Life is Art

Life is Art by Jim Rohn

In my years teaching people to be successful, I have seen that basically people break their lives down into two major parts: wealth- building and the rest of their lives. Having done a lot of reflection on these two topics—wealth and life—I am coming to some new conclusions about how to perceive the two.

Until recently I thought that there was a significant difference in how we should tackle the two areas. In fact, I thought that the two topics should be addressed in almost opposite fashion.

You see, wealth-building is just math. While life—Life is art.

Think back with me to high school. Most of us were required to take math and most of us probably took art as well.

Now, think about your final exams in the two areas. Your math paper was graded on hard facts:

Ten times ten is always one-hundred.
Thirty divided by three is always ten.
Seven plus seven is always fourteen.
Fifty minus twenty-five is always twenty-five.







There is always just one answer in math. The answers are hard fact, set in stone. Math is a science. It is formulaic. You can know the outcome before it happens, every time.

But what about your final art project? Art is much more subjective. "Beauty," they say, "is in the eye of the beholder." There is no one right answer.

Think of the different styles of the famous artists:

Renoir. Monet. Picasso. Rockwell. Warhol.

Different people find different styles beautiful, and that is what makes art, art.

So how does this fit with wealth-building and life? Wealth-building is like math:

If you add $1,000 to your retirement account each month and gain 7 percent interest over 20 years, you can know now how much you will have then. It is math. If you buy a rental property for $200,000 now and it increases in value by 3 percent a year, you know exactly how much you will be able to sell it for in 10 years. The beauty of math is in the knowing. You can work the system, set it on auto-pilot and the math does the work for you, and you know the outcome.

But life? Life is art. And that is the beauty of life. You do not know how it is going to turn out. Life, like art, is always changing. Different people provide different colors. When you make a mistake, you can go back, erase it or even paint right over it. You can change the scenery. Life, like art, is ever evolving, and what looks good to one person is of no interest to another. And that is what makes life beautiful.

Another lesson I think we can draw is that in life we should do our math, of course, but life isn't made up of just wealth-building. Wealth-building should serve our ability to live our lives. Jesus, the master teacher, said that our lives are not made up of the abundance of our possessions. He didn't mean that possessions aren't good, just that wealth isn't what life is all about.

So let me ask you: Are you spending more time on your math or your art? Do your math. Everybody should do their very best at their wealth-building plan so they can take care of themselves and their families.

But life is about the art. What does your canvas look like? What kind of picture are you painting? What kind of pot are you creating? What kind of statue are you sculpting? Take your time, make bold strokes, use brilliant colors, and make of your life the most beautiful masterpiece that you can.

In other words, do your math so you can focus on your art.



Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn

Sowing and Reaping

You must get good at one of two things: sowing in the spring or begging in the fall.

God has the tough end of the deal. What if instead of planting the seed you had to make the tree? That would keep you up late at night, trying to figure that one out.

Plant, don't chant.

One of my good friends always says, "Things don't just happen; things happen just."

The soil says, "Don't bring me your need, bring me your seed."

"Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of more than 365 quotes on 60 topics gathered from Jim's personal journals, seminars and books and spanning more than 40 years.

"Here's what is exciting about sharing ideas with others: If you share a new idea with ten people, they get to hear it once and you get to hear it ten times." —Jim Rohn

Making the Most of Today by Denis Waitley

What each of us is doing this minute is the most important event in history for us. We have decided to invest our resources in THIS opportunity rather than in any other.

It is helpful to remember this when we consider the passage of time. As I write this, my mother is in her 80s and I will never see 50 again. As the years pass, I am acutely aware that the bird of time is on the wing. At my 40th high school reunion, I saw people who claimed to be my former classmates. We all had big name tags printed in capital letters so we wouldn't have to squint with our reading glasses on trying to associate the name with each well-traveled face. It was only yesterday that I was really enjoying high school. What had happened to the four decades in between? Where had they flown?


