He is the author of the highly popular self improvement book Twelve Pillars and Lessons on Life: How to Live a Successful Life. I hope these self improvement quotes inspire you as they do me!

I sign up for Jom Rohn's weekly E-zine. Rereading these quotes still gives me inspiration. My favorite one from Jim Rohn is "Work more on yourself than on your job."

Loomis said...

Thats a great quote.
I am working on creating a large list of of inspirational quotes from self development leaders. If you know any people I should look into let me know :)

Jade Meng said...

In that case, you can imitate Jim Rohn, who combines his own thoughts and a lot of quotes and repackages and resells them to a large audience.

Internet is the biggest resource to study all the thinkers and leaders, and collect all the quotes. Maybe I can find some with Asian origins.

Loomis said...

I plan on doing just that. I am in the process of writing a book and a success guide.

I would definitely be interested in learning about Asian self improvement leaders, that would be great :)
