5 Stars Do Yourself a “BIG” Favor and Read this Book!
Jim Rohn’s book is a very motivational, enlightening, insightful, and a positive down to earth experience. What an enjoyable book. I realize this book was published first in the late 1990’s yet his information is as relevant today as then.
I found this 156 page book with 11 chapters, very well presented, easy to read, yet full of direction and practical thoughts causing me to feel I had just received some serious revelations to success in life. I strongly suggest you have a fresh day-glow highlighter handy while reading. You will get tremendous use out of it.
Jim Rohn’s “7 Strategies” cover all areas of life leading to success in wealth and the creation of happiness. He spends three complete chapters on the key subject of success, goals. Follow the exercises and reap the benefits. The challenges he presents work to an awesome result.
This is a key book to be kept in my permanent personal library. I highly recommend this book to everyone at every level of personal development and self growth.

5 Stars Hard-hitting stuff from the legend
Jim Rohn sadly passed away on 5th December 2009, however his legacy very much lives on and his advice will continue to resonate with a lot of people.
This book was my introduction to Jim Rohn’s philosophy about how to live your life. It’s a very easy read and, as the title suggests, it’s divided up into 7 clear strategies:
*unleash the power of goals
*seek knowledge
*learn the miracle of personal development
*control your finances
*master time
*surround yourself with winners
*learn the art of living well
So, these strategies are a combination of goal-setting and how to orient yourself. Jim makes constant reference to his mentor, Earl Shoaff, and illustrates how you can start from a low base and see how far you can go in life. Jim was broke in his early-mid 20’s and became a millionaire by his early 30’s. Here, he shares some ideas with you about how he changed his mindset. Note that these are quite hard-hitting at times. Sometimes we need a reality check, so, for example, Jim mentions how disgust can be a great motivator.
Jim Rohn was the son of a preacher man so there are numerous references to ‘God’ in his works. I’m not a religious person but I consider myself to be a spiritual person, so the good thing is that Jim does not elaborate much on God, and it’s up to you if you wish to take this on board.
Having read a number of books like this I would say that there are 2 main types - the ’spiritual’ ones about your connection with higher powers and universal forces (e.g. the law of attraction) and the more ‘grounded’ ones about setting goals and working towards them in an action-oriented, practical way. After a number of years of looking at this stuff I would say that you need an awareness of higher powers and how they work, but also a real-world action plan about achieving what you want.
Do Jim Rohn’s teachings work? Well, while reading this book over a few days, here’s 2 positive things that happened to me (bear with me):
1) A regional newspaper in England had refused to review one the books I wrote, even though it was partially set in their locality. I had given up on them printing anything about my book and a year passed. However while reading Jim’s book I was motivated to look again at their website and noticed that the journalist I’d been dealing with (the chief reporter) had since left or moved upstairs. So I emailed a html press release to a few new names that were on their contact list. This time they bit on it … and I received a good article with a combination of an interview about me and a plug for the book. Since its release another publication has been in touch about doing a feature as well (one thing can lead to another).
2) I thought, “Okay, I’m not where I want to be with my business idea just now, but is there ANYTHING I can do in the meantime to nudge me forward?” The answer was yes - I hadn’t yet embraced youtube as a promotional vehicle. So, I used Windows movie maker (free software on my PC that I’d ignored for a year) and I created 10 youtube videos with Powerpoint slides and some photos. I then used free music provided by youtube and - with remarkable ease - I loaded them up and had 10 videos out there about me and my 2 novels. One video has since picked up 3,000 hits within a few days. So, thanks Jim for giving me a much needed kick up the backside.
Reading Jim’s book is like having a conversation with your private life coach. For the sake of a few quid and little bit of your time, I’d say that it’s worthwhile injecting some Jim Rohn ideas and mentality into your life, You don’t need to take them all on board - he does mention this.
Finally, if you want to see Jim Rohn in action, just look him up on youtube and you’ll see a range of excerpts from his live appearances.
5 Stars One of the best
This is a great book. I have read several different books by many successful people. This book echoes or summarizes the key points of how you can become successful in life. Truth is timeless and If something was true 2000 years ago, it is still true today. And that is what this little book teaches. Set goals, seek knowledge, learn how to change, master time, surround yourself with winners and learn the art of living well.
Thomas Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up”. Napoleon Hill also said the same thing that you need to persevere in the face of difficulties. Jim Rohn spoke about discipline to succeed in that little book. My conclusion is that, If you want to be successful, you need to fail many times. Discipline your disappointments. Learn from your failures. Don’t quit. Don’t give up.
If you buy this little book and read it and practice the principles that Jim Rohn teaches, you’ll be better off than many folks out there who have not read this book or similar books like it.
5 Stars Strategies to Change Your Life
Powerful book on how to create the life you want. Rohn shows you how to change your current situation by changing what you identify as important. Rohn says “Success is a process of turning away from something in order to turn towards something better…” and this is in any and every area of your life.
A great book outlined with all the steps necessary to start creating your future in making your dreams a reality. Dawn Marx