To the side of the bandstand, where the big-band sound of the late 1940s and 1950s blared our favorite top-10 hits, there was a poster with a printed verse for all of us to see. I read the words aloud: "There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension."

"One of these days is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone."

"The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control."

"This leaves only one day, TODAY. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities—Yesterday and Tomorrow—that we break down."

"It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad, it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore… Live this one full TODAY."

Malcolm Forbes believed the important thing is "never say die until you're dead," and he lived that example to the hilt. It is, as we realize when we suddenly attend our 40th high school reunion, a short journey.

But it is difficult to be depressed and active at the same time. So get active! Live TODAY.




"It's best to start the discipline of generosity when the amounts are small. It's easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; it's a little harder to give a hundred thousand out of a million."—Jim Rohn

What is your price?

Life is not measured by how much one owns. Luke 12:15

Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you.

If anything costs you your faith or your family, the price is too high.

Break the Mold!

Joe Hadechek Event 6-16-12

Thank you to all team members who attended the event in Columbus this past Saturday with Joe Hadachek.  Roughly 500 in attendance. There is a picture with him speaking on AdvoCare Ohio FB

“Break the Mold”

The variable is YOU. There is so much in the world you cannot control, but you can control your thoughts and your actions. The same wind blows on us all. It is not the wind but the set of the sail that moves our boat.

If you want to grow your check, grow yourself.

You might have to give up something now in order to get more of it later.

When faced with an opposition- someone tells you, “no, I don’t have time” THAT is the answer they need! They need TIME! Or, “I don’t have the money for this” THAT is the answer they need! They need money! Advocare can provide what they need!

Advocare is a 19 year old company that has grown 130% in the last 2 years! There has been more money paid out to DISTRIBUTORS in the last 3 years than in the first 16 years combined!!!!

Reasons people fail:

1.       Lack of communication! Plug in to events! Keep the relationship with your team!

2.       Lack of a definite purpose! Don’t be so general “I need to make money” make it concrete! I need to make x to pay my student loan.

Actions for success:

Engage your sponsor immediately! There is a successs system, and it works! Don’t try to make up a new way!

Get paid on the first 48 hours you start! Get success rolling right away! That momentum will spark you!

If you treat this business like a business it will pay you like a business. If you treat it like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby.

Here is the game plan from the Coach himself! 

1.       Define where you are at and decide where you want to go

2.       Develop a plan to get there and execute the plan (you can reach out and have all the help you need with this!)

3.       Re-evaluate the plan. You can’t start over, BUT you can always have a New Beginning!

(Sounds a little like our Ready, FIRE, AIM philosophy!!! Doesn’t it!)

Basic Fundamentals

1.       Get to advisor- start with advisor order first

2.       Make your warm market list

3.       Knowledge of products- you will sell what you use. Take what you can afford. Retail more product to afford more. How can you know what it does unless you take it?

4.       Employ your sponsor- 3 items or “triangle” of success- Nutritional mixer or 24 day challenge launch events, 3 way calls, 2 on 1’s.

5.       Use your tools!

a.       Impact magazine

b.      DVD

c.       Spark catalog and product catalog

d.      Development tools- debt busters, Succeed- (Stories of Diamonds)

6.       Get yourself to an event! You can’t take someone somewhere YOU’VE never been! Plug in!

a.       CIA calls on Wednesdays

b.      Team calls

c.       Live Webinars

d.      Bonus calls/Webinars you can forward

e.      Face to face chat (skype, etc)

f.        Nutritional mixers- live event

g.       Quick start event

h.      Mixers

i.         Regional Events

j.        SUCCESS SCHOOL!!

Success leaves clues! There are characteristics of champions that you would want to recruit!

They are Coachable, have Desire, have a Disgust, have a sense of Urgency, they are Money Motivated, they Care about others, they are Self-motivated.

The question on Success School is NOT “can I afford to go?”  It is “can I afford to NOT GO?”

