Man this is such a shock...You had a good life jim. RIP.

RIP, this is sad to hear

Too sad! He really was an awesome man!

I listen to his CD's all of the time.

He was a great man.

Thanks for the post and comments. Jim was an entrepreneurial giant. Like no kidding.

He encouraged and inspired millions of us.

I truly doubt he is "resting in peace." That wasn't his style.

RIP Jim.

You're awesome.

RIP Jim.

He was such a wonderful man, I was lucky to be introduced to his world of thought about 4 years ago and he really helped me look at the world differently
RIP Jim

We have truly lost a legend today.

The Passing of a Legend

With great sadness we share that Jim Rohn, our mentor and friend, left us December 5, 2009 for a better place.

Over the past 18 months, in his battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis, Jim assured us with a smile that all is good, that he would fight until the last breath, yet he had no fear as to what would be next. Jim's faith was as much a part of his life as his desire to inspire and challenge us all to be the best we could be and to live our dreams.

Jim's courage in his final months and days were a testament to his message that we should all fight the good fight. He never gave up and never gave in.

Jim Rohn touched millions of lives over the past 46 years through his seminars, books, articles and CDs. He always stayed long after an event t o shake hands, take pictures and sign autographs. He loved making a difference in people's lives, that was his passion and inspiration. Yet he was also a private man who kept a small, loyal and caring inner circle. He was a tremendous friend to those who knew him.

Harold Dyke, long time close friend of Jim's for over 55 years said it best, "As Jim is ending one life he is simultaneously being birthed into a new life. One that he has talked about over the years and anticipated with great joy in his last remaining days."

Kyle Wilson, long time colleague and friend of Jim had this to say about his mentor, "Jim Rohn was a great human being. Jim had the rare ability to take any concept or idea and then frame it in such a way that the rest of us could see it more clearly. His wisdom and insights positively affected everyone he touched on some level and to so many of us it was in an extraordinary way. But even more impressive was Jim Rohn the man. He possessed style and charisma, yet was humble, kind and understated to all who knew him. I find myself every day reflecting, benefiting and passing on the wisdom and ideas that are rooted in Jim's message and wisdom. Jim is irreplaceable on every level. I will miss him beyond words, but am comforted as I know he was, that his message and legacy will live on and positively change millions of lives over the years to come!"

Someone once said "when you are born you enter the world crying while everyone else is rejoicing and when you die hopefully you have lived such a life that everyone will be crying while you are rejoicing". Jim Rohn lived such a life.

Jim's family asked us to thank all of you for your concern, prayers and love toward their father and grandfather, which has been so evident during the past 18 months.

Darren Hardy, dedicated student and Jim Rohn protégé for more than 15 years, said of Jim, "He was the most influential man in my life, second only to my father. Jim cemented my philosophical foundation and nourished my mind with ideas and ambitions never before imagined. He chiseled my character seminar by seminar, tape by tape, book by book, then CD by CD, hour by hour. Jim emboldened my belief, in me and in my most daring dreams. When I fell and was bloodied, he was there with encouraging words to help me get back up. When I didn't think I could go on, Jim convinced me I was stronger than I imagined. When I wanted a shortcut, he reminded me there aren't any. Even when I got too caught up in trying to achieve and succeed, Jim compelled me to leave room to live, to laugh and to love."

Stuart Johnson, business associate and long-time admirer, said, "I was first introduced to the philosophies and teachings of Jim Rohn almost 25 years ago. And he made an immediate impression on me. I was amazed by how this modest and unassuming man could communicate such an extraordinarily powerful message in simple and straightforward terms. In person, one-on-one, he was as humble and down-to-earth as he was in front of an audience of thousands. I will treasure my personal memories of Jim and know that I will forever benefit from the wisdom of this remarkable man."

There will be a private funeral held in the coming days. Plans and details are also being arranged for a Public Memorial Service to be held in the Los Angeles area in the coming weeks. Details will be announced upon final confirmation at the Jim Rohn Tribute Site.

