1:06a great chance for me
1:08uh by video to have a chance to tell you
1:10my story
1:12uh just briefly let me tell you my story
1:14i grew up in idaho farm country
1:17my father still lives on the old
1:19homestead where i grew up southwestern
1:21idaho
1:22he'll be 91 his next birthday
1:25and i'm very proud of him
1:28i went to high school i graduated i went
1:30to college one year
1:32halfway through my second year i decided
1:34i was smart enough so i quit
1:36one of my major mistakes i should have
1:39stayed in school
1:40but i thought you know heck i'm smart
1:42enough to get a job and back then i
1:44thought you know that was it if you're
1:45smart enough to get a job what else
1:47would you need
1:48found out later
1:49a big mistake
1:51but anyway i quit school at age 19 went
1:54to work a little while later persuaded a
1:56beautiful young lady to marry me
1:59with a lot of fancy promises
2:01and fortunately for me we got married
2:04a little while later i started my family
2:07and i'm out there working hard doing the
2:09best i thought i could
2:11but year by year i kept falling a little
2:13further behind
2:14uh you know buying a little more than i
2:17could conveniently pay for on time
2:19and uh
2:21the creditors are finally starting to
2:22call saying hey you told us the check
2:24was in the mail
2:26i'm not feeling at all good about that
2:29about age 25
2:31i've got pennies in my pocket i've got
2:33nothing in the bank
2:35and way behind on my big mouth promises
2:38to my family
2:40and wondering what could i do to make my
2:42life better
2:43i was willing to work hard that was not
2:45my problem
2:46but i just wasn't making the progress i
2:49wanted to make
2:50and then good fortune came my way
2:53sometimes it's difficult to describe
2:55good fortune why something remarkable
2:57happens to you at a particular time
3:00one of my friends says well hey things
3:01don't just happen
3:03things happen just
3:05and maybe that's it i don't know but my
3:07good fortune was i had a chance to meet
3:09a very wealthy man his name was mr chef
3:12mr earl schoff
3:13a friend of mine had gone to work for
3:15him
3:16and he started telling me about this man
3:17he said you got to meet this man he's
3:19rich but he's easy to talk to
3:21and he's got a remarkable philosophy of
3:23life
3:24and he kept going on and i thought well
3:27i've got to meet this man
3:28so shortly after that i had a chance to
3:30meet this mr chef
3:32and i was impressed he was rich
3:35he was easy to talk to
3:37within a few minutes i was dazzled
3:40and i said to myself i would give
3:42anything if i could be like that
3:44rich and easy to talk to what would it
3:46take
3:47and then i thought
3:49if i could just get around somebody like
3:51him
3:52and if he would teach me and coach me
3:54i would do it all
3:56and that was my good fortune a few
3:58months later this wealthy man mr chef
4:00hired me and gave me a job
4:03and i went to work for him and i spent
4:04the next five years in his employ
4:08and then unfortunately at age 49 he died
4:11but i got to spend five years with this
4:14remarkable man his last five years of
4:16his life and the first five years of my
4:19new life
4:20and my dream came true during that
4:22five-year period
4:24this man took the time to teach me and
4:27coach me he taught me the books to read
4:29he taught me the disciplines and he
4:31taught me the skills
4:33and he taught me the changes to make in
4:35my language and personality
4:38and the things he shared with me during
4:39that five years
4:41changed my whole life changed my income
4:43changed my bank account
4:45changed my future
4:47i've never been the same
4:49by the time i was 31 years old i was a
4:51millionaire
4:52so he taught me economics as well
4:55so how lucky can you get to meet the
4:57right person at the right time
5:00who takes the time to share with you
5:01ideas that can change your life
5:04a lot of rich people right don't take
5:05the time but he did and he also had the
5:08ability
5:09some people want to share their
5:11experiences but they don't quite know
5:12how to say it but he had it all
5:14and he used language that i could
5:16understand
5:17and those ideas greatly affected my life
5:22i wish he was still alive today if he
5:24was i'd be calling him today one more
5:26time thanking him
5:28for the time he spent with me sharing
5:30his life and his experiences that so
5:32dramatically affected my life
5:35then how i really came to be invited to
5:37speak to you today
5:4030 plus years ago i was living in
5:41beverly hills california
5:44and a friend of mine one day said
5:46jim you've got to come and tell your
5:47story to my service club he belonged to
5:50the rotary club
5:51and he said i know your story idaho farm

5:56but he said i know my club members would
5:57love to hear your story would you come
5:59and
6:00and at our breakfast meeting and tell
6:01your story and i said okay
6:04so i arranged a little talk went and

6:18luncheon meeting would you come share
6:20your story
6:21first thing i know i'm spending a little
6:23piece of my time
6:24giving these breakfast talks and
6:26luncheon talks
6:28and then one day a man who heard my talk
6:30about three times said would you come
6:32and talk to my management and sales
6:34people he said i've got this little
6:35company going

6:50paid he said i'd be happy to
6:52little did i know that was the beginning
6:55of a whole new
6:56brand new adventure for me
6:59in sharing my story and speeches and
7:01talks and seminars and lectures
7:04and now this business become one of my
7:07most flourishing enterprises takes me
7:09around the world
7:10i went to many countries just this year
7:12had my largest audience early this year
7:15in spain
7:16twelve thousand people
7:18uh ten different languages being
7:20translated at the same time
7:22the whole audience with the earphones on
7:25it's interesting when you lecture with
7:27multi-languages you know when you hit
7:30the punch line you know the spanish
7:31laugh first and then the french get it
7:33and then finally the italians get it and
7:35last the germans finally get it
7:38and then i say hey the germans finally
7:40got it i guess we can continue
7:42you know some languages take long longer
7:44to translate than other languages
7:47but what an exciting adventure for me i
7:49was in israel this year
7:51i lectured in france my first trip to
7:54prague czechoslovakia
7:57lisbon portugal
7:59last year i was in london lecturing
8:02happened to be there the same night
8:03pavarotti was singing in london
8:06so big dilemma for the people in london
8:09shall we go see jim rohn or shall we go
8:11listen to pavarotti
8:13well i must admit he had more people
8:15than i did like a hundred and fifty
8:17thousand more
8:18he did a free concert in hyde park
8:21and they expected a quarter of a million
8:23but only a hundred and fifty 000 showed
8:25up because it rained
8:27and they all got soaked from prince
8:29charles on down but they sat in the rain
