- 0:02than wages
- 0:04once i understood that i got rich
- 0:06profits are better than wages
- 0:09nobody taught me that in high school
- 0:11i went to college for a year and a half
- 0:13and never heard it
- 0:14i'm 25 and broke i'm not destitute i'm
- 0:17broke
- 0:18too much month at the end of the money
- 0:19is broke
- 0:21and i finally hear this philosophy
- 0:23profits
- 0:24are better
- 0:25than waging
- 0:27now here's the phrase that goes with it
- 0:28wages make you a living which is fine
- 0:32profits make you a fortune
- 0:34which is super fine
- 0:36and you can live both fine and super
- 0:38fine
- 0:38you've now got the mechanism and the
- 0:40ways and means to do that
- 0:42profits are better than wages guess what
- 0:44i taught this in moscow
- 0:46when i was teaching capitalism
- 0:48you know the communists had it all wrong
- 0:50they taught that capitalism was you know
- 0:52a big company that oppresses its workers
- 0:54i mean it was absolutely ridiculous
- 0:57they had mentally lost it when they came
- 0:59up with this ridiculous philosophy
- 1:01communism taught capital belongs to the
- 1:03state not the people
- 1:05and we taught all these years what
- 1:06capital belongs in the hands of the
- 1:07people not the state
- 1:09that's why of course kids should pay
- 1:11taxes because they can be capitalists
- 1:12and all capitalists should pay taxes and
- 1:14it doesn't take much to start an
- 1:15enterprise that makes a profit
- 1:18i teach kids how to have two bicycles
- 1:19one to ride in one to rent i mean you
- 1:22know how long does it take
- 1:24how long does it take to make a profit i
- 1:26mean a little ingenuity and you're on
- 1:27your way
- 1:29so profits are better than wages
- 1:31capitalism better than communism
- 1:33communism said people are too dumb and
- 1:36stupid
- 1:37to know what to do with capital so you
- 1:40must take capital away from all the dumb
- 1:43stupid people and give it to the
- 1:45all-wise all-knowing state
- 1:48and let the state run everything i mean
- 1:51that was communism and they devastated
- 1:53every country they touched i've been to
- 1:55east germany
- 1:57it's taking a trillion dollars just to
- 1:59clean up east germany
- 2:01they've already spent 500 billion they
- 2:03got 500 billion more to go
- 2:06i mean every country they touched and
- 2:07i've been in all of them
- 2:09they devastated them all with their
- 2:11devastating philosophy
- 2:13we teach capital belongs in the hands of
- 2:15the people
- 2:16that's where the ingenuity is to bring
- 2:17goods and services to the marketplace
- 2:19but once i understood this now it was so
- 2:22incredible
- 2:24profits are better than wages now when i
- 2:25first was recruited i'm a distributor

- 4:26that as i am on my full-time job would

- 4:39working on my fortune
- 4:42as i was working full-time on my job
- 4:45and i reached that in less than a year

