Jim Rohn
American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker (1930–2009). Mentored Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Mark Hughes, and a generation of modern personal-development figures.
You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
Jim Rohn went broke at 25, got hired at Earl Shoaff’s nutrition company, and within six years became a millionaire. For the next 45 years he turned that transformation into a teaching business — seminars, books, audio programs — that shaped modern personal development. Tony Robbins credits Rohn as his first mentor.
Rohn’s signature line — ‘you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with’ — is everywhere now. So is his stacking metaphor of ’the slight edge’: small daily choices, compounded, decide the outcome. The videos below are a curated set of English-language Jim Rohn seminar compilations covering his classic themes: personal philosophy, discipline, character, consistency, and the three levels of income.
Key Ideas from Jim Rohn
The Slight Edge
Small daily choices, compounded over time, decide the outcome. The actions that are easy to do are also easy not to do — that's why most people never bother.
Five Major Pieces
Philosophy, attitude, action, results, lifestyle. Your philosophy sets your attitude, attitude drives action, action produces results, and results shape your lifestyle.
Seasons of Life
Life comes in winters, springs, summers, and falls. Learn to handle the difficult winters — they're what make the abundant summers possible.
The Law of Exchange
You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour. Become more valuable and the income takes care of itself.
Work Harder on Yourself
Work harder on yourself than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job you'll make a living. If you work hard on yourself you'll make a fortune.
