into nourishment turn it into
something spectacular and unique that no
other life-form can do and the answer is
yes but you cannot deal with all this
stuff and what to do with it unless you
start refining your philosophy think use
your mind come up with ideas and
strengthen your philosophy so the seed
in the soil and the rain and the
sunshine this is called you know the
economy and the banks and the money and
the schools and everything that’s
available out there processing
information what to do with all that and
turn it into equity and value that is
the major challenge of life my personal
opinion so each person’s personal
philosophy now is going to determine
what you’re gonna do with the seed and
soil and sunshine and rain miracle the
change of seasons that’s it my personal
opinion each person’s personal
philosophies like to say to the same
that’s what this seminars for today help
you to trim a better sale you don’t need
a better economy
you don’t need better seed and soil in
fact when it comes to seeding soil and
rain and sunshine and seasons in the
miracle of life that’s all you got
now what if you blame this stuff then
you’re blame and all you got if you
blame the economy and you’re playing the
schools and you blame the teachers and
you blame the sermons and the preachers
and and you blame you know the
marketplace and you blame the company
and company policy what else is there
when some people get through with their
blame list there is nothing else that’s
all there is and if you blame the only
thing you’ve got to work with I’m
telling you it’s called the mistake
colossal and not understanding that
that’s all you’ve got to work with and
if this is all you’ve got to work with
then you don’t change the seed and you
don’t change the soil and you don’t
change the rain and you don’t change the
sunshine you don’t change the sea
right guys I’ll take three Springs four
summers nine Falls no winters no you
can’t fool with this stuff you got to
take it like a tums then what do you
change to make your life work well you
got to start with your philosophy guess
what I had to do at age 25 in order to
change my own future I had to change my
mind I had to change my thinking I had
to change my philosophy I was messed up
on what was causing my problem and once
I got that straightened out that all the
stuff I blame the government and taxes
the marketplace the economy and things
cost too much negative relative cynical
neighbors once I got rid of that and
started going for where the real problem
was which was me I’m telling you my life
exploded into change my bank account
changed immediately my income changed
immediately my whole life took on a
whole new look in color immediately and
the early results I got from making
these philosophical changes tasted so
good I’ve never stopped the process from
that day until this and I’m telling you
with a little consideration of the
refinement of your sale by setting a
better sale refining your philosophy
your whole life can start to change from
today on you don’t have to wait till
tomorrow you don’t have to wait till
next month you don’t have to wait till
spring don’t have to wait till 93 you
can start this whole process immediately
I recommend it
now some people do so little thinking
they don’t even have their sale up I
mean you can imagine where they’re gonna
wind up at the end of this week at the
end of this month at the end of this
year now is the chance to change process
all this information so number one is
philosophy okay and we dealt with all
that where we get ideas from personal
experience from other people’s
experiences I don’t want to get into all
those details because we covered that
the last time I was here but philosophy
that’s number one my personal opinion
each person’s personal philosophy here’s
the definition of success and failure
just make this note
here’s failure a few errors in judgment
repeated every day now you can
automatically assume mr. Owen I say I
can understand that a few errors in
judgment repeated every day for six
years I’m with my father I think I told
the story the last time I was here my
father 88 years old he’s never been ill
still hasn’t retired not long ago
midnight we’re getting ready to go to
bed we’ve drilled a new whale got some
extra water got some more acres go on
he’s all excited at midnight we’re
getting ready to go to bed my father’s
eating what he calls his midnight snack
little bite to eat before you go to bed
don’t have to go to bed hungry and I’m
watching him eat this midnight snack
guess what he had an apple few graham
crackers and a glass of grapefruit juice
I said no wonder my father’s so healthy
my mom taught us all those good health
practices taught me when I’m growing up
right I’m an only child I’ve never been
he’ll pass the big 5o some time ago my
two daughters 3233 never been healed my
grandkids never been able to telling you
the legacy lingers on as I watch my
father have this midnight snack suddenly
occurred to me I know that’s part of it
an apple what a day that’s gotten to
Dallas Fort Worth right an apple an
apple a day keeps the doctor away good
question for this intelligent audience
what if that’s true you say well mr.
