For the rest of this week, I’ll be posting videos from Jim Rohn. The theme for this week would be creating value to create wealth. In today’s post I’ll be focusing on how you can increase your value.

Some Important Points To Note About Jim Rohn’s Speech

1) “The Amount of Wealth You Get Is Based On The Amount of Value You Give To The Marketplace”

Now isn’t that interesting? Take a closer look at what he said:

The amount of wealth you GET is based on the amount of value you GIVE to the marketplace.

I want to highlight something very basic here that I think you’ll appreciate:

You have to give before you get.

At a glance you may think, “That’s a given of course!”

But think back to your last birthday. You know the one when a friend you expected to remember it FORGETS!

You probably asked yourself “Why?”

That’s the wrong question! The question you should be asking yourself is, “Did I give him or her enough attention?” and you’ll probably find your answer to your first question.

Remember, to get what you want you must first help others get what they want. That’s the Law of Attraction at its very core! =)

2) Give To The Marketplace

Jim Rohn highlighted that the value is based on what you give to the MARKETPLACE and nothing else.

So, if you’re the best listener in the world but you’re in the Information Technology industry, that’s not going to add a cent to your value to earn wealth! Computers don’t need a good listener! ;)

I’ve read tons after tons after tons of books in my lifetime and I’ve got to say that the #1 thing that stands out to me is the WiiFM radio station.

You’re probably going, “HUH?!”

What I meant was the “What’s In It For Me” principle.

Whatever you do and how you do it has to be centered to the person you’re serving or talking to.

Hence, to increase the value, you’ll have to evaluate what the other party finds to be valuable, not what YOU think is valuable. (or worse yet, what is valuable to you!)

3) “This is America… This is a LADDER.”

I don’t know if you found any comfort in that but I think that statement just initiated a paradigm shift in me!

I mean… I’ve always known that everyone has the right to be financially independent, but the reason wasn’t very clear until Jim highlighted that we’re living in a capitalist society!

We can climb the ladder! Just like how Jim Rohn went from a farm boy to a multi-millionaire!

I don’t know about you but when Jim Rohn said that he was a farm-boy once I immediately realized something. There’s really not much of a difference between a multi-millionaire and a farm boy!

The only difference is in the way they think!

And that’s the difference that makes a difference!

I am so happy and grateful that we live in this kind of society because it means that anyone can become rich and it truly is our birthright!

I’ve written extensively on how Millionaires think and you could (and should) knock yourself out with this arsenal of “secret weapons” as I’d like to call it at:
