1. This Week's Jumpstart
I was privileged to be part
of a remarkable event one year ago this week in Anaheim CA -
The Jim Rohn Weekend Leadership Event. Along with Jim, Brian
Tracy and several other great presenters, I spent 2 hours on
the topic of "Leadership in Action - How to Outthink,
Outperform, Outserve and Outlast the Competition". I also
participated with Jim in a Q & A Lunch, and then with Jim,
Charlie "Tremendous" Jones and Chris Widener in a Special
Teenager Session "The Winning Generation, Why Now is the
Best Time in History To Be a Teenager" (including a 2 minute
rap version of a poem I wrote for the teenagers). I was also
part of the "magical" final day Speakers Roundtable -
Featuring Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones,
Donna Krech, Jerry Clark, Vic Johnson, the audience and me.
I also did two behind the scenes interviews!
That sounds like a lot, but remember this program was 3 full
days and is covered on 24 hours of DVD.
In today's issue I've included excerpts from this event in
our Champion Within article and Seeds of Greatness quotes -
I know you will enjoy and benefit from them.
I consider the event last year as one of the best events I
have ever been a part of in my 25+ years of speaking. This
week you can take advantage of a very special One-Year
Anniversary Offer - scroll down to #5 below.

2. The Champion Within
Article
Problems are a Normal Part of Change by Denis Waitley
(Excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn Weekend Event CD/DVD
Package)
When asked, "How do you develop mental toughness in life?",
my response might sound negative at first when I answer,
"Always be prepared for a surprise. The surprise might be a
negative surprise. Something is going to happen in your day,
whether you are late because you got stuck behind a train or
your car had a flat tire -- something is going to happen...
And the key is your ability not to take mole hills and look
at them as mountains."
Problems are a normal part of change. Things are changing so
rapidly that there are going to be problems you face. So you
must look at failure as an event, not as a person. I'm not a
failure. Maybe I've had a failure or a temporary
inconvenience. I've had a stumbling block, and the idea is
to turn the stumbling block into a stepping stone, and step
on it instead of stumble over it. So look at failure as the
fertilizer of success.
Fertilizer stinks, it smells. You see that guy putting it on
his lawn and you say, "Wow, that guy fertilized his lawn."
You fertilize your mistakes. You don't wallow in them, lay
in them, roll in them; you pick yourself up off your
mistakes and learn from them. You try not to repeat that
same thing again. But you look at it as a temporary
inconvenience, as a detour -- a detour in life -- not as a
failure."

3. Seeds of Greatness by
Denis Waitley (Excerpted from the 2004 Jim Rohn
Weekend Event CD/DVD Package)
Q: "What is happiness and how do you get it?"
A: "That's
just it--you can't drive it, you can't wear it, you can't
live in it, you can't drink it, smoke it, snort it, you
can't travel to it. Happiness is the experience of the
journey. The experience of happiness is the result of how
you look at things. When I look at something I say, can do,
no problem; that's not going to make me unhappy. Happiness
is a choice!" -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004
Event, DVD 1 and/or CD 2, Track 11
"The confidence you need is belief in your potential. If you
see world class potential in yourself, you'll put in the
effort. If you don't see the potential, you won't put in the
effort and you'll wait for the performance, and the
performance always follows the belief in self." -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004 Event, DVD 2 and/or CD 3,
Track 8
"Life is a do it with God, to myself, for others project."
-- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004 Event, DVD 2
and/or CD 3, Track 2
"The winning generation is generation D--digital, ipod, mp3,
download, instant, video, streaming, knowledge, available,
PLUS high touch. High touch - if you always give more in
service than you expect to be paid, you'll always have
plenty of money, because people pay for service and value,
and they'll pay enormously for your talent and your
knowledge." -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004
Weekend Event Teenager Session - The Winning Generation, DVD
5 and/or CD 9, Track 1
"The great thing about this God-given imagination is that
you have the ability to play it right in advance and
correct, without actually falling or failing." -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004 Event, DVD 2 and/or CD 4,
Track 8
"The real champions in life are so humble and gracious. They
just continue doing what they do without all the posturing.
If you've got the real thing, you don't have to flaunt a
loud imitation." -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004
Event, DVD 2 and/or CD 4, Track 9
"You've got the vicious cycle or the victor's circle. Let's
get out of the vicious cycle. We imagine ourselves to be
successful. We preplay it by simulation. We rehearse; we
drill; we practice; we perform. Sometimes, we perform well.
We feedback with reinforcement. Sometimes we do poorly--more
input needed--always to the imagined desired result, always
to the outcome we want, never punishing ourselves in the
downward spiral. Winners imagine through goals, simulate
through rehearsal, perform and then feed back." -- Denis Waitley, excerpted from the 2004 Event, DVD 2 and/or CD 4,
Track 7

4. The
Winner's Edge Coaching Tips
Welcome to week eight of our Ten Action Steps to Optimism.
Internalize these tips to create the optimism within and as
you do, let it radiate outward, illuminating not only your
life but also those the lives of those around you! This
week's tip is:
Visualize, think and speak well of your health. Use positive
self-talk on a daily basis. Don't dwell on your own small
ailments such as colds, headaches, cuts, bruises, muscle
pulls, sprains and minor abrasions. If you pay too much
attention to these occurrences they will reward you by
becoming your best friends, coming often to pay their
respects.
What the mind harbors, the body manifests. This is
especially important when you are raising children. Focus on
the well family, and dwell on health as the usual
environment around your house. I have seen more
psychosomatic illnesses in homes where the parents dote on
and smother the children with undue concern for their health
and safety than in any other type of household. I believe in
safety precautions and sound medical practice. I also
believe that "your worst" or "your best" concerns will
likely come to pass.
So this week keep your mind tuned to healthful thoughts and
reap the benefits of good health -- both mentally and
physically!
