Deepak Shukla’s Notes on The Ultimate Jim Rohn Library by Jim Rohn:

Hey guys,

I finished reading this book on the 10th January 2021.

Here’s a synopsis of the book I grabbed from Amazon:

“So, what is it about Jim Rohn that has made him so tremendously effective in teaching others how to become so massively successful?

The answer is he has a unique way of helping you discover that you are so much more capable and powerful than you have ever imagined. Jim’s own rise from rags to riches has been well documented and his list of students reads like a Who’s Who of top achievers. Those who learn from him can become virtually unstoppable. Jim Rohn recognized that it takes longer for some people to flip on the “success switch” every person has inside them.”

And here are my actual notes I took whilst I was listening to this on Audible:

• Make all you can out of all you have
• Become all you can become
• If you care at all you’ll get some result if you care enough you’ll get exceptional results
• Share what you’ve got
• No one lacks capacity they only lack teachers
• Have great advice or read a great book then pass it along
• Don’t rest too long
• Do what you can. Do the best you can. And rest very little
• The best you can do should be the very least you do
• Affirmation without discipline is Delusion
• Self-respect comes from self-discipline
• All disciplines affect each other
• Remember. Remember. Remember…
• Develop these 5 abilities

1. Develop the ability to absorb (soak it up like a sponge)
2. Don’t get through the day but get FROM the day
3. Wherever you are. BE THERE. with your mind with your body and your soul. Take pictures to remember words soak in the feelings

7. Important to let things touch you
8. Take me high take me low

13. Take half a day at the end of the month. Go over what you learned saw and reinforce it
14. Take a weekend at the end of the year to reflect