8:31and listened to pavarotti
8:34i would have been happy that evening
8:36right to cancel my seminar and go sit in
8:38the rain and listen to pavarotti anyway
8:41he and i have agreed now not to appear
8:43in the same city on the same day anymore
8:46not really but
8:47how exciting for me to be able to travel
8:50all around the world and share my story
8:53and then especially to have this chance
8:54today to come and visit with you
8:57and when i get a chance to speak at a at
8:59a high school class or a university
9:02class i'm always excited about it
9:04i'm limited in time so i wanted to use
9:06this way to come and share my story with
9:10you and some ideas that might be helpful
9:14in your career for the future
9:16in your now busy life as a student
9:20and then wherever you find yourself in
9:21the years to come
9:23some of the things i'm going to share
9:24with you i want you to remember for a
9:26long long time because the ideas i want
9:28to translate for you
9:29drastically affected my life
9:32and if i can share now and affect your
9:34life and you write me a letter
9:36or tell me in person someday mr rohn i
9:38listened to your video and i watched it
9:40carefully and sure enough some of the
9:42ideas that you shared
9:44greatly affected me and here's what's
9:45happened to my bank account here's what
9:47happened to me in school here's what's
9:49happening to my future that'll give me
9:51great great satisfaction
9:54so the man who shared with me ideas that
9:56changed my life i want to share with you
9:58three of those basic subjects
10:00uh when i met him i was 25 years old
10:04and uh when i first got acquainted with
10:06him i used a lot of excuses as to why i
10:09wasn't doing well
10:10and he said well tell me a little bit
10:12about your story and i told him you know
10:14i was behind on my bills had pennies in
10:17my pocket nothing in the bank
10:19that i was embarrassed about being
10:21behind on my big mouth promises to my
10:23family
10:24and then he gave me one little simple
10:26phrase
10:27that really forever changed my life and
10:29here's what he said mr rohn if you want
10:32the future to change for you
10:34you've got to change
10:36and he said if you don't change the next
10:38six years of your life is going to be
10:40just like the last six
10:42you'll still be behind on your bills
10:43you'll still
10:44be behind on your promises
10:46but then he gave it to me in the form of
10:48a promise when i was 25 years old i've
10:51remembered it all these years
10:53and i've shared this promise now with
10:55probably over 3 million people
10:57in the last 30 plus years and it's going
11:00to be valid for you so listen carefully
11:02to this promise my teacher said to me
11:05young man if you will change
11:08everything will change for you
11:10if you will get better
11:12everything will get better for you
11:14what a clear message that was for me
11:17he said if you'll change your philosophy
11:18if you'll change your habits
11:20if you'll refine your thinking
11:22if you'll change and accept some new
11:24disciplines
11:25if you'll turn the corner where you've
11:27been in the past go for a new life for
11:29the future he said all kinds of
11:31remarkable things will happen for you if
11:33you will change
11:36before i met mr show if i used to cross
11:37my fingers and say i sure hope things
11:39will change
11:41i was hoping the government would change
11:42and the tax structure would change and
11:44that my boss would change and pay me
11:46more money
11:48i was hoping that you know
11:50economics would change and prices would
11:52come down
11:54and i was hoping that circumstances
11:56would get better
11:58and then i discovered from my teacher
12:01that those things are going to continue
12:02the same
12:03in fact all of those things that
12:05happened to us
12:06is kind of like the wind that blows
12:11and the wind blows on us all
12:14in fact in america especially
12:17the last six and a half thousand years
12:19of recorded history we've got probably
12:20the most favorable wind that's ever
12:22blown economics
12:24and circumstances living in a free
12:26country
12:28democracy and freedom
12:30uh an excellent economy
12:33sure we struggle at times but compared
12:35to the rest of the world in the last six
12:36and a half thousand years we've got the
12:38best wind ever
12:39but if you just let the wind blow
12:41i'm telling you it won't take you where
12:43you want to go
12:44all of us
12:45must use this wind to take us to the
12:47dreams we've got
12:49to the equities we want to the money we
12:51want to the income we want
12:54and to all the things we want our life
12:56to have
12:57this is where we want to go and we've
12:59got a good wind
13:01but we must not leave our future just to
13:03the wind just to the economy uh just to
13:06the structure of the way things are
13:07happening today here's what we must
13:09learn to do
13:10and that is set a good sale
13:14and if you'll learn to set a good sale
13:16and that's what my teacher taught me in
13:17those early days he said mr own the wind
13:19is going to blow however it's going to
13:21blow
13:22politics are going to be politics and
13:24the economy is going to be the economy
13:26and however it turns out that's the way
13:28it's going to be what you must learn to
13:30do is not to wish for a better wind
13:34that's naive the key is to wish for the
13:36wisdom and the skills and the learning
13:39so that you can set
13:40a better sail and so that's what i did
13:43at age 25 i went to work not on the
13:46economy
13:47i went to work not on the community i
13:50didn't go to work to try to change the
13:51government i didn't go to work to try to
13:53change my boss or the company
13:55i didn't go to work to try to change
13:57circumstances i went to work to try to
13:59change myself
14:01and i picked up that promise my teacher
14:03shared with me that if i would change my
14:06income would change if i would change my
14:08bank account would change
14:10if i would change my future would change
14:12and sure enough his promise came true
14:15for me
14:16the first six years of my economic life
14:18i wound up broke those pennies in my
14:20pocket nothing in the bank behind on my
14:22promises
14:23the second six years of my economic life
14:26i wound up rich
14:28but interestingly enough the second six
14:30years of my economic life the government
14:31was about the same and the economy was
14:33about the same
14:35you know the companies were about the
14:36same what they paid was the same
14:38uh circumstances around me were the same
14:41you know my negative relatives were the
14:43same but i was not the same
14:46that's how my life changed and that's
14:48how
14:49things started working for me
14:51uh changing my life all those years ago
14:54so that's what i wanted to share with
14:55you to begin with this beginning of what
14:58mr show shared with me that if i wanted
14:59my life to change
15:01this was what i was going to have to do
