With the passing of Jim Rohn, I find it suitable to pay tribute to the many quotes that he used. I know of noboby else that has used so many quotes so successfully and become so well known for them. In my eyes Jim was the master of self improvement quotes. I didn’t know the man, Jim Rohn, very well at all. I have however heard so much of him that he has made a positive influence on my life. Especially, through all the self improvement guru’s that now are multi millionaires from the teachings of Jim Rohn. They have much to thank him for and it is showing online as I write this.

Jim Rohn – The Mentor

Jim Rohn has influenced many people around the globe with his teachings. I remember, in the early days of Tony Robbins, hearing about the new prodigy of Jim Rohn. Other self improvement people that have been connected to Jim’s teachings are: Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen & Jack Canfield. Arguably, most of the motivational marketers out there have been influenced by Jim Rohn to some degree. In my personal opinion, Jim was a successful prodigy of Napoleon Hill’s teachings in the 1937 evergreen self improvement book: Think And Grow Rich. As these principles are universal, everyone is teaching the same thing. What Jim did was bring this to a commercial attention that will enable more and more people to improve their life’s to a whole new level.
