Jim Rohn

American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker

Jim Rohn was raised in a farm in Idaho and had none of the interests of a wealthy family. His mother, Claire and father, Emmanuel sent him to his local school where he decided the only thing he was gaining was the knowledge of sound convention. His story telling skills, gifted to him by his father, did not aid much in providing him much initiative on who he intended to be. Throughout his education, he insisted that he was not learning that which he wanted to learn - life.

By this time, Rohn was not only a husband but also a father and did not have much perspective of what he was going to do next. He was invited to a seminar by Earl Shoaff by a friend while he was still constantly struggling to find ways to provide for his family. From that point onwards began a five year long step by step journey for Rohn to find his inner self. Shoaff had personally started coaching Rohn with the fundamental principles of life such as prioritizing personal growth above a mere job, registering philosophy behing income rather than economy and the most important of all - in order for change to be brought about in life, you must begin with altering your own self.

Thus Rohn adapted to his new way of life - the constant path of self improvement. The realization that he could achieve anything and everything that he desired with the application of the accurate craftsmanship gave him firm ground to stand on. Rohn started off as a mere clerk at a departmental store. However, he mentally acknowledged that something would be better than nothing and to have some amount of profit would certainly be more appreciable as compared to wages. It seemed that the final stage of Shoaff's life had been decided to serve as a guiding force for Rohn by an entity mightier than all because before Shoaff died at the age of 49, exactly five years after their first meeting, he encouragingly dared Rohn to become a millionaire and only a year following this, Rohn fulfilled the dream Shoaff had had for him. Appallingly remarkable though this journey was, gaining that many riches was only just the beginning of Rohn's legacy.

"Don't wish it was easier wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom"
