Jim Rohn Quotes Motivation

Jim Rohn Quotes Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. You cannot change your destination overnight. You can change your direction.

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen if that is what you want.

That is exactly what Jim Rohn wanted, who went from doing ordinary things as a Farm Boy to being extraordinarily well as one of the world’s greatest Motivators.

That’s right, Jim started as an ordinary everyday Farm Boy and went to greater heights in life.

So can you, because you are worth it.

Early Days

Now, although Jim did go to college, it was only short-lived. Jim Rohn only stayed for less than 2 years.

He felt he could better deal with work in real life than just sitting and hiding his head behind a book.

In his early twenties, he started working as a clerk, got married, and like many others, was behind on the bills and down on their luck.

Jim wanted more out of his life but was not sure how to go about it.

It wasn’t later that a friend of his mentioned that he worked for someone who was not only rich but a sagacious person.

This man was presenting his philosophy on life and spoke in a way others could easily relate to.

Jim Rohn sat down and listened to this man as he spoke. Jim couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

He found a new light in the world he lived in that he didn’t even know existed.

It was a world of opportunity, filled with secrets of wealth, prosperity, and happiness.

As he listened to this speaker, he realized that this is the same world he exists in.

It enables you to be anything you wanted to be true, and you could have anything you wanted to have!

As he was listening, an idea flashed before his eyes.

He knew he had to be associated with this person if he could make something of himself and continue to learn more about these secrets of wealth and happiness.

After the speech, he went to this man and introduced himself.

That night his life changed for the better.

Not only was he inspired, but he also landed a job working for the same man he had just gone to see.

His name was John Earl Shoaff. He was known as “The Millionaire Maker”(More on John Earl Shoaff later).

So much so that John Shoaff became his personal mentor.

Jim went from being a sales rep for My Shoaff’s companies to becoming vice president of the organization.

As a result, over the next 6 years, Jim began making a fortune.

In the early 1960s, he began speaking at a local Rotary Club when asked to share his success story.

This led to more public speaking invitations.

Later in 1963, his talents as a public speaker enabled Jim to travel around the country, addressing many seminars, and he started to earn a nice income from this alone.