- 5:23what are you
- 5:24doing
- 5:26i said i'm glad you asked let me tell
- 5:28you
- 5:29now when i started making twice as much
- 5:31money part-time as full-time here's my
- 5:33dilemma i didn't want to go full-time
- 5:37and why not go full time and the reason
- 5:39was because i didn't want to give up my
- 5:42electrifying story
- 5:46right it was so powerful
- 5:49nobody could resist the invitation to at
- 5:51least take a look i didn't want to give
- 5:54it up and i hung on for i don't know how
- 5:56long until it was you know almost insane
- 5:58then finally finally reluctantly
- 6:02i gave up my full-time job
- 6:05but now you can imagine the thrill and
- 6:07excitement of going to work full-time
- 6:09on my fortune it was incredible
- 6:12here's the next one
- 6:13philosophy to help change my life it's
- 6:15not what happens that determines your
- 6:17life future it's not what happens that
- 6:20determines your life future
- 6:22it's what you do about what
- 6:24happens
- 6:25all of us are in like a little sailboat
- 6:28and it's not the blowing of the wind
- 6:29that determines your destination it's
- 6:31the set of the sail
- 6:32so jot this phrase down it's one of the
- 6:34best to understand kids need to
- 6:35understand it the same wind blows on us
- 6:37all
- 6:38the wind of disaster the wind of
- 6:40opportunity the wind of change
- 6:42the wind when it's upside down the wind
- 6:44when it's favorable and unfavorable the
- 6:46same wind blows on us all the economic
- 6:48wind the social wind
- 6:50the political wind the same wind blows
- 6:52on everybody the difference in where you
- 6:54arrive in one year three years five
- 6:55years the difference in arrival is not
- 6:57the blowing of the wind but the set
- 7:00of the sake
- 7:01and that's what learning is all about to
- 7:03set a better sale this year than last
- 7:05year
- 7:06to set a better sale the first six years
- 7:08of my economic life i wound up broke
- 7:09second six years i wound up rich
- 7:12you say well the democrats must have
- 7:14finally gotten power no
- 7:16no
- 7:17it was not a political change
- 7:20here's what changed the second six years
- 7:22of my economic life it was my philosophy
- 7:24that changed
- 7:25the set of the sale of better thinking
- 7:27correcting the errors of the past and
- 7:29picking up new disciplines for the
- 7:30future that's all i had to do at the end
- 7:32of the first six correct the errors of
- 7:34the past and then pick up some new
- 7:35disciplines for the future and my total
- 7:37life changed the second six years was
- 7:39totally different than the first six
- 7:41of my working life
- 7:43and guess who can do that anybody
- 7:46now you can keep on the same path for
- 7:48the next couple of years as you have the
- 7:49past two
- 7:51but if you wish to if you wish to and
- 7:53maybe everything's okay for you and you
- 7:55don't need to but if you need to make
- 7:56some changes i'm telling you can start
- 7:58doing it today so that the next two
- 8:00years will be drastically different than
- 8:02the last two
- 8:04and anybody who wishes to do that can
- 8:06and you can do it between ages 40 and 43
- 8:08you can do it between ages 13 and 15.
- 8:10you can do it between ages 60 and 62.
- 8:13any two years any five years that you
- 8:16wish to drastically change from the
- 8:17previous five you can do it
- 8:20if you wish to now this isn't written
- 8:22this is not a law
- 8:25here's what it's called opportunity
- 8:28but if you don't know you can change if
- 8:30you don't know you can drastically
- 8:31change your income change your future
- 8:33change your health change your marriage
- 8:34change everything if you don't know that
- 8:36some people then go year after year
- 8:38after year after year not making much
- 8:40change simply because they didn't get to
- 8:41the class they never read the book they
- 8:44never went to the seminar they never
- 8:45made the discovery
- 8:47they didn't seek for the knowledge of
- 8:48how could i make my life better and if
- 8:50you just rock along i'm telling you it's
- 8:52okay anybody can live any way they
- 8:54choose but i'm here to tell all of you
- 8:56that if you wish to it's possible
- 8:58to make the next three years totally
- 9:00different than the last three
- 9:03and all you have to do is just a few
- 9:04things
- 9:06so we got that one now it's not the
- 9:07blowing of the wind that determines your
- 9:09income
- 9:10it's not the blowing of the wind that
- 9:12determines your fortune it's the set of
- 9:14the save
- 9:15and that's why we gathered here today
- 9:16maybe i've got some ideas that'll help
- 9:18you with a couple of little things about
- 9:20setting the sale of your thinking
- 9:23that might drastically give you
- 9:26multiplied more benefit the next three
- 9:28years than you've gotten in the last
- 9:30three
- 9:31so it's not what happens
- 9:33what happens happens to everybody
- 9:36chevron years ago brought me in to talk
- 9:38to management they said mr owen you
- 9:40travel around the world and you're
- 9:41fairly knowledgeable what do you think
- 9:43the next 10 years are going to be like
- 9:45i said gentlemen i can tell you i do
- 9:47know the right people
- 9:48so they all lean forward and listen
- 9:50carefully and i said gentlemen the next
- 9:5210 years are going to be about like the
- 9:53last 10.
- 9:55the next season after fall is
- 9:58well i promise you that's not going to
- 10:00change
- 10:01after day comes
- 10:03nigh i promise you that's not gonna
- 10:04change
- 10:06here's how the last six thousand years
- 10:08reads if you want to make a note of jim
- 10:10rohn's vision of history the last six
- 10:12thousand years here's how it reads
- 10:13opportunity mixed with difficulty
- 10:17it's going to read like that looks like
- 10:18for the next 6 000 years
- 10:20opportunity mixed with
- 10:23difficulty now sometimes there seems to
- 10:24be more opportunity than difficulty and
- 10:26then sometimes there seems to be more
- 10:28difficulty than opportunity but the mix
- 10:30isn't going to chip
- 10:32after expansion comes
- 10:35recession
- 10:36but after recession comes
- 10:39expansion not to think so c is naive and
- 10:42once you've got just a little of this
- 10:44stuff settled then you know exactly what
- 10:47to do
- 10:48you know exactly what to anticipate so
- 10:49you can be ready
- 10:52now here's the next one here's what it
- 10:53says for things to change you have to

- 10:57i was hoping the government would change
- 10:58and taxes would change and
- 11:00economics would change and my boss would
- 11:02change and be more generous
- 11:04i wished for everything to change and my
- 11:05teacher said no mr owen for things to
