Introduction: Tribute to Jim Rohn
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.