15:03and so he broke it down into three
15:05subjects
15:07that really made an impact on my life
15:09and i want to share those with you
15:11the first subject he called
15:14personal development
15:17and the second subject he called setting
15:19goals
15:21and the third was how to become
15:23financially
15:25independent
15:27and i'd like to give you just a few
15:28clues
15:30from those three major subjects that so
15:32dramatically affected my life
15:35and let's get started the first one
15:38is personal development
15:40now in illustrating personal development
15:46mr shelf my teacher started with
15:49money
15:50you know money is not the only place to
15:52start in talking personal development
15:57but it's where he started so let me
15:59share the thoughts he shared with me
16:00back then let me share them with you
16:03here's the best lesson i can give you
16:06on economics it's very simple we get
16:09paid for bringing value
16:12to the marketplace
16:14that's about as simple as i can put
16:16economics we get paid for bringing value
16:19to the marketplace
16:21now it takes time to bring value to the
16:24marketplace
16:26however
16:28we do not get paid for time
16:30so we cross that out
16:33mistakenly the man says i'm making about
16:35twenty dollars for an hour not true
16:38if that was true you could just stay
16:39home right and have them send your money
16:42so that's not true we don't get paid for
16:44time we get paid for value
16:46brought to the marketplace
16:48now since that's true here's one of the
16:50key questions of my
16:52talk to you today is it possible to
16:54become twice as valuable
16:56to the marketplace
16:58and make twice as much money in the same
17:01time is that possible the answer is yes
17:04could you become three times as valuable
17:07as you might be right now to the
17:08marketplace and make three times as much
17:10money in the same time and the answer is
17:12yes five times ten times of course
17:16america is unique it's a ladder decline
17:19it starts down here let's say at five
17:20dollars an hour and it keeps going up
17:25top income last year
17:2780 million dollars
17:29the guy who runs coca-cola
17:32now that's a heck of a ladder that's why
17:34everybody wants to come here
17:36right the boat people are not headed for
17:37vietnam
17:38uh people haven't plotted in scheme for
17:4050 years saying if i could just get to
17:42poland everything would be okay
17:44not true everybody wants to come to
17:46america and the reason is because we've
17:48got the best wind ever
17:50blowing in our favor we've got the best
17:53economic opportunity anybody's had in
17:55six and a half thousand years
17:57and all you have to do is understand it
17:59and take advantage of it
18:01now there's some key questions to ask
18:03here why would the marketplace pay
18:04someone
18:06only five dollars an hour
18:09very simple answer
18:11they're not very valuable to the
18:12marketplace now we must underline to the
18:15marketplace
18:16this person might be a very valuable
18:18brother yes member the family valuable
18:21yes
18:23valuable member of the church of course
18:25valuable citizen of the country yes
18:29valuable in the sight of god no doubt
18:31we're all of equal value in the sight of
18:33god
18:34but if you're not very valuable to the
18:36marketplace
18:37you don't get much money
18:40you say well it shouldn't be that way
18:42well then you've got to start your own
18:43country you know this one's been in
18:45process for 200 years and this is the
18:47best we've been able to come up with so
18:48far
18:50but here's the key you don't have to
18:52stay here
18:53now there was a big debate in congress
18:55last year that this five dollars was not
18:57enough should be six should be six
18:59should be six
19:00but we don't need legislation six is
19:02already on this ladder
19:05the next step up
19:07you know if you work for mcdonald's
19:09they'll pay you five dollars an hour to
19:10take out the trash if you whistle while
19:12you take out the trash they'll pay you
19:13six dollars an hour
19:15so we don't need that legislation you
19:17just need to take lessons on how to
19:18whistle have a good attitude
19:21now as you begin to climb this ladder
19:23why would the marketplace pay some
19:25people fifty dollars an hour
19:28answer evidently
19:30they must be more
19:32valuable to the marketplace
19:35ten times more valuable
19:37and is that possible for someone to be
19:39ten times more valuable and earn fifty
19:41dollars an hour instead of five the
19:43answer is yes that's what america is all
19:45about
19:47now why would the marketplace pay some
19:49people
19:51five hundred dollars an hour
19:53evidently
19:55this person must be
19:57much more valuable to the marketplace
20:00that's what's important to understand to
20:01the marketplace
20:04and would the marketplace pay one person
20:0680 million dollars for one year's work
20:09and the answer is of course
20:11if you helped a company make a billion
20:14dollars would they pay you 80 million
20:16i'm telling you it is possible
20:19and that's why america is so exciting
20:21that's why this financial ladder is so
20:24exciting
20:25it's possible
20:26for all of this to come true for all of
20:28you no matter where you start as a
20:30student in school
20:31just getting started out there in the
20:33workplace
20:34this is all possible for you
20:36now mr shelf gave me the clue
20:39on how to climb this ladder as high as i
20:42wanted to climb
20:44now we're talking primarily economics
20:46here there's a lot of other ways to
20:47become valuable to your family valuable
20:49to your friends valuable to the
20:51community
20:52valuable to the team
20:54right valuable to the to the
20:57team effort valuable to the concert
21:00but here's what he said to me in
21:02climbing this ladder economically all
21:04you have to do is work harder
21:06on yourself
21:08than you do
21:09on your job
21:11once i heard that it made sense to me
21:15i kept hoping that everything else would
21:16change around me found out that if i
21:19went to work on myself worked on my
21:21skills
21:22worked on my language if i became better
21:25than i was each year if i grew in skills
21:29and language and vocabulary and
21:31competence then
21:33i would become attractive to the
21:35marketplace
21:36not very long ago a company called me
21:38and said mr owen we're expanding
21:40internationally
21:41we'd like to have a bit of your
21:42expertise to help us
21:44would you give us a bit of your time
21:46we'll add some millions to your fortune
21:48and i said okay
21:50and i thought later isn't that
21:52interesting they would call me then my
21:54second thought was of course they'd call
21:55me who else would they call i can get
21:58the job done
21:59now what a contrast for me farm boy from
22:02idaho raised in obscurity parents of
22:04modest means broke when i was 25
22:07how come i would get a telephone call
22:09and someone offered me a lot of money to
