The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me.
Jim RohnLook at each day as a chance to invest life into life. A chance to share your experience and deposit it into someone else's conscience. Each day is a chance to work miracles in the lives of others.
Jim RohnAll disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, `This is the only area where I let down.` Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.
Jim RohnMost people are just trying to get through the day. Be committed to learn to get from the day. Don't just get through it; get from it. Learn from it. Let the day teach you. Join the university of life. What a difference that will make in your future. Commit yourself to learning. Commit yourself to absorbing. Be like a sponge. Get it. Don't miss it.
Jim RohnA good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better.
Jim RohnIf you want to live a top shelf life then you need to stand on the books you have read. Never stop learning, never stop growing.
Jim RohnSuccess is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
Jim RohnYou've got to believe in the possibilities. You've got to believe that tomorrow can be better than today. And here's the big one. Believe in yourself.
Jim RohnThe worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized - never knowing.
Jim RohnYour family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.
Jim RohnSome things you have to do every day. Eating about seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
Jim RohnIf you wish to have power and influence over the many, be faithful (disciplined) when there is just a few. If you have a few employees, a few distributors, a few people, that's the time to stay in touch and be totally absorbed -- when there is just a few.
Jim RohnNetwork marketing is really the greatest source of grass-roots capitalism, because it teaches people how to take a small bit of capital, that is your time, and build the American dream.
Jim RohnSeek other people's advice, but don't take orders. And don't take 100% of anyone's advice. Make sure every decision you make is a product of your own conclusion. Be a student, not a disciple.
Jim RohnSuccess Recipe: 2 cups faith, 2 cups love, 1 cup hard work, 1 cup persistence, 1 tbsp vision and a dash of swagger.
Jim RohnHuman beings have the remarkable ability to turn nothing into something. They can turn weeds into gardens and pennies into fortunes.
Jim RohnOne of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, “If it is to be, it is up to me.” That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you.

Jim RohnSomebody said you have to love what you do, but that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity. The opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone's door or making that extra call may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind that door or call.
Jim RohnIt's not dependency that creates your future. It's independence that creates your better future.
Jim RohnIt is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.
Jim RohnGood people are found not changed. They can change themselves, but you can't change them. You want good people, you have to find them. If you want motivated people, you have to find them, not motivate them.
Jim RohnDiscipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.
Jim RohnThe biggest reason people don't succeed is because they don't expose themselves to existing information.
Jim RohnDon't spend most of your time on the voices that don't count, voices that are going to add too little worth to your future. Don't waste time on the shallow and the silly. Tune those voices out and tune in voices that are going to add something to your life
Jim RohnGoals are like a magnet - they pull. And the stronger they are, the more purposeful they are, the bigger they are, the more unique they are, the stronger they pull.
Jim RohnLook what you can become in pursuit of what you want, and look out for what you become in the pursuit of what you want--don't compromise!
Jim RohnFinding is reserved for the searchers, we don't find what we need, we find what we search for
Jim RohnGod has the tough end of the deal. What if instead of planting the seed you had to make the tree? That would keep you up late at night, trying to figure that one out.
Jim RohnWhat you give becomes an investment that will return to you multiplied at some point in the future.
