Jim Rohn: How to Make a Living AND a Fortune


In last week's blog, I reflected briefly on the passing of Jim Rohn on 5 Dec 2009. Since then, I have dusted off my copy and re-read his "Seven Strategies..." In our early days in business... sounds prehistoric but it was only in the late 80's; we used to play snippets of his seminar from a very old and well worn VHS video. I have resurrected one of his seminars for your enjoyment and will post it as soon as I secure an MP3 hosting site.

In the meantime, follow the link below (or just google Jim Rohn). Here he is at his peak - a master communicator with a timeless message. If his words and these concepts ignite a spark in you; if you are now at a stage of life where you have sufficient experience and are searching for opportunity with substance; then we need to talk. Give me a call...or email and we can arrange for you to meet informally with one of our regional leaders.

As Robert Kiyosaki explains in 'Rich Dad Poor Dad: "The wealthy don't work for money but for the accumulation of income-producing assets." Any exit-strategy from the rat race requires the development of assets, in this case 'business' which has, at its core, the possibility of making the owner 'redundant'. We have that and the world's finest business training and mentoring program... because you need both. This is why our business team around the world includes everyone from academics to business owners, sports men and women, professionals and students.

A parting thought: Is it possible to attain great material wealth and be unhappy and unfulfilled? Answer: Of course! As Jim explains..."if you should win a million dollars; best that you become a millionaire [in your heart and mind] quickly or you are likely to lose the million dollars". In other words, it's not what you get but what you become in the pursuit of what you want that matters most!

Enjoy Jim Rohn. In the clip below he talks about working harder on ourselves than we do in our jobs. If you're reading this then it's likely that you are one of these people. Congratulations!