22:11help them in expanding around the world
22:13simple answer evidently
22:16something happened to me between age 25
22:19and where i am today
22:21and i can tell you where it all started
22:23from my teacher mr schoeff who said to
22:25me we don't have to change what's going
22:27on out there that's the wind that's
22:29blowing
22:30all we have to do is change what's going
22:32on in here
22:34and now there's several ways to do that
22:36on personal development and let me give
22:39you those ways
22:40here's the first one
22:42we must learn from personal experience
22:47pretty simple learn from what happens to
22:50you
22:51take a look back over the last few
22:52months did you make some mistakes how
22:54could you correct those for the future
22:56take a look back over the last year have
22:58you done it right or done it wrong
23:00let's correct it for the next year
23:03learn from your personal experience mr
23:05chef asked me when i first met him he
23:06said mr owen how are you doing you've
23:08been out there now six years and i said
23:11i'm not doing very well he said i
23:13suggest you not do that anymore
23:16what a simple swift analysis to my
23:18situation
23:19he said if you keep doing it the next
23:20six years will be like the last six you
23:22don't want that to happen let's make the
23:24changes
23:25so learn from your personal experience
23:27now here's number two why i came to
23:29share this video experience with you
23:31today
23:32and that i call it ope other people's
23:37experiences
23:39that's me
23:40other people that's your teacher
23:43other people
23:44that's your friends and colleagues other
23:46people the people you meet that can pass
23:49along to you their experiences
23:51what's happened to them the mistakes
23:53they made how they corrected them how
23:55they change their health and change
23:56their bank account and change their
23:58income and change their future that's it
24:00other people
24:02now there's two kinds of people to learn
24:03from one is failures
24:06it's too bad failures don't give
24:08seminars right that would be valuable
24:10bring your notebook
24:12have them tell you how they lost it all
24:14and threw it all away threw their health
24:16away and threw their friendships away
24:17and things didn't work out well
24:19that would be valuable
24:21but now then we must also learn from
24:23positive people that have done well
24:26they've got the health and so we asked
24:27them how did you become so healthy
24:29they've got the skills so we asked them
24:31how did you become this skillful
24:33they've got the income so we ask them
24:35how did you get here in such a short
24:36period of time
24:38so now here's what's important in
24:40personal development
24:41in learning from other people we learn
24:43number one by observation
24:47we learn what we see we watch
24:50people that are successful in what they
24:51do
24:52in sports we watch their disciplines
24:55in business we watch their disciplines
24:58by observation what we can see the
25:01reason i created this video is something
25:02that you could see someone's experiences
25:05translated for you
25:07second we learn by what we hear
25:10i've got some of my
25:12uh lectures on cassette tape so you know
25:15you can take them with you wherever you
25:16go
25:17and
25:18learn by listening turn your car into a
25:21mobile classroom
25:22and listen
25:24and then listen to the sermon on sunday
25:26morning listen to the lectures listen to
25:28the teacher listen to someone who's got
25:30something good to say
25:32and then number three is vitally
25:34important on personal development and
25:36that is read all the books
25:38all the books you can possibly read in
25:40your lifetime
25:42mr chef got me started on my library
25:44i've got one of the better libraries
25:46haven't read everything in it but i feel
25:48smarter just walking in it by library
25:51at least i was smart enough to buy it
25:53now i got to be smart enough to read it
25:55then of course i got to be smart enough
25:56to decide what's valuable and then do it
25:59but this one is very important become a
26:01good reader
26:02some books that helped change my life mr
26:04schoff recommended of course the bible
26:07and my parents made sure i was a pretty
26:08good scholar by the time i was 18
26:11that's been so beneficial for me drawing
26:13from those illustrations
26:15uh reading about those stories people
26:17who made it and people who didn't make
26:19it and what the difference was
26:21and then other books that helped to
26:23really change my life one called think
26:25and grow rich
26:26by napoleon hill
26:29and then a book that helped me become
26:30financially independent by the time i
26:32was 31 and that book is called the
26:34richest man in babylon
26:37by george clayson and i'm going to share
26:38a little bit of that book with you when
26:40i get to financial independence today
26:42our third subject
26:44but i started reading the books
26:46attending the classes
26:48making sure that i got in front of
26:51people that had something good to say
26:54and then i started keeping a journal one
26:56of the major things my teacher taught me
26:58was to keep a journal
27:00he said don't trust your memory
27:02if you hear something good just make a
27:03little note and write it down now at
27:06first i took you know notes on pieces of
27:08paper and torn off corners and backs of
27:10old envelopes
27:11and it didn't serve me well you know
27:13thrown in a drawer then i learned to
27:15keep
27:16a journal
27:17a bound copy of all my notes so i would
27:20suggest you do the same
27:22things that impress you a poem that
27:24impresses you when you attend a class
27:27some of the ideas that impressed you jot
27:29them down
27:31you read something in a magazine right
27:33some ideas take those out put them in
27:35your journal keep a good journal the
27:36rest of your life this will serve you
27:38well my journals make up a significant
27:40portion of my own library
27:43and if you saw my library and saw my
27:45journals i tell you what you'd have to
27:46say
27:47this
27:48is the library and these are the
27:50journals of a very serious student no
27:51wonder mr rohn is invited to lecture and
27:54speak on his experiences around the
27:55world so i want the same thing to happen
27:57to you value captured
28:00that you can resort to later go back
28:02over it and review it and let it become
28:04valuable to you
28:06so that's my first subject personal
28:08development
28:09work harder on yourself than you do on
28:11your job
28:12develop the skills
28:14learn the lessons take the classes
28:17absorb all that is being taught to you
28:20these days
28:21and then later on of course you can sort
28:23it out what's valuable to you and how to
28:25refine it for your business and for your
28:27life and for your future but the main
28:29thing is to get it and start this
28:30process of personal change personal
28:33development and let me say it one more
