Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn

America's foremost business philosopher

Jim Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker. His rags to riches story played a large part in his work, which influenced others in the personal development industry. For more than 40 years, Jim Rohn honed his craft like a skilled artist-helping people the world over sculpt life strategies that have expanded their imagination of what is possible. Those who had the privilege of hearing him speak can attest to the elegance and common sense of his material. It is no coincidence, then, that he is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of our time, and thought of by many as a national treasure. Jim authored countless books and audio and video programs, and helped motivate and shape an entire generation of personal-development trainers and hundreds of executives from America’s top corporations.

Easy to Do. Easy Not to Do.

Jim Rohn tells us that our success in life is all about the two easies. It’s all about consistently doing the tiny (!) fundamentals that are simultaneously super easy to do and super easy not to do. For example, it’s super easy for me to turn off the wi-fi and my phone whe...

Ideas that Open the Doors to Your Infinite Potential

In our last +1, we talked about the fact that we have a baby on the loose in the Johnson house. We also talked about how all those tiny incremental, almost-imperceptible gains can add up to making the impossible easy. Here’s another metaphor for that process.
