the challenges of the 21st century." -- Jim
Rohn

is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal
development."
-- Jim Rohn

What Is Estate
Planning?
Estate planning
is the process of accumulating, preserving and distributing assets to
achieve
the financial goals of people during their lifetimes, and to provide
for
their heirs according to the estate owner's wishes at death. As
such,
estate planning is not a one-time event. Instead, it is an
ongoing
process designed to accomplish accumulation, preservation and
distribution
objectives, both during your lifetime and after your death.
Estate
Planning Objectives:
Accumulation:
Estate accumulation objectives involve
accumulating assets and net
worth
during your lifetime by systematically channeling money into savings,
insurance
and investment plans.
Preservation:
Estate preservation objectives include
protecting your ability to earn
an income during your working years and planning to minimize and offset
estate shrinkage at your death.
Distribution:
Estate distribution objectives deal with
identifying and implementing
the
tools and techniques that will distribute estate assets to your heirs
in
an advantageous manner that is consistent with your wishes.

LOVE
THE OPPORTUNITY by Jim Rohn
Somebody
said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true.
What
is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to
build
life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door
may
not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what
might
be behind that door.
For
example, a guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging
ditches?"
The answer is, "No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it
is
your first entry onto the ladder of success, you say, 'I'm glad
somebody
gave me the opportunity to dig ditches and I'm going to do it so well,
I won't be here long.'"
You
can be inspired by having found something even though you are making
mistakes
in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a
new discipline that you haven't learned before. You don't have to love
it, you just have to learn to appreciate America, appreciate
opportunity
and appreciate the person who brought you the good news; who found you.
Appreciate
the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself,
appreciate
the person who said, "Hey, if I can do it, you can do it."
If
you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity
you
will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go
from
being a skeptic to being a believer. And soon when you go out
person
to person, talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling
opportunity in the world. Every person you meet - what could it be?
Unlimited!
Maybe a friend for life. The next person could be an open door to
retiring.
The next person could be a colleague for years to come. It's big
time stuff. And sometimes in the beginning when we are just getting
started
we don't always see how big it is.
So,
before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all
success
is based on long term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few
stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you
are
on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that lead to great
opportunities in the future.
To
Your Success,
Jim
Rohn
