White's Ezine

Issue 30
Welcome!
Are you looking for a speaker?
Well...I am looking for a meeting!
I will travel anywhere for a speech. Just last week I was scheduled to
speak in Brussels, Belgium on Dec 1st and last year found myself in
Singapore. So whether your meeting is in my home town of Dallas, Texas
or literally halfway around the world - let's make it happen!
My most popular talk is The Business Building Power of a Trained
Memory. In this talk, I memorize up to 100 audience members' names
and a 40-digit number that your group creates, and that I never see.
Then I teach your group to recall names, product knowledge, sales
training, chapters of books, numbers, and much more!
My next most requested talk is To Have A Winning Year. In this
talk I cover: The Ten Commandments of Selling; Memory Skills To Boost
Productivity and An Attitude For Achievement.

1. An Undisputed Advantage by Ron White
Sometimes success in life is a result of setting yourself apart from
your competition or simply everyone else. There is one behavior that
without a doubt will give you an advantage over those around you. I will
allow Thomas Jefferson explain to share what that is. He once said,
"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain
always cool and unruffled under all circumstances."
Have you ever been in a stressful situation or in a storm of life in
which you were not able to maintain your cool? It happens to all of us.
Billy Joel puts it this way in his hit song 'Pressure':
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure
Jefferson and Joel are in agreement that you will have to handle
pressure. Jefferson suggests that how you respond to that pressure can
give you a distinct advantage over those around. Accepting the fact that
you will encounter adverse situations, how do you prepare yourself to
always remain cool?
You must run through this check list before the moment of truth arrives,
because under pressure this list is clouded and feels miles away.
Remind yourself that your life has seen many challenges and you worked
through each one and are still standing today.
Remind yourself that you are not the first to encounter obstacles and
others have made it – so can you.
Unless you are being attacked in a physical manner, never allow yourself
to respond without knowing all the facts.
Again, unless being attacked in a physical manner practice the rule of
five, and that is slowly counting to yourself to five before you
respond.
Do not fear walking away from the table as you allow the issue to cool.
Do not shirk from asking for help. A team is always stronger than an
individual. The question is not, will you encounter struggles in life.
The question is how will you respond? For a distinct advantage over
others, remember the words of our third president and keep your head.

