Motivation From the Great Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn was one of the greatest and most influential speakers of our generation.  He had a knack for saying things that you knew were true but still gave you an "a-ha" moment.  Whenever I need some motivation, I fire up a Jim Rohn seminar on YouTube or read some of his great quotes that inspire taking action to make yourself better.  With all of the negative news surrounding Covid-19, world economies, and unemployment, I thought that a selection of my favorite Jim Rohn quotes might bring everyone some joy.
