I'm constantly asked --- "What are your favorite personal development programs?"
Before writing this blog, I really had to give it some thought as my collection is well into the hundreds.
Admittedly...most aren't worth the .05 cent CD they're burned into. Still there are some gems.
Obviously, there are programs on any number of topics, but for the sake of sanity, I'll stay in the motivational realm.
Here goes (I'll also link, so you can get them if your interested)...
1. The Art of Exceptional Living by Jim Rohn
I have listened to this program at least twice a year or more since 1992. This is the most down-to-earth program on living a terrific lifestyle and making decisions using your common sense.
2. Think Like a Billionaire by Martin Fridson
This is a very thought provoking program for those who think BIG in business. Get an inside glimpse of just how different billionaires think from the rest of us.
3. How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere by Larry King
If you want to learn how to talk to your boss, coworkers, friends or family members --- this is a must-have for communication excellence!
4. Leadership Mastery Course by Dale Carnegie
Another gem! If you want to develop better leadership skills, buy this right way and listen to it a minimum of three times. You will see yourself and others in a whole new light. A must for executives and managers!
5. How to Master Your Time by Brian Tracy
This program will show you how to prioritize tasks so you work on "A" priorities first. All the rest can wait. You will become a taskmaster instantly!
6. The Science of Personal Achievement by Napoleon Hill
This is a classic. This is Napoleon Hill, in his own voice, teaching the basics of "Think and Grow Rich." You will learn the 17 success principles common to some of the world's wealthiest people.
7. Start Here by Earl Nightingale
This program contains Earl's classics. Earl is the reason I got into the self-help business. He passed before I started working for Nightingale-Conant. I was there for eight glorious years!
8. Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone
This is the only program I know of that actually has recordings of W. Clement Stone expounding his success philosophies. You may not know it, but at the time he recorded this program, he was one of the world's wealthiest people. This is a must-have!
9. Success Is Your Own Damn Fault by Larry Winget
They don't call Larry "The Pitbull of Self Development" for nothing. Larry will take away your excuses with his harsh sense of humor and bottom line success strategies. I love listening to Larry and so will you.
10. See You At The Top by Zig Ziglar
This is Zig's best! Just get it! No need for explanation.
Here are some other thoughts on success...
- Don't gossip about others!
- Stop waiting to do things until the time is perfect or waiting until tomorrow!
- If you take prescription psychological drugs - you are doomed - you are not thinking correctly! (Like it or not, you are slowly becoming a drug addict. Deal with your issues rationally.)
- Lay off the junk food!
- If you're fat, do something about it!
- Throw away the diet books and pills and get off your behind and work off those calories!
- Always be your spouses best advertisement! (Thanks to the minster who taught me this.)
- Never put people down or judge people based on your standards!
- Stay away from negative people! Even friends and family if need be!
- Keep your car clean - inside AND OUT!
- Wear good quality clothes always!
- Treat your kids like adults - not babies!
- Test your bodies alkaline balance often!
- Make your bosses job easier!
- Go the extra mile!
- Join a club or fraternity of like-minded people!
- Reward yourself whenever you accomplish something!
- Stop thinking anyone is a guru or expert - they're not!
- Think for yourself!
- Listen to good books on CD or MP3 in your car!
- Think BIG!
- Be in the moment!
- Forget your mistakes and move on!
- Do not blame your parents for your issues! Grow up!
- Treat your spouse with respect and dignity!
- Don't ever say something you may regret!
- If you're angry with someone, do not speak to them at all for 24 hours!
- Take daily walks and soothe your mind!
- When you make a mistake, remember "This Too Shall Come to Pass!"
Live life as if it is your last day because it just may be!
Gotta run!
Until next time...
