I thought it important to celebrate his life here on our blog. Jim Rohn has been revered by just about every successful person I know.

If you’re not familiar with Jim Rohn, you can search his name on Google or Youtube. The banner to the right will take you to the official tribute page where you can view the tribute video.

As a business professional and practitioner of personal development, I have turned my vehicle into a rolling university. While driving to and from work I am learning how to improve different areas of my life. I learn from great mentors like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy and of course, at the top of my playing list is Jim Rohn.

I thought I’d share a handful of some of my favorite quotes. So here they are:

“We all have two choices: We can make a living or we can design a life.”

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”

“The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor.”

“Rich people have big libraries – poor people have big TVs.”

“Make rest a necessity, not an objective. Only rest long enough to gather strength.”

“After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what’s important is not the million dollars; what’s important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire.”

“Good service leads to multiple sales. If you take good care of your customers, they will open doors you could never open by yourself.”

“I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. Perhaps that is because escape is easier than change.”

“Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people.”

“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”

“The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.”

“The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me.”

Hope you’ve enjoyed the quotes. If you don’t own any of Jim’s stuff, you should! What a great man.
