In Twelve Pillars, 2005, Jim Rohn International and Chris Widener International, Rohn and Widener share these fundamental principles of business success in a short story about a fellow named Michael who has a chance encounter with a millionaire who teaches him to improve his life by implementing these 12 principles.
(1) Work harder on yourself than you do on your job - go to seminars, read books, and apply what you learn to your business, profession or trade.
(2) Make certain that the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside of you with regular exercise, even walking 30 minutes daily.
(3) Make the most of the gift of relationships by constantly improving your important relationships.
(4) Achieve goals by deciding what you want to do, writing it down, breaking the goal down into the steps needed to achieve it, and getting started.
(5) Spend each day wisely - manage your time.
(6) Surround yourself with the best people who have high standards.
(7) Be a life-long learner.
(8) Anyone who wants to succeed must learn the art and skill of influencing others - aka - all life is sales.
(9) Income seldom exceeds personal development. If you want more, you have to become more.
(10) When communicating really listen to the other person, try to find common ground, and understand the situation from the other person’s perspective.
(11) To lead others is to help them change their thoughts, beliefs and actions for the better . There is always room for another great leader. Leaders talk about what could be and help others to achieve that vision.
(12) Leave a legacy by living a life that helps others spiritually, intellectually, physically, financially and relationally.
Rating: $$$$$ out of 5. Mastering these 12 principles can help everyone improve in business and in life.
