The 12 Pillars of Success

Jim Rohn and Chris Widener wrote a book called “The 12 Pillars”. It offered some food for thought. The twelve pillars are the twelve foundational basics for success.

I thought you might like to hear what they are:

1) The only way things are going to change for you is when YOU change! This relates to personal development! Success comes when you develop yourself beyond where you currently are.

2) Make sure that the outside of you is a good reflection of the inside. This pertains to total well being in your body, soul and spirit.

3) "Time, effort and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. Make the most of the Gift of Relationships."

4) Achieve your goals! The major reason that you set goals, id for what it makes of you to accomplish them!

5) Time management. Spend time on the activities that align with your goals.

6) Hang out with the right people (ie this group :) ). Spend time with people who have high expectations of you and where the demands to perform are high.

7) Be a life long learner! Self education is the key. Mike Dillard always says the most successful people are always the ones with the largest libraries.

8) All of life is sales! Influence is the key to a successful life. Learn the art and skill of influencing others.

9) "What you become directly influences what you get." Your income seldom exceeds your personal development.

10) "Communication brings the common ground of understanding." Learn to communicate and more importantly learn to truly LISTEN!

11) Be a leader! "To lead others is to help them change their thoughts, beliefs and actions for the better."

12) Leave a legacy." Live a life that serves as an example of what an exceptional life can look like."

Hope these help and you can get the book HERE.