We know Mr. Rohn is looking down on us at this very moment with a smile saying I did it, I gave it my all, I went for it, now it's your turn. Go for it. Make your life a life worth living well!

View a special tribute to Jim at the Jim Rohn Tribute Site produced earlier this year and debuted at the March 2009 SUCCESS Symposium. You are also encouraged to post your thoughts and remembrances of Jim on the Memorial Wall.

Jim fondly closed his programs with the following sentiments: "I go with you in all the experience that we've had. But I promise you this as we leave here: I will not leave you behind. I'll take you with me in my thoughts and in my heart."

A legend to say the least. He will be missed.

RIP Jim Rohn
Your tapes influence my life.

Very sad day indeed.
The loss of a Great Man. God rest his soul.
He is a part of who I am now.

In his memory,

Jim made a positive impact on so many people's lives, including mine.

I was first influenced by his works over 20 years ago. For me, it was quite often the case that, his simplest statements had the greatest impact and triggered many of my 'duh' moments.

Mike

I worked on stage at a major event with Jim in Singapore a couple of years ago. I remember walking backstage to the speakers room and I introduced myself by saying "Hello Mr Rohn, my name's David Cavanagh". He replied with "Just call me Jim please son".

We spoke about his life, his teachings, his association with Herbalife (which he called 'erbalife), his relationship with Tony Robbins and more, and this was while he was writing down a stack of notes before he went on stage

I said "Jim, why are you writing so many notes?" His comment to me was "I've got my presentation to do, and you always need to be well prepared young man".

He was an amazing man who will be loved and missed by all who knew him, and those who will get to know him through his brilliant work in the near and distant future.

God Bless You Mr Rohn!

David Cavanagh

i got to see him speak once. truly an inspiration. rip.

To say that Jim Rohn was a MAJOR factor in shaping my life's outlook, is itself a gross understatement. After decades of adhering to his teachings, I truly consider myself a disciple of his boundless wisdom. I have his books, tapes, videos, etc., and they are all indispensable. Yes friends, the world has truly lost a great man today. Really sad. RIP Jim Rohn.

Wow... I'm shocked to find out about it.

Rest in peace, Jim Rohn and condolensces to
his family.

If any of you tweet, you can use the hashtag
#RohnLegacy and quote him.

Sigh... Rest in Peace, You Live On.

RIP Jim Rohn. He's been a great inspiration.

The world is a sadder place, he was a truly inspiring man.

R.I.P.

Never has one person had such a colossal effect on my life. Truly missed, deeply loved and the world is a lesser place without you, Jim.

J

I can exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard Jim speak. What can you say? He had such a mind and such a way of expressing the wisdom that he had.

God bless him.

Most of us are where we are on the success lane because of the influence of great Mentors as Jim Rohn. Whether directly or indirectly, his teachings has benefited us immensely.

One thing that Jim challenges me with is, he gave his best, used all he had to offer.
Am I doing the same?

R.I.P Jim.

Sorry to hear of Jim passing away. I have read/listened to so much of his work and he talks more common sense than anyone else I have ever heard. A few years back I bought three copies of a little book containing snippets of Jim's wisdom. I put them away to give to my children when they were 18. I wanted him to inspire them they way he inspired me. It will be another three and a bit years yet before the first one is given out. Jim may no longer be here but he will be with us for a long time to come.
Thing is I now have four children so I really need to get another copy of that little book!
I hope Jim's family will be able to take comfort from knowing how valuable his words will continue to be.

I saw this on Tony Robbin's twitter this morning, truly a sad day

RIP Jim Rohn. You were truly one great man who inspired a lot of us with your books.Your legacy lives on.

RIP Jim . He was one of the best. He and Tony had a great impact on my life with his work. He will always be alive...

oh sad to hear

A true leader of the leaders. RIP
