Legendary author and motivational speaker Jim Rohn is a pivotal figure in the self-help movement. Rohn, who
passed away in 2009, identified many timeless principles for success. Here’s a summary of Jim Rohn’s 13 ways to
improve your life and some tips on how to apply them.
1. FACE YOUR FEARS
Fear is the number one obstacle to achieving anything. First of all, don’t blame yourself for being afraid sometimes.
Fear is actually a natural biological response to danger. It helps all living creatures survive by motivating them to
avoid threats. The problem is that it also stops us from moving forward. Most of the actions that frighten us pose no
real threat to our existence. They may, however, threaten our comfort zones. To succeed, you must face and
overcome your fears.
2. DEVELOP YOUR WILL POWER TO MAKE CHANGES
Will power is essential to accomplish anything. Without this quality, you’ll give in to procrastination and laziness. You
also need will power when life presents you with hurdles and obstacles, as it surely will. Will power is especially
crucial for making major changes in your life. Starting new projects, developing new habits and charting a new
course in your life is never easy. Will power is the difference between persevering and falling back into old patterns.

2. 3. ADMIT YOUR MISTAKES
Don’t be one of those stubborn people who can’t admit when he’s wrong. Everybody makes mistakes. Successful
people, however, understand that the first step to improvement is to admit when they’re wrong. If you made a
mistake that affects others, apologize and promise to not repeat the error. In some cases, the hardest thing is to
admit mistakes to yourself. Look at your actions objectively and be honest, both with yourself and others.
4. REFINE YOUR GOALS
Goals are an essential first step for any accomplishments. Everyone from sports coaches to psychologists
understand the importance of goals. As Jim Rohn recognized, however, the real issue is what goals you set for
yourself. Many people think too small when setting goals. Perhaps your goals are too small. Always reassess and
refine your goals.
5. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. If you’re lacking in self-confidence or self-esteem,
you’ll always hold yourself back. To increase confidence, don’t dwell on past failures but focus instead on what’s
possible for the future. If you need improvements in certain areas, make the necessary effort. Recognize that
wherever you are now, many others started in a worse place and still achieved great things.
6. ASK FOR MORE WISDOM
One of Rohn’s greatest quotes is “Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish
for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.” This outlook empowers you to do better rather
than wishing circumstances were different. When you feel challenged, rather than trying to avoid or minimize it, seek
ways to meet and overcome it. Wisdom is found in many places if you ask for it.
7. CONSERVE YOUR TIME
Time is one of our most valuable resources and one that it’s so easy to squander. Now, more than ever, it’s easy to
waste time with distractions. Keep track of how you spend your time and whether your habits are bringing you closer
or further from the life that you really want. Conserving time requires applying another of Rohn’s principles —
developing will power.
8. INVEST YOUR PROFITS
Profits in this context refer not only to those earned by businesses but any money you earn or acquire. Saving
money is great but wisely investing it is even better. Investing is the principle that allows small businesses to grow
large and individuals to get wealthy. Study the principles of investing and seek ways to make your money grow.
9. LIVE WITH INTENSITY
It’s all too easy to sleepwalk through life in a haze of TV programs, small talk, and browsing social media. Those
who reach the top of any field live with greater intensity than those around them. Put more effort, enthusiasm, and
energy into everything you do, whether it’s working at your job, building your business, working out at the gym, or
playing with your kids.
10. DO YOUR BEST AND FIND YOUR PLACE
No matter where you want to end up, do your best where you are now. This will help you find your ideal place,

learn from it. At a job, this makes it more likely you’ll advance. Even if you end up leaving a job, you might as well
learn as much as possible while you’re there. Look towards the future but always make your best contribution
wherever you find yourself.
11. ALWAYS ACT WITH INTEGRITY
Integrity is ultimately not for the sake of others but for improving yourself. Yet the more integrity you display, the
more likely it is you’ll see it in others. This is especially important in leadership positions, whether you’re a CEO, a
manager, a parent or a teacher. Demand integrity from yourself and you’ll inspire it in others.
12. EMBRACE DISCIPLINE
Jim Rohn said “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” This simply statement contains a
valuable piece of wisdom. Without discipline, your goals are merely wishes. You need fortitude and a habit of
following through in order to accomplish anything. Don’t see discipline as a necessary evil; welcome it as a
challenge to do your best.
13. FIGHT FOR WHAT’S RIGHT
When you have strong values, you’re willing to fight to support them. Don’t be lukewarm about what you believe.
This doesn’t mean you’re a fanatic or you try to force your opinions on others. But never let others infringe upon
your rights or values.