Owen if that’s true that would be easy
to do then what’s the problem it’s easy
not to do it’s easy not to adopt it as
your own personal philosophy or the guy
messed up to say guy says a Hershey bar
today
say no no you’ve been watching too much
television
it is not Hershey bar you got to be
smarter in philosophy than to fall for
the Hershey bar a day when it’s an apple
a day
you got to be smarter than that and if
you make that kind of an error in
judgment every day for six years I’m
telling you it’ll accumulate into
disaster sometimes the first year you
say well you know I’m so healthy now
what difference is it gonna make you got
to be smarter than that
just because disaster doesn’t fall on us
at the end of the first day doesn’t mean
disaster isn’t coming you got to be so
smart that you look down the road and
say will the errors in my present
judgment of philosophy what’s that gonna
cost me in one year six years one month
six months I’m telling you the money
cost and the health cost and the success
cost is two gigantic if you look down
the road a little ways and say are there
errors in my current judgment like an
apple versus a Hershey bar is that just
a good illustration of some of the rest
of my errors in judgment if it is that’s
where I found myself at age 25 I started
working when I was 19 I met my teacher
who helped turn my life around when I
was 25 that’s six years at the end of
the first six years of my economic life
I’ve got pennies in my pocket
I’ve got nothing in the bank the
creditors are calling saying hey you
told us the cheque was in the mail I’m
embarrassed I’m behind on my promises I
live in America
I’m 25 year old American male I got a
nice family every reason to do well and
I messed up now what’s messed up I used
to think it was the community that was
messed up and the country was messed up
and the government was messed up if
those Democrats ever get in the White
House that’ll really mess things up if
the Republicans stay in power that’ll
really mess things up the economy was
messed up interest rates are messed up I
thought all this stuff was messed up
then I found out that’s not what was
messed up I was criticizing the only
thing I had to work with what was really
messed up was my own personal philosophy
my own errors in judgment in my own
personal philosophy brought me in six
years
two pennies in my pocket nothing in the
thank and trying to explain why I wasn’t
doing well living in America 25 year-old
American male got a family every reason
to do well now once I understood this
here’s the formula for failure errors in
judgment being wax about developing your
own personal philosophy telling you it’s
called accumulated disaster
it does matter whether it’s your health
or your bank account guys got an empty
bank account probably has high
cholesterol why over the last six years
he never paid attention to either one
and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a
dollar or whether it’s your money or
whether it’s your cholesterol count all
you got to do is commit the errors and
just because disaster doesn’t fall on
you at the end of the first day that you
don’t eat an apple you say well I didn’t
eat an apple today and tonight I’m not
ill well you got to be brighter than
that someday you got to leave first
grade the reason we make those first
grade s so small so they won’t fit at
age 25 right you don’t fall here anymore
come on now let me give you the secret
to success the formula for failure a few
errors in judgment repeated every day
for one month starts the weakness starts
the disaster process you can imagine
what happens in six years now here’s the
formula for success a few simple
disciplines practiced
every day and you’ve started a whole new
process called a whole new life a few
simple disciplines practiced every day
and if you decide today to go for the
Apple instead of the Hershey bar I’m
telling you you have begun the process
of turning your life around and if you
keep up that process not only with your
health habits but with your money habits
and with your communication habits with
your sales habits and management habits
and every other habit that you got if
you’ll start that process eliminate the
errors and replace it with disciplines
practiced
I’m telling you can start this process
of life change immediately after today
you don’t ever have to be the same again
only by choice you don’t have to walk
out of here the same as you walked in
today only by choice you can start a
whole new process and you say well mr.
