Let's go do it! by Jim Rohn
To really help people in extraordinary ways, learn to deal in
challenges. That is what sports is all about: challenges. That is what music is
all about. The challenge to play so well, someone is inspired. The challenge to
say it so well, someone gets it. The challenge to be so gifted in language that
someone sees it. Insight is unbelievable; only human beings can do this.
The man closes his eyes and puts
his hands over his eyes and says, “I see it.” You say, “No, you don’t; you’ve
got your eyes closed.” No. There is more than one way to see. And all someone
has to do is to see an answer that they can start on immediately, and within
six months, their life could start to multiply and change. Within one year, the
difference will be extraordinary, and a person who was lost now becomes a
person of influence—just because someone helped them to see for the moment what
was wrong and the possibility to change it. And then the challenge to go do it
and do it well.
Now, here is the best challenge of all: “Let’s go do it.” Don’t
always say, “You go do it. You change.” But rather, “Let’s get healthy. Let’s
go change the world. Let’s build an enterprise. Let’s work on this together.”
See, I always respond better to “let’s.” Sometimes it is hard to lift yourself
out. It’s hard to be self-inspired at first. And if someone says, “Come on,
let’s start a new program.” “Come on, let’s do exercises.” “Come on, let’s get
healthy.” “Come on, let’s start something. I’ll be there, you be there, and you
bring a guest and I’ll bring a guest—let’s start something.” That is so
inspiring to have somebody say “let’s.” “Let’s do it.” “Let’s build a team.”
“Let’s win the championship.” “Let’s walk off with the trophy.”
“Let’s.” Wow, there is something
about that that can keep you awake at nights. There is something about that
that turns on the juices. There is something about that that reaches deep in
the soul. For a person could do extraordinary things when somebody says
“Let’s.” “Let’s do it.” “I’ve got two with me already; if you’ll be the next
one, we can conquer the world.” You say, “Whoa, together nobody is a match for
us.” By yourself, you’re vulnerable; but with us, nobody is a match. You say,
“Wow! I want to belong to that team.” So figure out ways to say “Let’s.”
