Turn-Around legend<\/strong>, Jim Rohn, passed on today. He is and will be missed by many. He was a master of the basics and an inspiration to all.<\/p>\n

Jim’s story is a classic RoadTurn. He came from a rural town and modest means, dropped out of college to marry his sweetheart, then discovered that it’s tough to support a family on wages. Providence brought him to work under a mentor–John Earl Shoaff<\/a>–and it was there that Jim learned the first secret of success: There are just a few things that can make a big difference in your life. Find those and concentrate on doing them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Rohn went on to become one of the most celebrated professional speakers of all time and a millionaire by age 31. Following are a few quotes from Jim and from the memorial tribute<\/a> on the Jim Rohn International website. May the Creator continue to bless and keep Jim Rohn and take special care of his family.<\/p>\n

Harold Dyke, long time close friend of Jim\u2019s for over 55 years said it best, \u201cAs Jim is ending one life he is simultaneously being birthed into a new life. One that he has talked about over the years and anticipated with great joy in his last remaining days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone once said \u201cwhen you are born you enter the world crying while everyone else is rejoicing and when you die hopefully you have lived such a life that everyone will be crying while you are rejoicing\u201d. Jim Rohn lived such a life.<\/p>\n

Don’t just read the easy stuff. You may be entertained by it, but you will never grow from it. <\/p>\n

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know. <\/p>\n

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