onus it’s that simple
yes it’s that simple where else would
you start but with an Apple you don’t
have to start with something staggering
what if you should be walking around the
block for your good health and you don’t
what Alette do in six years I’m telling
you the word is disaster you could and
you should and you don’t here’s an even
stronger word you won’t
I mean don’t might mean you’re careless
won’t probably means you’re stubborn and
either one’s called disaster could
should don’t I’m telling you that’s why
at the end of five years I’ve 6 years I
found myself with pennies in my pocket
nothing in the bank creditors calling
could should won’t could should don’t
it’s called disaster now how do you
change all that the next six years I got
rich the next six years I became a
millionaire by the time I’m 31 I’m a
millionaire
how about that you say well mr. Owen
what happened well strangely enough
during that second six years of my
economic life the government was about
the same
I’m telling you taxes were about the
same my negative relatives were the same
I’m telling you the economy was about
the same and prices were about the same
and everything else was about the same
circumstances were about the same
then how come I got rich how come I
totally changed my life I was not the
same somebody says well what did you go
to work on to do all that I started with
my philosophy I started amending my
errors by doing some better thinking
changing my mind coming up with ideas
that I didn’t have before I met my
teacher and once that whole process
started for me I’m telling you I changed
my whole life within a 6-year period I
was never the same
and I’ve kept up that process all these
years one of the reasons why I’m here is
to continue my craft I don’t want the
day to come some day somebody says you
should have heard Jim Rohn ten years ago
when he was really terrific guess what I
want people to say I heard him ten years
ago but you should hear him now I’m
telling you the man works on his craft
I’m telling you the man’s done some
extra reading I’m telling you the man
doesn’t miss a trick I’m telling you
he’s worked hard on himself that’s why
he’s able to deliver like he does the
same thing can happen for you as a
teenager it can happen to you as a
mother as a father as a businessperson
as a salesperson running a business
doesn’t matter
management wherever you find yourself
this is the process called personal
change and what I say to start with is
start with your own philosophy your
philosophy is going to determine whether
or not you go for the disciplines or
continue the errors that’s called
potential disaster has it within their
valor well it was so happy for me to
find out at age 25 mr. chef said mr. own
you don’t have to change countries
but you do have to change philosophy and
if you’ll change philosophy not country
you can turn around your income you can
turn around your bank account you can
turn around your skills you can become
capable powerful sophisticated healthy
influential all the other equities that
you could possibly walk out of your life
using the only stuff there is and not
trying to change any of this stuff
appreciate all of this stuff with all of
its ups and downs with all of its
mystery of why it works and sometimes it
doesn’t work don’t challenge this you
don’t have to ask for another planet you
don’t have to ask for another country
just ask for another book ask for
another seminar ask for another idea and
you can start this whole process of
personal life change now I could spend
the whole day on philosophy because
that’s where it is if I could get you
intrigued with that enough to study it
enough to ponder it to where you’d pick
up the commitment like I didn’t say hey
as simple as an apple a day as simple as
a walk around the block why not start
right there if you don’t start there
where else you going to start might as
well start where it’s easy and then go
to the more complicated disciplines
because if you can’t handle the
complicated the simple disciplines how
can you handle the complicated
you
take advice but not orders take
information but don’t let somebody you
know order your life make sure what you
do is the product of your own conclusion
excellent note to make make sure what
you do is the product of your own
conclusion not to do what someone else
says take what someone else says process
it and think about it ponder it if it
makes you wonder if it makes you think
then it’s valuable then when you go take
action make sure that the action is not
what somebody told you to do make sure
the action is the product of your own
conclusion if you’ll follow just a
little bit of those simple guidelines
telling you the learning process can be
speedy swift powerful your learning
curve can go up and then applying it to
your business your life your family
conversations equities of all times
you’ll find some progress like I did
that first five years when I met a
teacher willing to share with me turn my
life around progress I couldn’t believe
happened for me okay
let’s get started I want to review I was
here last time and we talked about the
five major pieces to the life puzzle
and I just want to review those because
it lays such a good foundation for all
the rest that I want to share with you
today we’ve got a lot of subjects to
cover so we’re gonna go rather swiftly
