20 Quotes From Jim Rohn Putting Success and Life Into Perspective

Everyone, and especially entrepreneurs working to build a business from the ground up, enjoys a solid rags-to-riches story. It’s something we can relate to and get behind.

One of the greatest rags-to-riches stories is that of Jim Rohn. Jim spent his entire adult life giving back to humanity by teaching and lecturing about how to gain success in selling. He tried to teach people that they could be whatever they chose to be. Jim was an only child who grew up on a little farm in southwest Idaho, U.S.A., to become what many consider to be America's foremost business philosopher.

Rohn began his career as stock clerk for Sears, but after attending a lecture given by entrepreneur John Earl Shoaff, he decided to follow a different path. He asked Shoaff to be his mentor and followed every bit of advice he could glean from him. Rohn became a direct marketing distributor. Within just six years, Rohn earned his first fortune, then lost the millions he had made. That led him to observe, "Whether you win or whether you earn a million dollars, best you quickly learn how to be a millionaire, or you will lose it."

Rohn was quickly made that money back in just a few short years saying, "The second time I made a fortune was much easier than the first time, because I knew how to." In 1963, Rohn delivered his first public speech and began traveling across the country sharing his personal development philosophy. Anyone who was blessed enough to hear Jim Rohn speak is lucky, indeed. Most of Jim's speeches are available on YouTube and are well worth listening to -- many times. They are truly invaluable.

For more than 40 years, Rohn was one of the most influential and motivational speakers and authors for people seeking advice and guidance on every type of personal development. He monitored and mentored Tony Robbins and received the the 1985 National Speakers Association CPAE Award for excellence in speaking.

If you’re looking to make a change in your life, there is no better words of wisdom than those coming from a true great, and one of my hero's, Jim Rohn. This is just a small sampling of Jim Rohn's many quotable quotes, but they are twenty of his greatest life changing thoughts:

1. “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 challenges, wish for more wisdom.”

2. “How sad to see a father with money and no joy. The man studied economics, but never studied happiness.”

7 Must-Read Success Lessons from Les Brown

Leslie C. “Les” Brown is a motivational speaker, former U.S. politician, popular author, radio DJ, and former host of The Les Brown Show.

Les Brown was born with his twin brother Wesley on February 17, 1945 in a low-income section of Miami, Florida in an abandoned building. He was subsequently given up for adoption and adopted by Mamie Brown, a then 38-year-old single woman who worked as a cafeteria attendant and domestic assistant. He was declared “educably mentally retarded” while in grade school. Despite the obvious self-esteem issues this created, with the encouragement of his mother and assistance by a helpful teacher in high school, he learned how to reach his full potential, a key point in many motivational speeches he gives now.

7 Must-Read Success Lessons from Les Brown:

1. Learn to Win

“There are winners, there are losers, and there are people who have not yet learned how to win.”

Know which battles you shouldn’t be trying to win.  Play to your strengths, there are some things that you will never succeed in, more importantly, there are some things that ONLY you can succeed in.

Key Traits & Motivations That Characterize Entrepreneurs

It's a common misconception that one must be born with the right traits to be a successful entrepreneur. While intelligence and self-confidence certainly help, these traits, along with other characteristics, can be gained and lost throughout life.
Whether or not you have the right personality to be an entrepreneur ultimately depends on your current state of mind: For example, are you currently motivated enough to give up 2 years of pay? Do you have the right skills and contacts to get the business off the ground? Is your idea good enough to invest in? These questions can change depending on your context -- the time and place, as well as your current experiences and current partners. Ask yourself if you have these 4 traits and you can determine whether or not you presently have what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur:

1. Vision

Are you bringing something valuable to your customers? Is your idea better than those of your competitors and/or is it solving a problem that has yet to be addressed?

Vision takes a combination of intuition and practical experience. You have to find a good idea and know how to apply it. The media likes to focus on the intuitive traits -- like Steve Jobs's ability to envision a new use of computers with the graphical user interface, but without his knowledge of the industry and client base, this would have amounted to nothing more than daydreaming.

Another aspect of vision is the ability to determine the resources and capital you need and estimate

how long it will take to earn these back. Drawing a business plan requires you to translate your abstract idea into concrete numbers. In doing so, you may or may not find you have the means to make it a reality.

