If you don’t know who the legendary business philosopher Jim Rohn is, then I’ve embedded the video below for you.

If you do know who Jim Rohn is, then you know he’ll be greatly missed

He passed on December 5th 2009.

This man has been greatly influential in my life.

After reading Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”, I read Jim Rohn’s “7 Strategies for Wealth and Happiness”.

This book changed my life.

For the first time, I was reading a serious man, a philosopher of sorts. I’d read all the new-agey ‘law of attraction’ stuff, and the Chicken Soup stuff. It was all good in it’s own way, but no one says it like Jim Rohn.

He teaches us thatsuccess is possible with hard work, perseverance, and most importantly, goal.

I would call hi “the king of goal setting”….

That’s where I learned it from. And my book, “Lifestyling” was greatly influenced by his success philosophy.

So now, without further adieu, Jim Rohn!

You’ll be greatly missed Jim :0(

Don’t be “broke and stupid”… don’t be “stupid” either…
Have your best year ever! ;0)

Here’s a video of a conversation I had with Steve Looi of Shake 2 Shape Nutrition Club in Astoria, NY on Goal setting, and how to set goals.

There’s some great content in this video. We talk about defining exactly what your goals are in life, and the consequences of not having clearly defined goals.

Goal setting is probably the most important skill you can acquire in life. It really is THE solution to a lot of the confusion you may be feeling. If you don’t know where you’re headed, if you don’t have a clear sense of purpose then no matter how hard you try you will get nowhere. Fortunately goal setting is an easy skill to acquire.

Start now. Set a goal, any goal. Set a goal to discover your interests, passions, and wants in life. Create a list of these things by some exact date in the near future. Accomplish this goal, set another, and I can assure you, you’ll feel a new sense of purpose, confidence and drive. Your world changes when you have direction. Don’t let life itself steer your ship, you are it’s driver… It’s YOUR life.

To your unconventional success!

You’ve asked me for my top 7 reading list for would be entrepreneurs, so here it is.

Reading is an invaluable asset when it comes to nonconformist lifestyling. I’m an avid fan of non-fiction materials. I feel a day wasted when I haven’t learned something, either through experience, reading, or online education.

There’s a multitude of relevant info out there, that you can grab for free or very little cost that will grant an exponential return on your investment in the form of dollars earned through your own business.

Start your education with the things your passionate about. Discover related topics, or areas of interest, then move on from there.

So now, without further ado, the top 7 reading list for would be entrepreneurs! (I admit, this list is the tell all secret to the information product business I’ve built in my free time.)

An excellent guide to the many channels available for income generation, for would be entrepreneurs. A must read.

#2 Hypnotic Writing by Dr. Joe Vitale

This is a favorite Marketing resource of mine. It’s written using the principles Vitale teaches in the book. An easy, education and fun read.

You may remember Joe Vitale from, “The Secret”. Yup! Same dude.

#3 The Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss

Now here’s a very inspirational resource. It’s loaded with tips, contacts, websites, and other resources for lifestyle design. Tim Ferriss has done a masterful, well written job at compiling some of the best info out there on the subject of living the entrepreneurial lifestyle. Another must read for would be entrepreneurs.

If you’re going to begin a business of any sort, then PPC (Pay Per Click) Advertising is a route you have to take. If you want to learn it from the ground up, then Perry Marshall is your expert. Perry is the master of PPC or Google advertising methods and strategies.

I’d suggest also, that you opt-in to his newsletter. It’s jam packed with content. You’ll learn a lot from him. This guy’s an old pro.

#5 Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill is the pioneer of success material. He was commissioned by Andrew Carnegie to compile the success secrets of the country’s wealthiest men. What he discovered was astounding! All of those secrets are here in his writing. Yet another must read! I especially enjoyed his chapter on the benefits of leveraging your sexual energy. It might suggest the underlying cause of some of the motivational problems of our age.

#6 The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

Here’s a classic on wealth building and re-investment of resources. It’s in story form, taking place in the wealthiest city of Babylon. 2 poor men take off on a journey to discover how it is that their childhood friend has amassed so much friggin money! It’s a story about what their friend, the richest man in Babylon, teaches them. A very fun, educational, and inspirational read.

#7 7 Strategies for Wealth and Happiness by Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn is another master. He’s an expert on teaching focus, direct, goal setting, and principles of wealth building. This book is last is my list which follows no particular order, but he may as well be at the top. Jim Rohn is THE business philosopher of our time.
