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!

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 was first exposed to Jim Rohn a few months before his death. When I had a chance to listen to the audio CD in Success magazine. I never had a chance to go to a live event. I have ordered them and listen in my car all of the time. I am planning to listen to them in my home and take notes as if I am at an event. I just wished I had been exposed to his wisdom years ago what a difference it would of made of my life, but it is never to late to improve and I plan on it.

Jim Rohn spoke once where I was attending. I did not know the legend he is and I knew who he was when he spoke of Tony Robbins as I had attended Tony's seminars and heard of his mentor. Jim thought highly of everyone and was just amazing. He touches me deeply and his poignant stories are simply inspiring to listen to. Thank you Mr. Rohn the stories you shared the wisdom you left behind will forever be a blessing to me. My deepest love and appreciation for who you were and what you left behind for all interested in being more then they think they are.

Their words worth millions that influence billions. Your words of wisdom are our unlimited wealth as humanity and we cherish this treasure.
