I’m feeling pretty sad at the moment. I just discovered Jim Rohn passed away on the 5th of December, 2009. For those of you who don’t know, Jim Rohn he was a great man. He was considered by many people to be the father of Personal Development and Self Improvement. He was a mentor to me in more ways then one.
I never met Mr. Rohn, but his words have inspired me and helped me to become the man I am today. He is responsible for changing millions of peoples lives. Years ago I ran across a small collection of quotes from Jim Rohn. Those quotes are what started me on my path. Many of the people who he influenced became role models for me and thus influenced me as well.
So I’m deeply hurt at the moment because even though I never met him I feel like I just lost a great friend. To be honest, I don’t know where I would be in my life right now or what my life would be like if I never discovered his words. His words opened up a whole new reality to me. For the first time ever I felt like I could actually see something other couldn’t. It was a special moment for me and to be honest it’s a little hard to describe. It was MY MOMENT and Jim brought it about with his words.
He inspired me, motivated me and most importantly…kicked me in the rear and forced me to take action. One of the biggest lessons I ever learned from Rohn’s words were in order for “it” to get better, “YOU” must get better. He taught the only way to really accomplish anything was to work hard, set goals, become a better person, and provide more value to the marketplace than anyone else.
This lesson shaped me as a human and a business. I have posted a video of Jim Rohn that I always liked below. It contained a few quotes that always meant a lot to me. I prayers are with Mr. Rohn and his family. Rest in Peace Jim Rohn, Rest in Peace.

Josh and I were talking on the phone and the topic of Jim Rohn came up and how he had recently passed away… And while we were sad about it, we couldn’t help but celebrate his memory because both of us feel like he’s been a huge mentor in a lot of ways, to people who want to become better and improve their lives. What an amazing man — I know that his teachings will live on. He will be missed greatly.
