Leadership by Jim Rohn

I just received my complete set of Jim Rohn's Guides and I am really looking forward to diving in to some new material.

Starting next week I am going to start a series on how to develop your Leadership Philosophy based on the teaching of Chris Widener a disciple of Jim Rohn.

I have found http://www.success.com to be a great resource to purchase materials and to find articles, links, checklists, videos and blogs.  I also appreciate that the site runs a lot of regular sales and discounts on material. I will make sure and promote the next sale on my twitter @coachkarenblair if you are interested in stocking up on some new personal and professional growth materials. Also, if you are interested in the Jim Rohn set you can find it at The Success Store.

Here are just a few sample quotes from the Guides:

A life best lived is a life by design. Not by accident, and not by just walking through the day careening from wall to wall and managing to survive. That's okay.  But if you can start giving your life dimension and design and color and objectives and purpose, the results can be staggering.

From The Jim Rohn Guide to Goal Setting

Be strong but not rude.
Be kind but not weak.
Be bold but not a bully.
Be humble but not timid.
Be thoughtful but not lazy.
Be proud but not arrogant.
Have humor without folly.

From The Jim Rohn Guide to Leadership

If you have read the series and have a favorite please leave me a comment and I will make sure and start with that one!

Personal Responsibility

 

http://thecompoundeffect.com/

 

On my way into work this morning I was listening to Darren Hardy's The Compound Effect and the chapter was about Personal Responsibility.

Most of us believe that for a relationship to be effective both parties must be willing to give 50/50 but in truth you need to be willing to give 100% and expect back 0%. 

You are 100% responsible for what you get out of each and every relationship. 

You need to own that 100%. 

Each one of us is fully responsible for all our choices and experiences. 

 We must own what we do, don't do, and how we respond to what happens to us.

Once you adopt this philosophy of 100% personal responsibility you can no longer be the victim.  You are responsible for what you did, didn't do, or how you responded to what was done to you.

So starting today, do not make excuses or blame others, the responsibility is on you. 

When things don't go right, look at yourself and what YOU could have done differently!

I wanted to give a big thank you to Sallie Guillory, Associate Head Coach at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, for allowing me to share her notes from Burn Your Goals by Joshua Medcalf and Jamie Gilbert. If you are not receiving Sallie's Coaching newsletter you are missing out.  She does a great job with her content.  When I started this blog I was hoping to create a space where coaches could share ideas so thank you Sallie for sharing this week.

I wanted to give a big shoutout to Sallie Guillory, Associate Head Coach at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, for putting together another great Coaching Newsletter this week and sharing her notes from Burn Your Goals by Joshua Medcalf and Jamie Gilbert.  I will be sharing her notes for the next few days.  From looking at the notes this is a must read for coaches.  Enjoy and please not only read the notes but take the time to reflect and answer some of the questions.  What are you doing with your time?  Is there something you can do more of or less of?  Is there a specific controllable commitment you can start this week?  Ideas are just ideas until you put them into action.