28:35time if you will change
28:37everything will change for you you'll
28:39never be the same you'll keep growing as
28:42you look back on a few months look back
28:44on a few years you won't believe the
28:46progress you can make economically your
28:48relationship with your family your
28:50friends
28:51and whether you're in sports or
28:52economics or whatever i'm telling you
28:55that whole process of committing
28:56yourself
28:57for personal change personal value
29:00can really make your life unique and
29:02worthwhile
29:04now let's cover the second subject on
29:06setting goals
29:08mr shelf gave me some tips on setting
29:10goals that changed my life forever
29:14and i want to share those with you
29:21so let's talk about setting goals and i
29:23also want to tie
29:24it to personal development
29:28and you'll see how i'm going to do it as
29:29i progress here setting goals
29:34we need to take a look into the future
29:39there are
29:41four things to consider in terms of
29:43attitude one is how you feel about the
29:46past
29:48best advice i can give you on that is
29:49treat the past as a school let it teach
29:51you the mistakes you've made the things
29:53that went wrong the things that didn't
29:54work
29:55don't use the past as a burden to carry
29:57and don't use the past as a club to beat
29:59yourself to death
30:01past losses past failures past mistakes
30:03but let the past be a school tough
30:06school maybe we've all been through some
30:07tough stuff
30:08so if you feel good about the past draw
30:11from it for experience and let it teach
30:13you
30:14then next is how you feel about the
30:16future
30:18we've got to have the future well
30:19designed
30:21the future is called the promise
30:24and here's what we teach in our
30:25leadership series
30:27the promise of the future can be an
30:29awesome force
30:31for your own future the promise of the
30:34future designing the future there's two
30:36ways to face the future one is with
30:38apprehension
30:39and the other is with anticipation
30:42i promise you in my travels around the
30:44world most people face the future with
30:46apprehension and here's why they don't
30:48have it well designed
30:50they've sort of left that up to someone
30:52else to fix
30:54but here's the best way to face the
30:55future with anticipation
30:57and you can you can face the future with
30:59anticipation if
31:01the future is clear if the future is
31:04well
31:05designed
31:06and i would like to have you consider
31:09some thoughts
31:10with me that helped me
31:12to
31:13really change my future by giving it
31:15some thought and some consideration
31:18and here it is in setting goals it's
31:20very simple number one decide what you
31:22want
31:23you just take a little time you sit down
31:26and say what do i want what kind of
31:28skills do i want what kind of income do
31:30i want for the future uh what would i
31:32like
31:33where would i like to go
31:35places i'd like to visit
31:37uh habits i'd like to acquire skills i'd
31:40like to have
31:42you just take a little time to think
31:43about what you want
31:44economics friendships
31:47people you'd like to meet
31:48places you'd like to go you just take
31:50some time and then i suggest when you've
31:52thought about what you want for the
31:54future make a list
31:56just jot it all down
31:58so really a very simple process
32:01and then here's number three
32:03keep all the old lists
32:05i'm telling you this served me so well
32:08keeping my old list of goals
32:10i look back now 10 20 years ago at goals
32:13i set lists i made and i smile now
32:16because here's what i thought was so
32:17important you know 20 years ago now some
32:20of those things aren't even on my list
32:23i've got a new list i've grown i've
32:25changed i've matured
32:27but i give you that advice decide what
32:29you want number two write it down number
32:30three keep the old list
32:33and then here's number four
32:34when you get something that's on one of
32:36these lists check it off part of the fun
32:38of having a list is checking it off
32:41and then if you can add some drama to
32:43checking it off see that's what really
32:45helps
32:46i set a goal to go to spain many many
32:48years ago
32:50and when i finally made my first trip to
32:52spain i had that journal with me that
32:54had that list in it and while i had my
32:56journal on my lap waiting for the wheels
32:59to touch down in madrid
33:01i waited until the wheels touched the
33:03runway and i checked it off
33:05just adding a little drama
33:08so part of the fun of having a list is
33:09checking it off
33:11now here's what's important about the
33:13list
33:14and designing your future
33:16if the future gets clear the price
33:20gets easier
33:22because you got to remember for every
33:24promise there's a price to pay
33:28everybody's got to pay the price
33:29everybody's got to do the deal
33:31everybody's got to do the disciplines
33:33everybody has to pay
33:35but here's what i've discovered if the
33:37promise is clear
33:39and powerful the price is easy to pay
33:43the price is some classes the price is a
33:45few books the price is a few disciplines
33:48the price is finding something that'll
33:49make your life better make you grow make
33:51you change make you develop
33:53so the first part of the key is to
33:55design the promise then what is the
33:57price to pay i'm telling you the price
33:59will be easy
34:01anybody in my audience can pay it no
34:03matter where you are where you come from
34:06color doesn't matter religion doesn't
34:07matter where you grew up doesn't matter
34:09circumstances don't matter i'm telling
34:10you
34:11if you'll make the promise of the future
34:13clear for yourself the things you want
34:15the places you want to go things you
34:17want to have the person you want to
34:19become the skills you want the homes you
34:21want the future you want the friends you
34:23want
34:24all of the values of life that you could
34:26possibly want
34:27if you'll make that clear make those
34:29lists and be serious about it i promise
34:32you it's an easy price to pay
34:34anybody can pay it
34:36and the best advice i can give you is if
34:38i can do it you can do it farm boy from
34:40idaho raised in obscurity i changed my
34:43life turned it upside down turned it all
34:45around
34:46found economics found future found
34:48promise and if i can do it you can do it
34:51so start setting your goals
34:54and see if you can't get a better
34:56excitement going for the things you want
34:58to accomplish for the future
35:01now here's my third subject
35:03and that's called financial independence
35:06oh by the way before i get to financial
35:08independence let me cover one more point
35:12one of the major reasons for setting
35:13goals
35:15is for what they make of you
35:17in achieving them
35:19my teacher advised me when i first got
35:22started at age 25 he said jim why don't
35:24you set a goal to become a millionaire
