Jim Rohn

Start with the little disciplines, get excited over the little disciplines and get right on those because those will lead to the big ones.

You can't handle the big challenges in life unless you take on the little ones.

Make a list of all the things you can do, get right on those, discipline yourself for those, both for the results and for the muscle and for the practice.

So that when life hands you some big challenges, you'll be ready, you'll have the muscle.

But see, if you don't handle the small ones, you can't take care of the big ones

Okay, here's what else it takes for life change.

Self-motivation.

Key phrase, self-motivation.

I don't know why we call it self-motivation.

It's really the only kind there is.

You've got to motivate yourself.

Because I found out you can't change people.

They can change themselves, but you can't change them.

Lord knows some I've tried.

But see, it won't work.

People have to change themselves.

I learned some of those lessons early.

I built a little sales organization way back in those early days.

I'm 25 and I had some nice people.

I said, I'm gonna make these people successful if it kills me.
