Issue 107
Welcome!
As you read this newsletter, I am in London, England, awaiting the start of the World Memory Championship. This week, I talked via e-mail with Tony Dottino (the founder of the USA Memory Championship) and he said something that really made me think and encouraged me. He said, “Everyone who is sitting in the chairs at the championship is already a winner in the game of life.”
Tony is right. It would have been easy for me to not compete, not train and, instead, focus on other things. It would have been easy because this competition is TOUGH. But I feel like a winner based on the simple fact that I will be there competing against the best in the world.
I encourage you to push yourself and compete in your own arena. Your competition is just your last best time, high score or top sale. When you enter this competition, in the words of Tony Dottino, “You are already winner in the game of life.”
By the way, why not set a goal to compete in the USA Memory Championship in March 2010 in New York? I know you figure you couldn’t, but I can teach you! You could do it and you would be so proud of yourself for just being there!

1. Free Time by Ron White
My friends and I were having dinner. The topic of success came up and I remained silent. I wanted to hear what they had to say. Someone who had been my friend for over 20 years spoke to the group; however, I knew his words were meant for me. He boldly proclaimed, “Success is all luck... luck... that is all it is!” He then looked at me as if to say, “You are a lucky man and that is it.”
I didn’t say a word, but I confess that it hurt. He was one of my best friends and although it wasn’t a direct quote, he was telling me that he didn’t respect my success because it was all luck. In other words, he could have done the same if he was just as lucky.
I mulled this over for a few days and then let it go. What could I do?
Then some time after that, my truck window broke and I had to park in his garage for the day to stay out of the rain. I was stuck at his home for six hours. During the six hours, I watched five of his friends come over and they all watched the comedy channel and consumed adult beverages for five hours. It was driving me up a wall! I wanted to go for a run, write, read a book, goal-set, strategize or spend time with someone that I loved. Instead, I wasted six hours watching the comedy channel.
I am not suggesting that watching television or the comedy channel is a waste of time. Most certainly not. However, it was obvious that this was their daily routine. Then it hit me!
Success is not a result of luck. It is a result of how you spend your free time!
He and I both work hard. The difference is when my workday is done my free time is productive and his is not.
My 6-CD Memory in a Month program was created in my free time. Every month, I get checks in the mail because of this program, and I will never have to do a single bit of work again for it. I did the work in my free time. My friend was watching the comedy channel. Today, his mailbox is empty.
Success is a result of luck? No, success is a result of how you spend your free time.
—Ron White
Have you ever seen the memory experts on television who can memorize 200 names in 20 minutes, a deck of cards faster than you can flip through them, 400-digit numbers or a long list of words? Well, not only can I do these things, but I can teach you how to do them! Learn more now!
2. Quotes of The Week
CHARACTER
“Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character...” —Stephen Covey
“Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.” —John Wooden
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” —James D. Miles
“Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” —John Wooden
“Character is a quality that embodies many important traits, such as integrity, courage, perseverance, confidence and wisdom. Unlike your fingerprints that you are born with and can’t change, character is something that you create within yourself and must take responsibility for changing” —Jim Rohn
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” —Helen Keller
3. Keeping Your Mind Tuned for Success by Chris Widener
Absolutely no one can overestimate the power of the mind and its role in our success! It is imperative to keep our minds right and on the right track if we are to achieve balanced success in our career, finances, health, emotions, relationships and spiritual lives.
The analogy I would like to use here is one of a radio station. For example, there may be a “Success” station. But the only way you can hear a radio station is to be tuned into it. Even a little off and you can’t get the full effect.
The same is true with our mind and success. If our minds and our thoughts get sidetracked, our success will get sidetracked. As our minds stay tuned to “success” our bodies will then carry out our success and we will begin to experience abundance!
So here are some ways to keep tuned into success!
Use your innate ability to decide and choose. One of the things that separate us from the animals is that we live not by instinct, but by choice. Constantly flexing that muscle of choice builds it up and keeps us on track for success. It is like working out. The more we do, the stronger we get—the more “fit” we get. Want to keep your mind tuned for success? Keep it healthy by making good choices and decisions on a regular basis. For example, do you have a bad habit? Then flex your mind muscle and choose to change—today. If you choose to stay the same way (and those are the only two alternatives) you will have just chosen to tune your mind to a different station than “success.”
Put good stuff into your brain. There are lots of things that want to work their way into our minds (and eventually work themselves out again in our actions). There will be lots that we just get from walking around all day. But what about what we put in on purpose? We can choose to put good stuff in on a regular basis. Do you take time each day to put good things into your mind, to tune into success? Here are two things to consider when you are choosing what to put into your mind: First, is it positive? Will it build you up or tear you down? Will it make you a better person, or lesser? Will you grow from it or not? Will it tune you to success or not? Secondly, Will it move you toward your goals in the areas of your life that you want to see success and abundance in?
Keep the junk out. Like I mentioned above, there will always be junk floating around, like a fellow employee who gripes all the time. But what surprises me is how many people who want success actually willfully choose to put junk into their minds and then expect to be tuned into success. Here are some thoughts on this: First, evaluate everything that you put into your mind. Evaluate what you read, listen to and watch. We live in a fast-paced world and we have little time. Why then would we spend our precious time putting junk into our minds? Does what you read, listen to and watch move you toward your goals or away from them? It is a simple question, really. At least most of the time. And here is my soapbox. Eleven years ago, my wife suggested we give away our television. I was shocked to say the least, but decided to give it a try. Now I am the anti-TV fanatic in our house! I have more time than anyone I know and I don’t have to spend a lot of energy filtering my mind to tune it to success. Just a thought.
Eat right and exercise. That’s right. The way we eat and the amount of exercise we get goes a long way toward our mind’s ability to tune into success. Put the right foods into your body and the brain responds. Exercise on a regular basis and the body releases chemicals that literally ignite your brain for success!
Hope these thoughts help you to get going and keep your mind tuned into success. Put them into practice and soon you’ll be dialed into success and abundance.
—Chris Widener
