Earlier this month, I had the privilege of attending the very motivational memorial event for the legendary speaker Jim Rohn, who recently passed away.
Although I didn't know him personally, I had seen him speak and regularly listened to his CDs. He has positively impacted many of us in the professional speaking industry--and people in general--as the pioneer of personal development.
Pictured to the right are (l-r) Harvey Mackay, Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Darren Hardy, Denis Waitley and Chris Widener who delivered motivational messages at the recent Jim Rohn memorial event.
In this edition of the What Do You Say Communique', I have featured my Top 10 Favorite Jim Rohn Quotes. I hope you find these words of wisdom useful. Enjoy!

To quote Jim Rohn:
"My mentor said 'let's go do it,' not 'you go do it.' How powerful when somone says Let's!"