2. Quotes of
The Week
PREPARATION
"You cannot speak that which you do not know. You cannot share that
which you do not feel. You cannot translate that which you do not have.
And you cannot give that which you do not possess. To give it and to
share it, and for it to be effective, you first need to have it. Good
communication starts with good preparation." -- Jim Rohn
"One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we
didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared." -- Merlin Olsen
"It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to
have an opportunity and not be prepared." -- Whitney Young, JR.
"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his
opportunity when it comes." -- Benjamin Disraeli
"The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight." --
Arthur Ashe
"Man must be prepared for every event of life, for there is nothing that
is durable." -- Menander of Athens
"The most successful people in every area invariably spend far more time
in preparation than the least successful." -- Brian Tracy
"By chance, you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is
prepared." -- Louis Pasteur
"What distinguishes winners is the will to prepare to win." -- Tony
Jeary
"From product knowledge springs the expertise to work with clients in
the effective and professional manner that earns high income. Invest ten
minutes daily reviewing your product information or using your product
so you know it inside and out." -- Tom Hopkins
3. Back to Boot Camp by Chris Widener
You know, whenever you are going to make a major change and begin to
undergo a different lifestyle, it is probably good to make a massive
move in that direction. Think about it. As the old saying goes, "If you
always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have
always got!" So if you keep on living the way you are living, you will
keep right on with the life that in many ways you wish was changing! So
how do you change your life? You change what you are doing!
This is the basic idea behind the military's Boot Camp. You know the
drill. This is where they take a bunch of 18-year-old kids who think
they are in pretty good shape, both physically and psychologically and
they put them through six weeks of misery! But the misery is
intentional!
All of the hard work and physical and mental exercise they put the young
folks through is to strengthen them and to prepare them for the jobs
they will be performing later on. Could you imagine if the military took
a lackadaisical approach and greeted every new recruit with, "Welcome to
the Army. We are going to work you easy into your new lifestyle. You can
get up tomorrow around ten and brunch will be served at eleven. Come as
you are." No way! They get them accustomed to drastic and massive change
because they want them to have drastic and massive change in their
lives. The only time they ever got up at four a.m. before was to go
fishing'! Now it will be every morning!
So what about a life boot camp? Is it possible? Is it something we
could, or should, try? I think for many people, the idea of a six-week
period of drastic change would be great for them. Even if they didn't
live that way the rest of their lives they would still probably make a
major shift in the direction they want to go and would be happy with the
results they would receive.
So here are some thoughts on ways you could go through a life boot camp.
Give it a try for six weeks, just like in boot camp, and see if it
doesn't make a difference in your life. As always, if you are going to
do something physically, contact a doctor and if financially, contact
your financial advisor before beginning anything.
Health.
Try getting up a half hour earlier and going for a walk or a run every
day. Perhaps you just skip a half hour of television at night and do it
then.
Try cutting out desserts or other favorite fattening foods.
Emotions.
Make contact with a broken relationship and begin to get together with
them to restore your friendship.
Take time each day, even if just for fifteen minutes to sit quietly in
silence or with some soft music just to quiet your spirit.
Finances.
Don't make any new purchases that aren't essential for six weeks.
Take any extra money you get and pay it all toward your debt. Every
nickel!
Spiritual.
Attend your local family of faith for six weeks in a row.
Take time each day to listen to some spiritual music or read good faith
building literature. (This can probably be combined with the time you
take for emotions)
These are just some thoughts for you. I am sure you can come up with
some of your own. The idea is to make a drastic step in the right
direction. Maybe you do all of them; maybe you combine just a few. The
goal, however, is to put yourself into a life boot camp situation. That
is what will help you change and make you strong!

Ron recently completed a speaking tour in Malaysia and Singapore where
he shared the stage with several well known and respected presenters.
After the tour was complete, he was astounded to find out that out of

from both audiences! The events went so well he has been invited back to
conduct a 20 city tour of China next year, then Thailand and Australia!

He memorized the first seven chapters of the book of Proverbs for the

you, "What is amazing is not that I can do these things...it is amazing
that I can teach ANYONE to do these things!"

22 Success Lessons From Baseball
How to Develop the Mind of Einstein
Selling's Not Telling
A Message From Ron White....
In my talk How to Have a Winning Year, I cover three key areas. The
first area is Memory Skills to Boost Productivity. I do the exact same
demonstration live for your group that I did on FOX television when I
broke the Guinness World Record for memory by memorizing a 28-digit
number in 1 minute and 15 seconds. This will generate the excitement and
interest on how powerful the human brain actually is. Then we transition
to remembering names and faces. We will talk about the value of giving
speeches without using notes and being able to memorize your product
knowledge or information pertinent to your job.
The second part of my How to Have a Winning Year talk is How to Maintain
Positive, Upward, Consistent Growth in Your Life. Believe it or not,
there is a way to not ride that rollercoaster of life with ups and
downs. Sure there are still going to be ups and downs, but you can help
make the slope consistent, positive and maintain upward growth.
And finally, we will close out the How to Have a Winning Year talk with
How to Think Life the Great Thinkers -- Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and
Alexander Graham Bell. We will look at the lives of these great thinkers
and find out what it was that enabled them to tap into the other 90% of
the brain that most are not using.
This seminar is going to be fun, it is going to be professional and it
is going to be educational. Your group is going to be laughing and they
are going to have a great time. But they will also walk away with some
very tangible skills that they an put into practice that day to increase
their productivity and to increase their performance.
This seminar will be one you will never forget. I am looking forward to
it and I hope you are as well. Please call or email and let's schedule
this wonderful opportunity for your group today.