Look at your life in the last 5 years. Without any change, it is a good indicator of what your life will be like the NEXT 5 years. DO YOU NEED A CHANGE?!

Reaping a Multiple Reward by Jim Rohn

For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. That's one of life's great arrangements. In fact, it's an extension of the Biblical law that says that if you sow well, you will reap well.

Here's a unique part of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Not only does it suggest that we'll all reap what we've sown, it also suggests that we'll reap much more. Life is full of laws that both govern and explain behaviors, but this may well be the major law we need to understand: for every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards.

What a concept! If you render unique service, your reward will be multiplied. If you're fair and honest and patient with others, your reward will be multiplied. If you give more than you expect to receive, your reward is more than you expect. But remember: the key word here, as you might well imagine, is discipline.

Everything of value requires care, attention and discipline. Our thoughts require discipline. We must consistently determine our inner boundaries and our codes of conduct, or our thoughts will be confused. And if our thoughts are confused, we will become hopelessly lost in the maze of life. Confused thoughts produce confused results. Remember the law: "For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards." Learn the discipline of writing a card or a letter to a friend. Learn the discipline of paying your bills on time, arriving to appointments on time, or using your time more effectively. Learn the discipline of paying attention, or paying your taxes or paying yourself. Learn the discipline of having regular meetings with your associates, or your spouse, or your child, or your parent. Learn the discipline of learning all you can learn, of teaching all you can teach, of reading all you can read.

For each discipline, multiple rewards. For each book, new knowledge. For each success, new ambition. For each challenge, new understanding. For each failure, new determination. Life is like that. Even the bad experiences of life provide their own special contribution. But a word of caution here for those who neglect the need for care and attention to life's disciplines: everything has its price. Everything affects everything else. Neglect discipline, and there will be a price to pay. All things of value can be taken for granted with the passing of time.

That's what we call the Law of Familiarity. Without the discipline of paying constant, daily attention, we take things for granted. Be serious. Life's not a practice session.

If you're often inclined to toss your clothes onto the chair rather than hanging them in the closet, be careful. It could suggest a lack of discipline. And remember, a lack of discipline in the small areas of life can cost you heavily in the more important areas of life. You cannot clean up your company until you learn the discipline of cleaning your own garage. You cannot be impatient with your children and be patient with your distributors or your employees. You cannot inspire others to sell more when that goal is inconsistent with your own conduct. You cannot admonish others to read good books when you don't have a library card.

Think about your life at this moment. What areas need attention right now? Perhaps you've had a disagreement with someone you love or someone who loves you, and your anger won't allow you to speak to that person. Wouldn't this be an ideal time to examine your need for a new discipline? Perhaps you're on the brink of giving up, or starting over, or starting out. And the only missing ingredient to your incredible success story in the future is a new and self-imposed discipline that will make you try harder and work more intensely than you ever thought you could.

The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose upon yourself. Don't wait for things to deteriorate so drastically that someone else must impose discipline in your life. Wouldn't that be tragic? How could you possibly explain the fact that someone else thought more of you than you thought of yourself? That they forced you to get up early and get out into the marketplace when you would have been content to let success go to someone else who cared more about themselves.

Your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, lack of direction and ambition... or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued.

Hydration is KEY

Drink your water
And then again
And again....

You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you. Isaiah. 26:3

David and Goliath.....powerful lesson: what fits others might not fit you! Just because someone gives you advice, a job, or a promotion, you don't have to accept it.

Strengthening Relationships Through Understanding

Helpful Tips from Mike Rao, The Growth Coach of Northern Ohio
I highly recommend and personally endorse Mike....he is coaching me to be a better wife, mother, friend and leader.

Strengthen relationships today, by understanding your own personality style, communication style, tendencies in relationships, and by understanding the same about your partner or loved ones.

