Why Weigh, Count and Measure? by Jim Rohn
- weigh,
- count and
- measure.
- Your philosophy needs to be fine-tuned,
- your attitude needs to be strengthened or
- your disciplines need extra skill.
Now on results I teach that life expects you to make measurable progress in reasonable time. But, you must be reasonable with time. You can’t say to someone every five minutes, How are you doing now? That’s too soon to ask for a count. Guy says, “I haven’t left the building yet, give me a break!” Now you can’t wait five years—that’s too long. Too many things can go wrong waiting too long for a count to see how you’re doing.
Here are some good time frames:
Number one: at the end of the day.
- You can’t let more than a day go by without looking at some things and making progress. The New Testament says, “If you are angry, try to solve it before the sun goes down.”
Here’s the next one: a week.
- He asked, “How many books have you read in the last 90 days?”
- I said, “Zero.”
- He said, “Not a good number.”
- He said, “How many classes have you attended in the last six months to improve your skills?”
- And I said, “Zero.”
- He said, “Not a good number.”
- Then he said, “In the last six years that you’ve been working, how much money have you saved and invested?”
- I said, “Zero,” and he said, “Not a good number.”
- Then here’s what he said: “Mr. Rohn, if these numbers don’t change, your life won’t change. But if you’ll start improving these numbers, then perhaps you’ll start to see everything change for you.”
“Am I making the progress I want and will it take me where I want to go now and in the future?”

[…] Lumosity Performance Index (LPI) is a standardized scale calculated from your game scores. LPI helps you compare your strengths and weeknesses across games that challenge different cognitive abilities (the 5 Brain areas mentioned above). Your Overall LPI is avaraged from game scores in all Five Brain Areas. I really like how I keep improving my LPI and also how a measure up against other “lumositers”.. I appriciate the gamification of it. It also give me a value that I can improve. Learn more about WHY measure […]
