Notes on Rohn's Best Year Ever

These are my notes from Jim Rohn's best year ever. I figured I'd share for two reasons: (1) it's good to review for myself, and (2) maybe it'll inspire you to move your life in the right direction at this difficult time.

  • Things don't just happen; things happen just
  • Best place to start is sincerity: Sincerity is not a test of truth.

  • Take the simple approach: Leave the why as a mystery.
  • Believers believe. Mocker's mock. The perplexed perplex: Don't fight it.