DISC insight:

Sometimes it is difficult to recognize when love and affection are being shown to you by others, mainly when their style of showing and receiving love is different from your own.  A D-Style may launch into action, solving problems and spending their time working hard to provide for their loved ones.  However, if their S-Style partner is longing for quality time, they may feel neglected as a result. By understanding how both you and your partner show and receive love, you can begin to recognize gestures of love that you had never noticed before.  Below is a brief breakdown of the D, I, S, and C styles.  For a more in-depth analysis, please contact me directly.

Is your partner a D-Style?

A D-Style is likely to show their love in a tangible way (problem solving, providing, giving you experiences or gifts).  A D-Style is likely to want to receive love through supportive gestures and appreciative words.

• Try to be active together.  They have forward momentum and enjoy action.
• Take time to set goals together. This is something they'll enjoy doing with you.
• Help with the details.  They're big picture people.
• Try to speak their language when communicating. They don't have a lot of patience for the fine details and may avoid overly emotional conversations.
• Stand up for yourself.  They'll respect it.
• Show appreciation.  Their time is very important to them, and they feel recognized when you thank them for their actions. Make sure they deserve it of course.  

Is your partner an I-Style?

An I-Style is likely to show their love through verbal and physical expression, making you smile, and having fun, shared experiences.  They likely want to be shown love in a similar way.

• Avoid harsh or intense tone and body language. Rejection is their biggest fear.
• Show physical expression and give hugs.  They both give and receive love in this way.
• Socialize or support their need for socialization. Their desire is to be with people.
• Help them with organization and time management.  They suffer in this area and will appreciate your help.
• Be romantic, expressive or creative with your gestures.  The I-Style can think outside the box.
• Tell them how you feel.  They are great talkers and are usually in touch with their emotional side.

Is your partner an S-Style?

An S-Style is likely to show their love through spending quality time with you, listening, being supportive, and through verbal and physical affection.  They likely want to be shown love in a similar way.

• Spend time with them.  They often show and want to be shown love through quality time.
• Don't make sudden, drastic changes.  They can adapt, but do not like or easily accept big changes.  Give them time.
• Take time to listen to them.  They are excellent listeners.  However, they may truly open up if you give them space to talk.
• Ask them for their opinion.  They are quite humble and often happy to observe your opinion, but enjoy sharing theirs when non-confrontational space is created.
• Be thoughtful.  The S-Style is often thinking of others first.  It means a lot when you make a thoughtful gesture for them in return.
• Tell them you love them or appreciate them.  They are relational and enjoy personal dialog.  Verbalizing your feelings in a personal setting can go a long way.

Is your partner a C-Style?

A C-Style is likely to show their love in a tangible way, helping you with daily tasks, taking care of something for you, or perhaps offering a new system by which to accomplish a task. They will help you with information, examining a problem closer, and being a good listener.  They likely are looking for an appreciation for their efforts and systems, and appreciate being shown love also through supportive tasks and kind gestures.

• Make an effort to be neat.  They have systems in place and appreciate when you recognize them.
• Create a safe place for them to express themselves.  They are non-confrontational, but do have an opinion.  They open up to those they trust.
• Be specific when communicating.  A C-style will respond best to concrete examples and detailed information.  They are problem-solvers and contemplate decisions slowly and carefully.
• Create routine. Give time for change.  They will adapt, but do not like drastic changes.  It's easier if they can understand the reasoning and logic behind it and are given time to process.
• Relax together.  They are calm and steady people, who enjoy their peaceful time, and even their space.

Be thoughtful.  They will enjoy "doing" things for you and completing tasks.  Return the favor through thoughtful gestures.

Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you. 1 Peter 5:7

God has gifted you with talents. He has done the same to your neighbor. If you concern yourself with your neighbor's talents, you will neglect yours. But if you concern yourself with yours, you could inspire both.

He Still Moves Stones

Winning Is

Winning is never whining

Winning is coming in fourth, exhausted but excited, because you came in fifth last time

Winning is being glad you're you

Winning is a feeling, there is no ceiling

Winning is beginning, and by beginning, the game is half won

Winning is all in the attitude!!!!
