Jim Rohn is one of the best motivational speakers in the world;
If you’re looking for an advancement in your life (be it in your professional life, your relationship or simply your well-being) one of the fastest ways is to learn things from a mentor of your own. If you’re looking for a great mentor to learn more from, then Jim Rohn is definitely one of the greatest mentors out there.
It never used to be very easy to find a mentor of your own that you can look up to and gain knowledge from. Nowadays however, all you have to do is just take a book, watch a video on YouTube, have a quick search on the web or buy a video program made by your desired mentor.
So, this article outlines 5 great lessons you can learn from Jim Rohn, one of the most influential America’s business and life philosophers, and shows exactly why you should have someone like him as your mentor.
1. Choose Your Friends Carefully
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn
In case you are struggling to meet ends of the month, I suggest you do a quick test. Write down 5 of your best friends that you spend the most time with, in one column on a piece of paper.
Then in the second column write down the average amount of money each of those friends earns per month. Then sum up all the amounts and divide them by 5.
What you’re left with, is most likely the amount of money you earn per month.
Sure, this may not be a great judge of your earnings, and Jim Rohn made this piece of advice about a lot more than just money, but still, the fact remains.
So if you want to increase the amount of money you earn, and also improve your overall character and happiness, surround yourself with people who you aim to be like.
Spend some time with them and learn as much as you can from other successful people like them that you admire.
2. Start Writing Your Plans
“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.” – Jim Rohn
Making your plans (a 3 month plan, a 1 year plan, a five year plan) will keep your focus on your big vision. Sticking to these plans and taking action on them will keep you on the right track.
There will always be distractions in your life, every day, every week, every year.
These distractions will come from the outside world, (people around you will want you to go partying every week, for example) and from the inside, there will be times when you will feel like not doing anything at all.
But when you have a plan of your own written down properly you’ll find it much easier to stick to your course of action and not be swayed by these inside or outside forces.
Having a written plan will make you a better decision-maker on your path to success.
