And if you've never heard of Jim Rohn, watch the video below for a brief Jim Rohn biography. It's one of his great speeches.
Tell me--have you ever felt that life was intended to try us?
For most of us, life is challenge. And I don't mean it in the positive sense.
I don't remember when I first heard the saying,
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."
They're supposed to be comforting words, I know. But when you're having a bad time, they only make you feel like punching someone in the face. Except that you don't. Because deep down you know that it's right.
So what is success?
Perhaps if we thought of life's challenges in a positive way...
Perhaps if we thought it was good to learn how to be tough...
Well, Jim Rohn knows all about being tough. He knows all about life's challenges. Just listen to his great speeches.
According to the Jim Rohn biography, Jim Rohn was born to a poor Idaho farming family. By age 25, he was deep in debt, earning little, with no relief in sight.
And he would have remained poor if he hadn't met John Earl Shoaff. Shoaff took him under his wing, offered him a job and taught him how to make his fortune. Jim Rohn made his fortune and became a millionaire by age 31.
A dramatic improvement, wouldn't you say?
I'm sure there was a lot of hard work, set-backs and disappointments in between. Usually, it's not the hard work that people are afraid of. I mean for those who are serious about becoming a success anyway. And failures and disappointments--well, they come whatever we do.
But in my experience, it's knowing how to become a success that stumps most of us.
We just don't know where to start. And not knowing how to change things is the worst place you would want to be. Whatever your definition of success is, it is knowing what to do that is the key to manifesting abundance.
Well, this is where Jim Rohn comes in.
In his great speeches, he shows us how. And he sets us a challenge.
Trials and tribulations may not be just obstacles to overcome on the way to success. They could be steps up the ladder to success.
THE CHALLENGE TO SUCCEED
The Challenge to Succeed is a live recording of Jim Rohn's seminar on success. And it is a classic, full of great speeches.
Although Jim Rohn passed away in 2009, his legacy lives on in his great speeches and seminars. And this popular program is as relevant and inspiring today as when it was recorded. I highly recommend it.
