American entrepreneur,  author and motivational speaker Jim Rohn is one of the best personal development communicators of our time. When it comes to motivating people to take action, no one is better. He has mentored or influenced leaders like Tony Robbins and Jack Canfield. I discovered Rohn a year ago and he’s been a game changer for me. Whenever I feel procrastination coming on or a lack of drive, I read his quotes or listen to one of his talks. And just like that, I’m instantly fired up to get to work in a focused and deliberate way.

Last year was challenging for me and some days I had to dig deep to fulfill on my purpose to help people reach their goals. With a mission this big, I couldn’t afford to be operating at a motivation deficit. This is why I now begin every morning with the 2BeRe-U Stronger Daily Rituals (link to that blog) which include training my mind. The wisdom of teachers like Jim Rohn, Wayne Dyer and Marianne Williamson helps with building positive habits like discipline and commitment. After reading one Jim Rohn quote, I am fired up and ready to go.

Here are some of Jim Rohn’s quotes that keep me on track:

1. When you change, everything will change for you. One area of growth for me is creating wealth so I can help more people reach their goals and be their best. For the longest time, I thought focusing on marketing was a distraction from my actual work with people. This belief cost me. I had to change my thinking for the company to grow and be prosperous for everyone. What is an area you to need to change? Perhaps it’s your health. If you change your eating habits, your health will. If you change your skill level, your income will change. If you refine your attitude and personality, you will attract people who will help you become successful.

2. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. Anytime  I don’t feel like doing something, I make myself do it anyway. For me, discipline is taking action even when I don’t feel like doing so no matter what the reason in. Each time I do this, I get closer to my goal. Apply discipline to areas of your life where procrastination is often a problem.

3. Success is nothing more than a few disciplines practiced every day. Life can be overwhelming when you consider all the things that show up on your daily to do list. Exercise, kids, work, finish a project, eat healthy and more. It can be so much. The key is focusing on one thing at a time. Do exercise first thing in the morning, then move on to taking care of the kids. And work your way down the list. Apply a little discipline to each task and you’ll see big progress.

4. Don’t join an easy crowd, you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high. This is one of my favorites. I constantly look at my circle. What is their daily conversation about? Is it about gossip or possibilities? Is it judgmental or forgiving? And is depressing or inspiring, even when times are challenging? My crowd is loving, inspiring and full of possibilities. I hope yours is too.

5. Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want. I didn’t begin practicing this principle until 5 years ago. I wasn’t grateful for what I had. As a result, I was very unhappy. I didn’t know how to appreciate things as they were while working toward my goals. My friend Tim provided an excellent example on how to do this when his family dynamic changed. I am now following his lead on being happy with what I have while pursue more of life that makes me happy.
