Jim Rohn, America's Business Philosopher, died on December 5, 2009. I had him as my keynote speaker at Women's Small Business Expo in 2005.
He was wise, funny, and full of amazing knowledge. The women business owners hung on his every word and couldn't wait to get their books signed and have their photos taken with him.
His teachings have had a huge impact on my life and I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from Jim Rohn:
“If you
don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's
plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.”
“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”
Jim Rohn inspired so many people and I was honored to have him speak at Women's Small Business Expo. He will be deeply missed.
Please share your thoughts and comments.
I loved Jim Rohn and am so sorry to hear he has left us. I wrote about him in The Wealthy Spirit:
Jim Rohn, a great speaker and business philosopher, writes that motivation is a mystery. He said, “Give a lecture to a thousand people. One walks out and says, ‘I’m going to change my life.’ Another one walks out with a yawn and says, ‘I’ve heard all this before.’ Why is that?” He shakes his head in wonder that a millionaire tells a thousand people about a book that started him on the path to wealth, yet very few of them ever get the book. If people are listening to this man talk, and probably paid money to hear him, why wouldn’t they do what he told them to do? He called this a mystery of life.
He was a very wise man from whom I learned a lot. Thanks for writing about him, Linda, and have a wonderful holiday!