okay put on your mental track shoes here
and run with me today because I’m going
to deal mostly in concepts expect you to
you know fill in a lot of the details
because I got a lot to share I want to
get through it all
but let’s lay this foundation again of
the five major pieces happens to be the
title of my latest book but I think it
is so valuable in laying a foundation
that some of the things I learned
between ages 25 and 30 the teacher who
taught me taught me so well he dealt in
these fundamentals we call these
fundamentals we call these basics basics
for sports fundamentals for sports
fundamentals for your business
fundamentals for the way you deal with
your family a few simple things a few
basic things that if you practice every
day can make all the difference in the
world how it works out I’ve boiled it
down to five major pieces to the life
puzzle let’s just review those number
one is falafels philosophy philosophy as
I taught the last time I was here
philosophy and my personal opinion is
the major determining factor in how your
life works out philosophy the major
determining factor in how your life
works out philosophy to form our
philosophy you got to think got to use
your mind got a process ideas and this
whole process over a lifetime starting
way back here when we were children
schools that we’ve attended our parents
our experiences all this stuff that we
processed by the thinking process helps
to develop our philosophy and in my
opinion each person’s personal
philosophy is the major factor in how
your life works out here’s what I called
it in that last presentation when I was
here it’s called the set of the sail
each person’s personal philosophy is
like the set of the sail
now I used to think of a circumstances
that ordered my life if someone would
have asked me at age 25 mr. Owen how
come you’re not doing well pennies in
your pocket creditors calling nothing in
the bank behind on your promises to your
family you live in America
25 years old got a beautiful family
every reason to do well and things are
not going that well for you what is
wrong here it would not have occurred to
me to blame my philosophy I mean it
would not have occurred to me saying
well I got this lousy philosophy and
that’s how come I got pennies in my
pocket and nothing in the bank things
aren’t working well that would not have
occurred to me I found it much easier to
blame the government much easier to
blame the tax problem I used to say
taxes are too high top tax rate when I
first started paying taxes ninety-one
percent back then when your income
reached a certain level all your income
over that ninety-one percent so I used
to say that’s too fine now the tax top
tax rates about 33 percent but people
are still saying what taxes are to see
but you can’t use that anymore if it’s
gone from 91 to 33 how could it be too
high come on I threw all that old excuse
stuff away some people found it though
and they’re using it these days my old
list I used to blame the traffic the
weather used to blame circumstances
alright people say I’m too tall I’m too
short I’m too old I was raised in
obscurity raised on a farm
parents of Mamas means all the stuff if
you had asked me how come you find
yourself here mr. Owen aged 25 living in
America land of abundance and
opportunity pennies zero in the bank not
doing well creditors calling it would
not have occurred to me to blame my
philosophy I found it easier to blame
the company company policy I used to say
if this is all they pay how do they
expect you to do well so I figured that
you know my future was going to be tied
to what everybody else was arranging
the economy and right interest rates I
used to say things cost too much that
was my whole explanation not my
philosophy until my teacher taught me
better that this is where the problem
was my own personal philosophy here’s
what’s exciting about each person’s
personal philosophy that’s what makes us
different than dogs and animals birds
and cats and spiders and alligators
that’s what makes us different than all
other life-forms the ability to think
the ability to use your mind the ability
to process ideas and not just operate by
instinct in the winter I’m telling you
the goose can only fly south what if
South doesn’t look too good tough luck
it can only fly south but see human
beings are not like a goose can only fly
south I mean you could turn around go
north you can go east you can go west
you can order the entire process of your
own life and we do that by the way we
think we do that by exercising their
mind we do that by processing ideas and
come up with a better philosophy a
better strategy for our life goals for
the future okay
plans to achieve those goals all this
comes from developing our philosophy
philosophy helps us to process what’s
available well when we get here we got
seed and we got soil and we got some
rain and we’ve got some what sunshine
and we’ve got some seasons and what the
miracle of life now the key is what do
you do with all this stuff how do you
turn all this stuff that’s available
here into equity and promise and
lifestyle and dreams and future
possibilities all of this that’s
possible now with human beings how do
you take all this stuff and turn it into
this equities and values well it starts
with philosophy
what is the seed what is the soil it is