35:27he said it's got a nice ring to it
35:31you know enough zeroes to impress your
35:33accountant
35:34and he said i'm here to help you you're
35:37only 25 years old you've been to one
35:39year of college you've got a beautiful
35:40family every reason to do it why don't
35:42you set a goal to become a millionaire
35:45and he said here's why
35:47and i thought he doesn't need to teach
35:48me why wouldn't it be nice to have a
35:50million dollars he said no then you'll
35:53miss it he said here's why
35:55for what it will make of you to achieve
35:58it
36:00i'm telling you that statement changed
36:02my life
36:03set the kind of goals that will make
36:05something of you to achieve them
36:07he said now once you become a
36:09millionaire what's important is not the
36:10money
36:11i thought that's kind of strange
36:13teaching he said honest it isn't
36:15important he said you could just give
36:16the money away
36:17now i did better than that i lost it all
36:20by the time i was 31 i was a millionaire
36:22by the time i was 33 i was broke
36:24and i'll tell you a little bit about
36:25that story later
36:27but when i lost all my money guess what
36:29i found out mr chef was right what was
36:31valuable was not the money what was
36:33valuable was what i became to earn the
36:35money
36:36the skills i had the knowledge i had
36:38about the marketplace
36:40the values that i had going for me they
36:43were more valuable than the money and
36:45here's an important statement to
36:46remember it's not what you get that
36:48makes you valuable
36:49it's what you become
36:51so part of the key here is to set the
36:53kind of goals that will make something
36:55of you don't set them too low
36:57so that you don't have to grow and you
36:58don't have to read and you don't have to
37:00try and you don't have to stretch don't
37:02set them too low
37:04and then don't sell out
37:06don't go for something that's going to
37:08cost you your virtue or cost you your
37:10values
37:11or sell out your principles
37:14there's a good middle road here to
37:15follow goals that will inspire
37:18goals that will help you grow change
37:20develop and become better than you are
37:22okay
37:24now let's talk about financial
37:25independence
37:27how to become rich by 40 35 if you're
37:30extra bright much sooner if you find an
37:32opportunity like i did
37:34let me show you how i did it
37:36financial independence
37:41first of all
37:46i like the phrase financial independence
37:49some people are a little bit concerned
37:51about using the word becoming rich
37:54or becoming wealthy and i can understand
37:56that i struggled a little bit with this
37:58is it okay to go for becoming rich go
38:01for becoming wealthy
38:03and maybe that's a bit too strong the
38:04word or stronger term so
38:07here's what i've come up with that i
38:08think is comfortable for me and that is
38:09how to become financially independent
38:12i think it's every person's heritage
38:14here especially in america
38:17to become financially independent now
38:19let me give you my definition of
38:21financial independence financial
38:23independence is the ability to live
38:26from the income of your own personal
38:28resources
38:30financial independence now it depends on
38:32how you want to live
38:34if you need two three thousand dollars a
38:35month if you need four or five thousand
38:37a month if you need ten thousand a month
38:38some people may need you know hundred
38:40thousand a month
38:42but whatever you would need to live
38:45and you could earn that living from the
38:47income of your own personal resources
38:50that's what i call financial freedom
38:52financial independence
38:54and let me show you how to acquire it
38:57if you start at age 15
38:59between ages 15 and 35
39:03is 20 years
39:05and in my personal opinion based on my
39:07own studies and my own experience 20
39:09years in my opinion is enough time to
39:11become financially independent if you're
39:14not
39:16you don't live in the wrong country
39:18probably what's happened is you have the
39:20wrong plan
39:22and it's easy to be a nice person with
39:23the wrong plan i found that when i was
39:2525 years old i was broke at age 25 and i
39:28was a nice guy you would have liked me
39:30but i'm telling you my plans up until
39:33then especially my financial plan left
39:35me broke
39:36i totally changed it the next six years
39:38and i became financially independent so
39:40i know what i'm talking about it is
39:42possible in a reasonable amount of time
39:4615 to 35
39:47whatever 20 years time enough time you
39:50can do it in much shorter period of time
39:52like i did if you want to but this is a
39:55reasonable enough time
39:56but here's number one first of all you
39:58gotta have the right philosophy
40:02philosophy is our ability to gather
40:04knowledge and sort through it and decide
40:07what's valuable
40:08to develop a philosophy about life a
40:10philosophy about our health
40:12a philosophy about our family
40:14relationships
40:15a philosophy about economics and if you
40:17develop the right philosophy
40:19that's what helps to set this sail
40:24so that in six years it takes you where
40:26you want to go instead of winding up
40:28like i did that first six years of my
40:30economics broke no money empty bank
40:32account
40:34the right philosophy now let me give you
40:35a couple of philosophies to consider
40:37here's the first one it's called the
40:39philosophy of the poor
40:42and here it is
40:44poor people
40:45usually spend their money
40:48and invest what's left
40:52the philosophy of the poor
40:54now here's the philosophy of the rich
40:56rich people invest their money
40:59and spend what's left
41:01and here's the startling answer
41:03it really doesn't matter what the amount
41:05is
41:06what's most important is not the amount
41:08what's really important is the
41:10philosophy
41:11so i would ask you to adopt this
41:13philosophy
41:15of spending
41:17after you have invested invest first
41:19then spend and i've got a little formula
41:22that i'm going to share with you
41:24now what should a child do with a dollar
41:28i mean there's a lot of debate going on
41:30i'm sure across the country on what a
41:31child should do with the dollar here's
41:32one opinion it's only a child and it's
41:34only a dollar what difference does it
41:36make
41:37well
41:38in my opinion it makes all the
41:39difference in the world
41:41a person's economic future starts
41:44with a child with a dollar
41:46somebody says oh no you're only young
41:48once let him spend it all well when
41:50would you hope that would stop
41:53somebody says well wait till he's 50 and
41:55broke like me and you know and then
41:56he'll learn
41:57well no we don't want to wait that long
41:59if i would have known earlier than age
42:0125 i would have changed
42:04in high school if i if they would have
42:06had classes called wealth 1 wealth 2 i'd
42:08have taken both classes i would not have
42:10waited until age 25.
