Inspirational Quotes by Jim Rohn (American Entrepreneur)

Jim Rohn (1930–2009) was an American motivational speaker and author. His rags-to-riches story played a large part in his success in the self-help industry.

Born on a farm in Yakima, Washington, Rohn was a protégé of the self-help speaker John Earl Shoaff, who was also a vice-president of sales in a nutritional supplement enterprise called AbundaVita. Rohn joined AbundaVita, grew prosperous, and spun his rags-to-riches story into a famous personal development philosophy lecture called “Idaho farm boy makes it to Beverly Hills.” This lecture evolved into a series of “Adventures in Achievement” live seminars and personal development workshops that Rohn delivered for over 40 years.

Rohn mentored other self-help speakers and authors, including Tony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, and T. Harv Eker.

Rohn’s notable publications include Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle (1991,) 7 Strategies for Wealth & Happiness (1996,) and the collection of essays The World is Yours (2019.)

You must take personal responsibility.
You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons,
or the wind, but you can change yourself.

but you do have charge of whether you read,
develop new skills, and take new classes.
