Success is a Numbers Game

So… I get this email from my friend Mike. He actually started this pretty amazing way of learning Chinese called Mando Mandarin. If anyone is interested, check out:

The email was just a reminder of what it takes to become a success. Having people that expect more out of you is the key to being “extra”ordinary. I’m always happy to get emails like the one below. Our quest for greatness and fulfillment are fueled by the constant push amongst our peers… Anyways, here’s the email:

Work may bog us all down, but let us always remember what really gets us ahead!

By Jim Rohn:
My mentor taught me that success is a numbers game and very early he started asking me my numbers. He asked, “How many books have you read in the last ninety days?” I said, “Zero”; he said, “Not a good number.” He said, “How many classes have you attended in the last six months to improve your skills?” And I said, “Zero.” He said, “Not a good number.” Then he said, “In the last six years that you’ve been working, how much money have you saved and invested?” I said, “Zero” and he said, “Not a good number.” Then here’s what he said, “Mr. Rohn, if these numbers don’t change your life won’t change. But” he said, “If you’ll start improving these numbers then perhaps you’ll start to see everything change for you.”

Jim Rohn is one of the most accomplished speakers out there. So ask yourself those same questions and see what type of numbers you have……
