The Invisible Mentor

Posts Tagged ‘The Seasons of Life’

On Saturday, December 5, 2009, I received the Jim Rohn International newsletter announcing the death of Jim that same day. I was saddened by the loss because he is one of my invisible mentors. I got the opportunity to interview Jim a few years ago for my book Tales of People Who Get It. I will be eternally grateful and cherish that memory.

Despite being a multimillionaire, he was very down-to-earth.  Over the years I have purchased many of his books and participated in his One-Year Success Program.  I have benefited from his knowledge and wisdom. And,  I have reviewed two of his books on this blog. I wrote an article and included a copy of the interview I conducted with him. If you’d like a copy of the interview, which is also in my book, please let me know.

Here are five ideas that I distilled from the interview with Jim Rohn:

1. Things will always go wrong so ride through your difficulties and learn from them
2. Invest in your professional development to become more valuable
3. Provide products and services that add value by filling a market need
4. Have a success team because no one succeeds alone
5. Go with your gut instincts even if it is contrary to what the “experts” suggest

To benefit from Jim’s wisdom please read or re-read the reviews I did of two of his books. Let’s keep the conversation flowing, please comment. If you got to this post via search engine, please consider subscribing.
