Rhon says that 'making measurable progress in reasonable time' is the way to keep ambition alive. Some of the ways he suggests measuring progress is by: list-making, journal-keeping, self-inventor Success and failure is more closely linked to ambition than any other 'emotion'.

Journal-keeping is a great way to go back and see how far one has come. Without furthering one's learning in every way to achieve results, ambition will die.

Quotes that resonated: - How long should you try? Not the expense of others, but at the service of others. May 16, Jimmy Murphy rated it it was amazing. I absolutely love Jim Rohn. His approach on ambition and life is unique and inspiring. One take away that I got from this is that success is the steady progress towards your own goals. There is no one definition of success. Success is not necessarily monetary, but it's living the kind of life you want to live, having the relationships you want to have, having the experiences that are important to you.

So success is the steady progress towards your own personal goals. So in order to really be a su I absolutely love Jim Rohn. So in order to really be a success I need to identify what my goals are, what is important to me in my life above and beyond money.

Only then can I know if I am on track and a success My favorite line from this is "Everything matters. Everything affects everything. There is nothing that doesn't matter. The little decisions to do something right, or better all impact my character. Jan 04, Julia rated it really liked it. I love listening to an audiobook that is read by the author.

This is a great book, but having listened to his gathered audio talks, "The Art of Exceptional Living" shortly before I listened to this one, I found that I enjoyed the audio presentation of "Exceptional Living" more, because it was presented before live audiences, and you could hear the enthusiasm in his voice that the live audience brought to him.

And his book reads that way: a series of pithy statements and "4 keys to success". No scientific studies are cited nor are tactical plans laid out. It's motivation, pure and simple.

I read it mostly to get a feel for one of the guys who shaped so many others for example, I believe Tony Robbins worked for Jim Rohn before he decided to do his own Jim Rohn is an old school motivational speaker.

It's not bad, there just are so many far better books out there. Sep 27, Paul Farnam rated it it was amazing. I purchased the audiobook version of this classic and boy, was I surprised how much good stuff is packed into it. Jim Rohn gets right to the point of getting you to take action on your goals.

The latter part of this recording dealt mostly with stuff I'm either currently doing well or things that don't pertain to where I'm at in my life trying to make a fortune, how to save money, etc. But the first two thirds were applicable and I took down some good ideas in my Evernote notebook. I even used one of his ideas in my speech this week to a group in Niagara Falls, ON. He sure has a lot of good stuff tied to gospel principles and even quotes the Bible a few times.