42:13so the earlier the better so what should
42:16a child do with a dollar here's the
42:17simple premise to begin with don't spend
42:20it all
42:21and if a child wants to spend the whole
42:23dollar you got to say hey don't spend it
42:24all
42:25you know
42:27don't spend it all they'll say why not
42:29it's my dollar i earned it
42:31you say i know you earned it but don't
42:32spend it all
42:34they'll still say why not say let me
42:35show you why not so you put them in your
42:37car take them to the other side of town
42:40and show them where people live that
42:41spend the whole dollar
42:43just drive them around kids learn best
42:45by visual
42:46just drive around and say would you like
42:48to live here kid says no
42:50would you like to live like these people
42:51live kid says no no
42:55then you can't spend the whole dollar
42:57so
42:58kids will get the message so you know
43:00take them to other side of town show
43:01them around unless you already live
43:02there and then just show them around
43:05anyway
43:06don't spend the whole dollar now let me
43:08give you my best view of what to do with
43:11the dollar
43:12and i promise you if you started at age
43:1415 now if you're over 15 right
43:16you've still got plenty of time you
43:18still got 20 years you know if you're 30
43:20you're still got 20 years i mean you
43:21know you've still got plenty of time to
43:23start what i'm about to share with you
43:26what to do
43:27with a dollar
43:30here's my first bit of advice
43:32never spend more than
43:3570 cents
43:38never spend more than 70 cents
43:40now you got to pick some number and the
43:42number you pick is going to be
43:43determined by your philosophy
43:46it's going to be determined by what
43:47you've been taught or your experience
43:49teaching yourself
43:51when i first met my teacher mr show i
43:53was at about 110 percent of each dollar
43:56you know i'm down at budget finance
43:58hawking my furniture in my car one more
44:00time
44:01and then i learned a whole better
44:04formula for financial independence
44:05number one don't spend more than 70
44:08cents
44:09now kids say to me well okay what do i
44:12do with the other 30
44:14cents
44:15and here's what i teach them
44:1710 cents for charity
44:22charity or church or helping people that
44:24can't help themselves
44:2710 cents to support worthy projects
44:31projects that you feel good about 10
44:33cents out of every dollar
44:35it's called being generous with part of
44:37what you've taken out of society
44:41now in my opinion nothing teaches us
44:44character
44:46better than generosity no class no
44:48teacher no book teacher generosity
44:51teaches character better than generosity
44:53and the best time to start is when the
44:55amounts are small
44:57and i know if kids learn these lessons
44:59well they'll give a dime out of a dollar
45:01help people that can't help themselves
45:03support worthy projects
45:05or if you belong to a church they teach
45:06tithe piece of that's very important
45:10now
45:12because when the amounts get larger
45:13sometimes it's a little more difficult
45:15you know giving a hundred thousand out
45:17of a million someone says oh if i had a
45:18million i'd give a hundred thousand i'm
45:20not sure that's a lot of money
45:22so the time to start is when the amounts
45:24are small ten cents out of the dollar
45:27okay next ten cents
45:29i call active capital
45:33active capital means do something to
45:35make a profit
45:38active capital
45:40set aside a portion of your income
45:43wages are okay but i'm telling you wages
45:45will make you a living profits will make
45:47you a fortune
45:49so set aside part of your income
45:51as capital called active capital
45:54any kind of project you can possibly
45:56think of you can possibly come up with
45:58i'm going to write a new book i think
46:00for kids i think the title is going to
46:02be of course kids should pay taxes
46:04it's kind of an interesting title in
46:06california kids do pay taxes
46:08when a child walks into 7-eleven buy
46:10something that costs a dollar the
46:11proprietor says give me seven more
46:13pennies
46:15and the child says hey what's the seven
46:17pennies for the proprietor says that's
46:19the taxes
46:21kid says well hey i'm only eight years
46:22old proprietor says congratulations
46:24you're my youngest taxpayer
46:26give me the money so in california where
46:29i live kids do pay taxes big question is
46:31should they
46:32and my book will answer that question of
46:34course kids should pay taxes nothing is
46:36for free
46:38if you want to ride your bicycle on the
46:39sidewalk instead of in the mud you gotta
46:42pay the seven pennies
46:44nothing is free so we all have to pay
46:47so
46:4910 cents out of your living
46:52out of the money you earn set aside for
46:54capital
46:56to try your best to show
46:59a profit
47:00and in my books gonna be all kinds of
47:01ways kids can make money right two
47:03bicycles one to ride one to rent i mean
47:06you know it doesn't take long to figure
47:08out some enterprise that'll start making
47:10a profit
47:11then you must jot this down if you're
47:13taking notes profits are better
47:16than wages
47:17one you can't usually start wages until
47:19you're about 16 15 16
47:22but you can make a profit long before
47:25you're eligible to start earning wages
47:28and then there's no limit to profits and
47:30they can they can double and triple and
47:32quadruple you know there's no limit it's
47:35incredible how fast profits can grow
47:38so profits are better than wages wages
47:40make you a living profits make you a
47:42fortune
47:44now the third 10 cents is vitally
47:45important
47:46i call it passive capital
47:50capital you let somebody else use
47:53a financial institution stocks and bonds
47:56mutual funds whatever let someone else
47:58use it you furnish the money they use it
48:01to make a profit but they pay you for
48:03the use of it called interest
48:05and here's one of the things that'll
48:06make you financially independent fairly
48:08quickly and that's called compound
48:11interest
48:12and this is how you get it letting
48:13someone else use a portion of your
48:17honey your substance
48:19they show the profit they pay you
48:21interest
48:22and this passive capital i'm telling you
48:24over a sustained period of time
48:27if you'll develop this little 10 10 10
48:29and 70 especially starting at age 15 i'm
48:32telling you by the time you're 35 you
48:34will be financially independent you'll
48:36have the ability to live from the income
48:38of your own resources
48:40and then one more point on passive
48:42capital there's a bible philosophy i'm
48:44an amateur on the bible
48:46but there's a bible philosophy that
48:48teaches the borrower is servant
48:51to the lender
48:53and if you want to be in a powerful
48:55position
48:56as you grow older finally when you
48:58become mature maybe have your own
49:00business
49:01things have worked out for you for the
49:02future the position you always want to
49:04be in is the power position and that's
49:06called the lender
49:07the lender is the power position
49:10so if kids learn early enough and then
49:12you ask them what they'd like to be when
49:13they grow up i'm telling you once they
49:15understand they'll say well one of the
49:16things i want to be is one of those
49:18lenders
49:20that's the power position not the
49:21spender
49:23no you'll be pitied the rest of your
49:24life if you just become a spender you
49:27got to become a lender and i think this
49:28is one formulas to follow
