Amazing

Jim Rohn is a master teacher, a million dollar mentor. If you have a humble heart and are teachable, Jim will help you in ways you could not imagine as he narrates his own work. It's as if he has sat you down at the kitchen table and lays it our for you just you. Listen to it many times - start a journal and take notes and apply....watch yourself grow. It has changed my life emotionally, spiritually and financially.

what an amazing man.

Of all the personal development books that I've listened to (nearly 25 in the last 10 months) this is the only one that actually gets me to jump up and do the work, to not procrastinate, and to feel confident and ambitious. The other books definitely make me feel good and think about what to do, but this one actually makes me jump up and do stuff that I've put off. A must read.

Everyone else is just a copy of Jim Rohn....

I'm sure there were people before Jim Rohn that had an impact, Dale Carnegie for example. But for a moderate self development book lover,(read or listened to my share, but not all of them) this guy is the best. All the other people are just using his points. I love the Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen. His whole book is based upon one of Rohn's points that he elaborated upon. Jim Rohn throws out info and wisdom so fast, you could listen 10 times in a row. If he were a comedian he would be like Rodney Dangerfield. Fast and furious. I found it almost unsettling the first 20 minutes until I settled into a style of listening and got my head around his delivery. It feels like Grandpa sitting you down and giving you a life lesson....stellar!

Covered everything I would never have thought of.

Would you listen to The Power of Ambition again? Why?

I don't normally write reviews. This was so well written, I felt I had to. I will definitely be listening to this book again, many times. He is so thorough, he touches on so many subjects, and there is so much great information, that I want to make sure I absorbed it all.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Power of Ambition?

I can't pinpoint any one thing. I love how he broke everything down into detailed ways to think about how to start to thinking the way he describes, to live this way. Every chapter is like a house being built.

Have you listened to any of Jim Rohn’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not. This was my first. I will be listening to more soon.

Interesting topics, well put

Interesting listen, with gems that should be taken seriously. Note, it has an underlying Christian message, but if you're tolerant of it, it shouldn't affect you too much. Will definitely listen to again

This is THE Self Help Book!!!

There's a reason all of the top self help gurus mention Jim Rohn being one of their BIGGEST influences.

Sharing one of my MANY favorite blurbs in the book. This one is on success:

"Success is a numbers game. These are the 3 important questions to ask yourself.

1. How much money have you saved and invested in your career?

2. In the last 90 days, how many books have you read to invest in the miracle of your mind?

3. How many classes have you taken to improve your skills or to learn new skills for yourself or your family?"

- Jim Rohn

Inspiring and practical

On a broad level Jim Rohn offers a very very inspiring narrative. He gives you motivation to realize and to embrace your potential. On a more practical and down to earth level, he also offers many steps to take and many pieces of life wisdom to keep in mind along the path to success. I feel like my life will change because of this, and I'll listen to it at least once more within the very near future. I fully intend to be able to look back in 5, 10 and 20 years at how much my life was positively impacted by this audiobook.
