There's a lot of things I'd have missed if he hadn't have been blunt.
One day with sort of a curious look on his face, he said, Jim, just out of curiosity, tell me, how come you haven't done well up until now?
Excellent question.
I thought, well, so I won't look too bad, I'll go through my list.
And this list I just gave you, I put that on him.
And he was very patient.
He let me go through the whole thing, the government, the weather.
I went through this whole thing.
When I finished, he looked my list over very carefully.
He said, Mr. Rohn, big problem with your list.
You ain't on it.
How brilliant.
When I went to work for him a few months later, I learned very quickly to tear up my list, reasons for not doing well, and I threw it away.
And I got me a fresh piece of paper.
And I put one word on it.
There's a black heritage spiritual that says it's not my mother, nor my father, nor my brother, nor my sister, but it's me, oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer.
See, I used to blame everything outside.
And then let me give you a little philosophy that helped turn my life around.
For your notes, here it is.
