My favorite business philosopher is Jim Rohn. Jim Rohn has some great ideas to share and one of his simplest and most powerful is the 5 steps from Average to Fortune. I decided to adopt and integrate these ideas in to my own daily life. I feel that they are important and I would like to share some with you.
Average to Fortune can be summed up in these 5 steps:
Get Serious - Don't be grim but be serious. There is no substitute for this. You must be serious about designing your future. How far do you want to go? What do you want to do economically? What do you want to share? If you want to design the future, you have to get serious. 10 years from now you will surely arrive, the question is where? To answer this question, you have to get serious.
Get Smart - To make life worthwhile, you must get smart. To succeed professionally, you have to learn the sales skills, get the experience, absorb the product knowledge. To succeed personally you have to commit to personal growth so you have to continue to work on yourself. Today more than ever, the future belongs to the people who get smart. The key is to be wiser this year than you were last year, and wiser still than you were two years ago.
Get Going - All the things you have learned will do nothing for you unless you put them into action. Some people are always learning but don't go into action. You have to have an action plan and get going. Design your days, design you weeks and design your months.
Get Excited - Not just the false enthusiasm of positive thinking but attitude. Get excited about your ability to make yourself do the necessary things. Discipline is major step one toward major personal progress. No telling what you can accomplish today, if you really wish to. Get excited about your potential.
Get Away - There is an important thing called life balance. Learn to get away and reflect and truly absorb what you have learned. Some people have money but they don't know how to spend it. Some people have time, but they don't know how to spend it. It's called lifestyle. Take time to re-charge your batteries, enjoy your family and remind yourself why you want to work so hard to be successful in the first place.