the sunshine what is the rain is it
possible to take some of each of all the
stuff that’s available and turned it
into food and turn it into value and
turn it into nourishment turn it into
something spectacular and unique that no
other life-form can do and the answer is
yes but you cannot deal with all this
stuff and what to do with it unless you
start refining your philosophy think use
your mind come up with ideas and
strengthen your philosophy so the seed
in the soil and the rain and the
sunshine this is called you know the
economy and the banks and the money and
the schools and everything that’s
available out there processing
information what to do with all that and
turn it into equity and value that is
the major challenge of life my personal
opinion so each person’s personal
philosophy now is going to determine
what you’re gonna do with the seed and
soil and sunshine and rain miracle the
change of seasons that’s it my personal
opinion each person’s personal
philosophies like to say to the same
that’s what this seminars for today help
you to trim a better sale you don’t need
a better economy
you don’t need better seed and soil in
fact when it comes to seeding soil and
rain and sunshine and seasons in the
miracle of life that’s all you got
now what if you blame this stuff then
you’re blame and all you got if you
blame the economy and you’re playing the
schools and you blame the teachers and
you blame the sermons and the preachers
and and you blame you know the
marketplace and you blame the company
and company policy what else is there
when some people get through with their
blame list there is nothing else that’s
all there is and if you blame the only
thing you’ve got to work with I’m
telling you it’s called the mistake
colossal and not understanding that
that’s all you’ve got to work with and
if this is all you’ve got to work with
then you don’t change the seed and you
don’t change the soil and you don’t
change the rain and you don’t change the
sunshine you don’t change the sea
right guys I’ll take three Springs four
summers nine Falls no winters no you
can’t fool with this stuff you got to
take it like a tums then what do you
change to make your life work well you
got to start with your philosophy guess
what I had to do at age 25 in order to
change my own future I had to change my
mind I had to change my thinking I had
to change my philosophy I was messed up
on what was causing my problem and once
I got that straightened out that all the
stuff I blame the government and taxes
the marketplace the economy and things
cost too much negative relative cynical
neighbors once I got rid of that and
started going for where the real problem
was which was me I’m telling you my life
exploded into change my bank account
changed immediately my income changed
immediately my whole life took on a
whole new look in color immediately and
the early results I got from making
these philosophical changes tasted so
good I’ve never stopped the process from
that day until this and I’m telling you
with a little consideration of the
refinement of your sale by setting a
better sale refining your philosophy
your whole life can start to change from
today on you don’t have to wait till
tomorrow you don’t have to wait till
next month you don’t have to wait till
spring don’t have to wait till 93 you
can start this whole process immediately
I recommend it
now some people do so little thinking
they don’t even have their sale up I
mean you can imagine where they’re gonna
wind up at the end of this week at the
end of this month at the end of this
year now is the chance to change process
all this information so number one is
philosophy okay and we dealt with all
that where we get ideas from personal
experience from other people’s
experiences I don’t want to get into all
those details because we covered that
the last time I was here but philosophy
that’s number one my personal opinion
each person’s personal philosophy here’s
the definition of success and failure
just make this note
here’s failure a few errors in judgment
repeated every day now you can
automatically assume mr. Owen I say I
can understand that a few errors in
judgment repeated every day for six
years I’m with my father I think I told
the story the last time I was here my
father 88 years old he’s never been ill
still hasn’t retired not long ago
midnight we’re getting ready to go to
bed we’ve drilled a new whale got some
extra water got some more acres go on
he’s all excited at midnight we’re
getting ready to go to bed my father’s
eating what he calls his midnight snack
little bite to eat before you go to bed
don’t have to go to bed hungry and I’m
watching him eat this midnight snack
guess what he had an apple few graham
crackers and a glass of grapefruit juice
I said no wonder my father’s so healthy
my mom taught us all those good health
practices taught me when I’m growing up
right I’m an only child I’ve never been
he’ll pass the big 5o some time ago my
two daughters 3233 never been healed my
grandkids never been able to telling you
the legacy lingers on as I watch my
father have this midnight snack suddenly
occurred to me I know that’s part of it
an apple what a day that’s gotten to
Dallas Fort Worth right an apple an
apple a day keeps the doctor away good
question for this intelligent audience
what if that’s true you say well mr.
