"Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job" -Jim Rohn
While this philosophy may sound like pie in the sky to the casual onlooker, it's made a huge difference in the quality of my life. For the last 7 months I've spent 30-60 minutes everyday expanding my knowledge through books, magazines, CD's. Philosophy, Leadership, Health, Excercise, Nutrition, Attitude, and the list goes on.... I've employed new disciplines with a complete diet change and work out routine.
I'm in the best physical and mental condition of my life and people are noticing. The owner/broker of my company recently offered me a very good opportunity that came from the top to lead 4 more agents and increase my income substantially. He had 75 agents to pick from. In the same week, an outside company called and offered me a great opportunity to take on a bunch of new business. My team has taken notice and our cohesion has gone through the roof. They see my consistency, attitude, and work ethic and it's rubbing off and improving their production, attitude, and work ethic.
"You attract the things you have by the person you become" -Jim Rohn
If you want a better life, you must change through personal development. Every discipline effects the rest of your life. Every bad habit effects the rest of your life. New knowledge breeds confidence, new disciplines practiced everyday improve your attitude.
It doesn't happen overnight. It's really the compound effect at work. It's just like compound interest. At first you notice small improvements and depending on your hard your work at it, it won't be long until the results speak for themself.
"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons. " -Jim Rohn
