Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn, our mentor and friend, passed away December 5, 2009, and was laid to rest Saturday, December 12, 2009, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Jim touched millions of lives over the past 46 years through his seminars, books, articles and CDs. His life’s passion and inspiration was making a difference in people’s lives.

The Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Jim Rohn event was held in Anaheim, California, on Saturday, February 6, 2010. Family, long-time friends and many special guest speakers, including Anthony Robbins, Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Chris Widener, Denis Waitley and Darren Hardy, paid tribute to Jim by sharing their thoughts and insights on some of his most powerful success principles. The event was attended by more than 1,300 people whose lives have been impacted by the wisdom of Jim Rohn.

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.”

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.

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 below 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 below.

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.”

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Mr. Rohn some 25 years back what an unforgetable expierence. Thru out the years his teachings have remained an inspiration and I'm sure will always be. Today learning of his passing is very saddening but the legacy that he left behind has to have his family feeling very proud. I know I am very grateful to be a student of this Great Man.

Emmanuel DMK

I recommended the books of Jim Rohn to someone and later decided to visit his website only to find out he had passed on. The impact of his work certainly can NEVER be quantified. Even for many generations to come, the impact continues. Sleep on sir, your path still shines!

Emmanuel Falodun

Jim was an inspiration to me personally along with Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Ross Quinn, Les Brown, Jerry Clarke, Todd Falcone and many others. His legacy and his quotes and teachings will live longer than Elvis in Vegas!

ekow simpson

Jim Rohn's words motivated my husband and I to keep going in our small business. He, definitely, was a pillar that held our business together and I will never forget it. I will continue to listen to his words of inspiration not only for our business, but for personal development as well. My heart ached when I heard of his passing, and I began to pray for his family. All I could think of was... if he had such an impact on MY life, then I can only imagine what type of family member he must have been. My heart goes out to you all and may you R.I.P Mr. Rohn.

Tammi Brown

Jim rohn changed my life forever. His melodious, mesmerising voice and profound yet simple wisdom was an open door to an entirely new way of looking at and experiencing life. he brought sophistication, balance, care and commitment into life in a way no one ever had or ever will for me. One of the greatest joys of my life was and always will be listening to him speak. I aspire to be like him in so many ways. It was a total honour and a pleasure to meet this man through his work. I do thank God for Jim Rohn

JUSTIN RICKARD

I'm grateful for Jim's unique way of keeping the message simple, humorous and down to earth. He has made a tremendous positive impact on my life and will be greatly missed. My only regret is that I never met him personally. Prayers and thoughts are with his family.

Frank Hopkins

I still cannot believe that Jim Rohn is no longer with us. His words have made a lasting impression on me and will continue to do so. I have never met such an amazing, generous person - he could reduce a theatre of thousands to tears by the beauty of his words. May he now receive the joy he gave to those who were fortunate enough to hear or read his words. He will always be in my heart.

Frank

At first, I was mannually deleting the newsletters after I tried without success to spam or block them. On one fateful evening, I simply decided to read a few lines since I was not very busy. It turned out to be the turning point in my life and career. Thank You Jim and Farewell. Thank you for passing this way. In the life to come, I sincerely wish that our paths will cross again.

Obumneme Nwafor

I just got Mr Jim Rohn's CD on being a succesful Network marketer from my upline last week. I've listened to it over and over again in my car for the past 3 days. I decided to check his website tonight and to my utmost pain I found he passed on last December. Though he is gone , his legacy remains forever in the sands of time. He remains a blessing to the world.