`~My love for being independent landed me here but before I tell you how it happened, I would like you to think of  what you do with your Internet on social media platforms especially Facebook and Instagram,is it worth your time and bundles?
One day as I was doing my normal stuff on Facebook, I stumbled upon a post about an income generating business opportunity using social media platforms. Since I was in long holiday season and wanted something to do to keep me busy, I thought of giving it a try.
The post had the advertiser’s phone number so I texted for more information. It took him 45 minutes to get back to me but explained that he had an appointment with some other people who had started working with him.
I was invited to attend a 3 hour exposition seminar on how the business works. I was surprised to meet my fellow students from the University of Nairobi and other institutions making over Ksh 10,000 weekly using the same Facebook, Twitter and Instagram I always idled on looking for what to comment on with funny emoji signs.
I couldn’t resist the power of the business and was eager to get started the soonest I could. I met my inviter who was earning up to Ksh 28,000 weekly. This challenged me a lot and I realized that the opportunity was open to anyone including myself in the  1st year of my studies. He described a JOB as a ‘Journey Of The Broke’  which didn’t sound nice to my ears though I agreed to it because I have seen a lot of people who walk the journey of looking for jobs never to get any.
I appreciate my inviter and mentor in the business for this opportunity because he didn’t only show me it existed,but also showed me how to make money online from Social Media platforms. Below is my progress in the business with screen shots of earnings on a weekly basis.

Super Successes who Overcame Failure

Failure is not the alternative to success. It is something that needs to be avoided. On the other hand, it is also, only a temporary setback on a bigger, more significant course. Everybody encounters failure at one point or another. What matters most is how you react to and learn from that failure.

Take the stories of these six entrepreneurs. Their stories end in massive success. All of them are rooted in failure. They are perfect examples of why failure should never stop you from following your dreams.

1. Arianna Huffington got rejected by 36 publishers.

It’s hard to believe that one of the most recognizable names in online publications was once rejected by three dozen major publishers. Huffington’s second book, which she tried to publish long before she created the now ubiquitously recognizable Huffington Post empire, was rejected 36 times before it was eventually accepted for publication.

Even Huffington Post itself wasn’t a success right away. In fact, when it launched, there were dozens of highly negative reviews about its quality and its potential. Obviously, Huffington overcame those initial bouts of failure and has cemented her name as one of the most successful outlets on the web.

2. Bill Gates watched his first company crumble.

Bill Gates is now one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, but he didn’t earn his fortune in a straight line to success. Gates entered the entrepreneurial scene with a company called Traf-O-Data, which aimed to process and analyze the data from traffic tapes (think of it like an early version of big data).

He tried to sell the idea alongside his business partner, Paul Allen, but the product barely even worked. It was a complete disaster. However, the failure did not hold Gates back from exploring new opportunities, and a few years later, he created his first Microsoft product, and forged a new path to success.

3. George Steinbrenner bankrupted a team.

Before Steinbrenner made a name for himself when he acquired ownership of the New York Yankees, he owned a small basketball team called the Cleveland Pipers back in 1960. By 1962, as a result of Steinbrenner’s direction, the entire franchise went bankrupt.

That stretch of failure seemed to follow Steinbrenner when he took over the Yankees in the 1970s, as the team struggled with a number of setbacks and losses throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, despite public fear and criticism of Steinbrenner’s controversial decisions, eventually he led the team to an amazing comeback, with six World Series entries between 1996 and 2003, and a record as one of the most profitable teams in Major League Baseball.

4. Walt Disney was told he lacked creativity.

One of the most creative geniuses of the 20th century was once fired from a newspaper because he was told he lacked creativity. Trying to persevere, Disney formed his first animation company, which was called Laugh-O-Gram Films. He raised $15,000 for the company but eventually was forced to close Laugh-O-Gram, following the close of an important distributor partner.

Desperate and out of money, Disney found his way to Hollywood and faced even more criticism and failure until finally, his first few classic films started to skyrocket in popularity.

5. Steve Jobs was booted from his own company.

Steve Jobs is an impressive entrepreneur because of his boundless innovations, but also because of his emphatic comeback from an almost irrecoverable failure. Jobs found success in his 20s when Apple became a massive empire, but when he was 30, Apple’s board of directors decided to fire him.

Undaunted by the failure, Jobs founded a new company, Next, which was eventually acquired by Apple. Once back at Apple, Jobs proved his capacity for greatness by reinventing the company’s image and taking the Apple brand to new heights.

6. Milton Hershey started three candy companies before Hershey’s.

Everyone knows Hershey’s chocolate, but when Milton Hershey first started his candy production career, he was a nobody. After being fired from an apprenticeship with a printer, Hershey started three separate candy-related ventures, and was forced to watch all of them fail.

In one last attempt, Hershey founded the Lancaster Caramel Company, and started seeing enormous results. Believing in his vision for milk chocolate for the masses, he eventually founded the Hershey Company and became one of the most well-known names in the industry.

Draw inspiration from these stories the next time you experience failure, no matter the scale. In the moment, some failure might seem like the end of the road, but remember, there are countless successful men and women in the world today who are only enjoying success because they decided to push past the inevitable bleakness of failure.

Learn from your mistakes, reflect and accept the failure, but revisit your passion and keep pursuing your goals no matter what.