Owen if that’s true that would be easy
to do then what’s the problem it’s easy
not to do it’s easy not to adopt it as
your own personal philosophy or the guy
messed up to say guy says a Hershey bar
today
say no no you’ve been watching too much
television
it is not Hershey bar you got to be
smarter in philosophy than to fall for
the Hershey bar a day when it’s an apple
a day
you got to be smarter than that and if
you make that kind of an error in
judgment every day for six years I’m
telling you it’ll accumulate into
disaster sometimes the first year you
say well you know I’m so healthy now
what difference is it gonna make you got
to be smarter than that
just because disaster doesn’t fall on us
at the end of the first day doesn’t mean
disaster isn’t coming you got to be so
smart that you look down the road and
say will the errors in my present
judgment of philosophy what’s that gonna
cost me in one year six years one month
six months I’m telling you the money
cost and the health cost and the success
cost is two gigantic if you look down
the road a little ways and say are there
errors in my current judgment like an
apple versus a Hershey bar is that just
a good illustration of some of the rest
of my errors in judgment if it is that’s
where I found myself at age 25 I started
working when I was 19 I met my teacher
who helped turn my life around when I
was 25 that’s six years at the end of
the first six years of my economic life
I’ve got pennies in my pocket
I’ve got nothing in the bank the
creditors are calling saying hey you
told us the cheque was in the mail I’m
embarrassed I’m behind on my promises I
live in America
I’m 25 year old American male I got a
nice family every reason to do well and
I messed up now what’s messed up I used
to think it was the community that was
messed up and the country was messed up
and the government was messed up if
those Democrats ever get in the White
House that’ll really mess things up if
the Republicans stay in power that’ll
really mess things up the economy was
messed up interest rates are messed up I
thought all this stuff was messed up
then I found out that’s not what was
messed up I was criticizing the only
thing I had to work with what was really
messed up was my own personal philosophy
my own errors in judgment in my own
personal philosophy brought me in six
years
two pennies in my pocket nothing in the
thank and trying to explain why I wasn’t
doing well living in America 25 year-old
American male got a family every reason
to do well now once I understood this
here’s the formula for failure errors in
judgment being wax about developing your
own personal philosophy telling you it’s
called accumulated disaster
it does matter whether it’s your health
or your bank account guys got an empty
bank account probably has high
cholesterol why over the last six years
he never paid attention to either one
and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a
dollar or whether it’s your money or
whether it’s your cholesterol count all
you got to do is commit the errors and
just because disaster doesn’t fall on
you at the end of the first day that you
don’t eat an apple you say well I didn’t
eat an apple today and tonight I’m not
ill well you got to be brighter than
that someday you got to leave first
grade the reason we make those first
grade s so small so they won’t fit at
age 25 right you don’t fall here anymore
come on now let me give you the secret
to success the formula for failure a few
errors in judgment repeated every day
for one month starts the weakness starts
the disaster process you can imagine
what happens in six years now here’s the
formula for success a few simple
disciplines practiced
every day and you’ve started a whole new
process called a whole new life a few
simple disciplines practiced every day
and if you decide today to go for the
Apple instead of the Hershey bar I’m
telling you you have begun the process
of turning your life around and if you
keep up that process not only with your
health habits but with your money habits
and with your communication habits with
your sales habits and management habits
and every other habit that you got if
you’ll start that process eliminate the
errors and replace it with disciplines
practiced
I’m telling you can start this process
of life change immediately after today
you don’t ever have to be the same again
only by choice you don’t have to walk
out of here the same as you walked in
today only by choice you can start a
whole new process and you say well mr.
