The Life of Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn was born on September 17, 1930 into a farming family in Idaho. Hard work on the farm taught him responsibility and good work ethics.

Although he was an exceptional student, he dropped out of college, took a job as a stock clerk, and settled into a life of financial struggle. During this time, he attended a lecture by John Earl Shoaff, a wealthy entrepreneur. Shoaff became a millionaire by the age of 31 and he challenged the 25-year-old Rohn to achieve the same goal. As it turns out, Jim Rohn did become a millionaire by the age of 31, although Shoaff didn't live long enough to see it happen.

As word of his success grew, Jim Rohn became popular on the lecture circuit. He gave his first rags to riches speech at a local Rotary Club and before long he was giving seminars to large audiences and teaching his beliefs on personal development as it related to entrepreneurism and financial success.

Jim Rohn lectured to top executives of some of the largest corporations in the world as well as the common person. He spent 40 years traveling the world delivering his motivational messages. He is credited for influencing such notables as Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, T. Harv Eker, and Brian Tracy.

The Message of Jim Rohn

One of the popular self improvement books by Jim Rohn is 'Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle.' In it, Rohn lays out the road to a successful life.

• Philosophy – To be successful one must hold the right thoughts and beliefs.

• Attitude – It is also necessary to have the right attitude or feelings.

• Action – Taking inspired action towards achieving goals is critical.

• Results – There needs to be a system in place for measuring progress.

• Lifestyle – The end result of using the four principals above correctly is living a dream lifestyle.

Rohn taught his students these principals for success as well as practical techniques such as journal keeping and goal making.

He felt no one should settle for a life of financial struggle when success could be achieved with the right mindset.