49:3110 cents out of every dollar let someone
49:33else use it be the lender power position
49:36then try to show a profit
49:38can we teach our children how to take a
49:40dollar search the neighborhood
49:42find a broken wagon pay a dollar for it
49:45bring it home
49:46you know clean it up sand it until it's
49:48clean paint it red till it shines
49:51straighten out the wheels till they're
49:52true
49:53take it back to the neighborhood sell it
49:55for five dollars
49:57anybody can do that
49:58now does the child deserve four dollars
50:00profit and the answer is yes society now
50:02has a mended wagon
50:04and that's what america is all about
50:06finding something touching it making it
50:09better making a profit
50:11taking part of your resources helping
50:12people who can't help themselves let
50:14someone else use it to make a profit
50:16some projects require more capital than
50:18one person has
50:20exciting
50:21and then let them pay you for the use of
50:23it
50:24america's had this philosophy now all
50:26these years communism is taught all
50:28these years capital belongs in the hands
50:30of the state not in the hands of the
50:32people
50:34we've been teaching all these years
50:35capital belongs in the hands of the
50:36people
50:38not in the hands of the state and we
50:40turned out to be right
50:42capital in the hands of the kids capital
50:44in the hands of the people
50:45enterprises that make a profit
50:47enterprises that grow it's the hope of
50:49our future
50:50so that little simple formula
50:52i hope will help you now one more key on
50:55financial independence and that is
50:56attitude
50:59attitude
51:01here's number one
51:03i used to say i hate to pay my bills
51:07my teacher straightened me out on that
51:08he said let's see mr owen what you hate
51:10to do is pay a hundred dollars on an
51:12account
51:13and reduce your liabilities and increase
51:15your assets i said well no not if you
51:17look at it that way
51:19he said well it all depends on how you
51:21look at it
51:22so wouldn't you love to pay your bills
51:24reduce your liabilities increase your
51:26assets you got to have that kind of
51:28attitude
51:29i found out the same attitude about
51:31taxes i used to say i hate to pay my
51:32taxes and mr show said well that's one
51:34way to live
51:35but don't you understand taxes is how we
51:37care and feed the goose that lays the
51:39golden eggs
51:40wouldn't you want to do your share
51:42someone says yes but the goose eats too
51:44much probably true
51:46but hey we all eat too much we all need
51:48to go on a diet better a fat goose than
51:50no goose
51:51so i finally became a happy taxpayer now
51:54i think taxes are too high so i'm
51:56working to get taxes lowered for our
51:58economic future but then whatever they
52:00turn out to be i gladly pay do my part
52:03because that's what makes the whole
52:04system run
52:06each of us doing our part
52:08now i want these three subjects to be
52:10valuable for you
52:12i want them to have meaning for you
52:15i want you someday to be financially
52:17independent
52:19i want you to have the personal
52:20development so that you feel good about
52:22yourself
52:24if i had a chance to meet you someday
52:25i'd like to have you show me the list of
52:27goals that you got started and say mr
52:29owen here's some i've already checked
52:30off here's the books i'm reading
52:34here's what's happened i'm developing
52:35the skills i'm better this year than i
52:37was last year
52:39i've got more self-confidence my skills
52:41are developing
52:42that's what i want for you and that's
52:44why i took the time to come and share
52:46in this video message with you
52:49i do seminars all around the world but
52:50this is one way that i can reach out and
52:53touch you in case you can't come to my
52:55seminars
52:56wherever i am
52:57maybe this video will reach you
52:59somewhere and it'll have an impact on
53:01your life
53:02and what i'd like to do is later hear
53:04about it a letter phone call
53:06or to have a chance to meet you in
53:08person
53:09and now i'd like to leave you with these
53:10four questions
53:13called questions to ponder
53:15these questions were valuable for me
53:17and i want to make them valuable for you
53:19here's the first one why
53:22we all ask why we should work this hard
53:25why take that many classes
53:27why go to school that many years you
53:29know why take the notes why read the
53:32books
53:33why work that hard why put yourself
53:35through the push-ups and the disciplines
53:37why good question why
53:40best answer to why i think is the second
53:42question
53:44why not
53:45why not see how many books you can read
53:47how many classes you can take how many
53:49skills you can develop
53:50why not see how valuable you can become
53:52to the marketplace and to your friends
53:54and to your family
53:56why not see what you can make of
53:58yourself why not see how far you can go
54:00how much you can see
54:02how much you can earn how much you can
54:04share
54:05why not
54:06that's the heritage all of us have in
54:08america especially is to see what we can
54:10make out of our lives now that we've
54:12been given this extraordinary
54:14opportunity
54:15now my third question i'd love to ask
54:17you in person
54:19but since i can't do it in person i want
54:21to ask it of all of you but i want you
54:23to take it personally and my third
54:26question is why not you
54:28why not you
54:30with good self-esteem why not you
54:32starting to change and setting goals
54:35why not you starting to make progress
54:37toward financial independence
54:39if i can do it you can do it
54:41i wish i had a lot more testimonials
54:43here today besides mine a whole steady
54:46stream that would come by and tell you
54:47their story
54:49someone who started with nothing finally
54:51run a big enterprise
54:53a mother who was on welfare now she owns
54:55her own business
54:57in addition to my story i wish i had a
54:59lot more
55:00and if all of them told their story
55:02guess how they would probably wind up
55:03their story they'd probably say just
55:05like me why not you
55:07if we can read you can read if we can
55:09change you can change
55:10if we can figure it out you can figure
55:12it out if we can turn it around you can
55:14turn it around
55:15there isn't anything you can't
55:16accomplish that's what those
55:17testimonials would say
55:19and so i want to say it to you
55:20personally why not you
55:22know you've got the brains you've got
55:24the
55:25the stamina you've got the vitality
55:27you've got the interest
55:28you've got your life ahead of you you've
55:30got the future
55:31you can do it if anybody can do it you
55:33can do it if one of us can do it hey we
55:35all can do it
55:37and now here's my last question why not
55:39now
55:40this is a good time
55:42as the 20th century starts to wind down
55:45a few more years as we get ready for
55:47century 21
55:48what a good time
55:50to set your goals work on yourself work
55:52on your skills
55:53what a good time
55:55to get it together what a good time to
55:57start this process
55:59personal development growing changing
56:01developing
56:03having a good plan for your money and
56:05for your life and for your future
56:07why not now
56:08and i hope i have a chance to see you
56:10one of these days and share with you
56:12the experience the reaction response you
56:15might have had
56:16from my message today
56:18and until i get a chance to see you on
56:19this side of the world or the other side
56:21of the world in some school or some
56:23seminar