onus it’s that simple
yes it’s that simple where else would
you start but with an Apple you don’t
have to start with something staggering
what if you should be walking around the
block for your good health and you don’t
what Alette do in six years I’m telling
you the word is disaster you could and
you should and you don’t here’s an even
stronger word you won’t
I mean don’t might mean you’re careless
won’t probably means you’re stubborn and
either one’s called disaster could
should don’t I’m telling you that’s why
at the end of five years I’ve 6 years I
found myself with pennies in my pocket
nothing in the bank creditors calling
could should won’t could should don’t
it’s called disaster now how do you
change all that the next six years I got
rich the next six years I became a
millionaire by the time I’m 31 I’m a
millionaire
how about that you say well mr. Owen
what happened well strangely enough
during that second six years of my
economic life the government was about
the same
I’m telling you taxes were about the
same my negative relatives were the same
I’m telling you the economy was about
the same and prices were about the same
and everything else was about the same
circumstances were about the same
then how come I got rich how come I
totally changed my life I was not the
same somebody says well what did you go
to work on to do all that I started with
my philosophy I started amending my
errors by doing some better thinking
changing my mind coming up with ideas
that I didn’t have before I met my
teacher and once that whole process
started for me I’m telling you I changed
my whole life within a 6-year period I
was never the same
and I’ve kept up that process all these
years one of the reasons why I’m here is
to continue my craft I don’t want the
day to come some day somebody says you
should have heard Jim Rohn ten years ago
when he was really terrific guess what I
want people to say I heard him ten years
ago but you should hear him now I’m
telling you the man works on his craft
I’m telling you the man’s done some
extra reading I’m telling you the man
doesn’t miss a trick I’m telling you
he’s worked hard on himself that’s why
he’s able to deliver like he does the
same thing can happen for you as a
teenager it can happen to you as a
mother as a father as a businessperson
as a salesperson running a business
doesn’t matter
management wherever you find yourself
this is the process called personal
change and what I say to start with is
start with your own philosophy your
philosophy is going to determine whether
or not you go for the disciplines or
continue the errors that’s called
potential disaster has it within their
valor well it was so happy for me to
find out at age 25 mr. chef said mr. own
you don’t have to change countries
but you do have to change philosophy and
if you’ll change philosophy not country
you can turn around your income you can
turn around your bank account you can
turn around your skills you can become
capable powerful sophisticated healthy
influential all the other equities that
you could possibly walk out of your life
using the only stuff there is and not
trying to change any of this stuff
appreciate all of this stuff with all of
its ups and downs with all of its
mystery of why it works and sometimes it
doesn’t work don’t challenge this you
don’t have to ask for another planet you
don’t have to ask for another country
just ask for another book ask for
another seminar ask for another idea and
you can start this whole process of
personal life change now I could spend
the whole day on philosophy because
that’s where it is if I could get you
intrigued with that enough to study it
enough to ponder it to where you’d pick
up the commitment like I didn’t say hey
as simple as an apple a day as simple as
a walk around the block why not start
right there if you don’t start there
where else you going to start might as
well start where it’s easy and then go
to the more complicated disciplines
because if you can’t handle the
complicated the simple disciplines how
can you handle the complicated
you
