Discover The Difference a Day Can Make

No one knows better than the legendary Jim Rohn what an incredible difference one day can make in the trajectory of a life.

Today, Jim is esteemed far and wide as one of the pillars of the personal development field. His electrifying live seminars and audio programs have ignited millions of people around the world to reach incredible levels of achievement. Countless men and women attribute their success to something they learned from Jim Rohn. He has been relentless in his quest to help people discover and fulfill their potential for excellence.

His own life-changing day arrived nearly 40 years ago, when a Girl Scout rang his doorbell, selling cookies for two dollars a box.

At the time, Jim didn't have two dollars — not in his pocket, not in his bank account, not anywhere. He was flat broke, and so ashamed of it that he lied to the girl, telling her he'd already bought a few boxes from someone else.

As he closed the door, his shame intensified. Here he was, a grown man with a family living in the Land of Opportunity, so broke he didn't have two dollars to give to a good cause, and so pathetic that he'd actually lied to a Girl Scout!

"That's it," he thought to himself. "I'm not living like this anymore."

Many years, millions of dollars, a hugely successful business enterprise, and millions of devoted students later, Jim thought back through the course of his life and realized that all of the success he had experienced up to that point had begun at that precise moment, so many years before.

But what was it about that particular day? He'd been broke before that. He'd been driven to desperation before that. He'd even resolved to change things before that. It took some time. But he finally figured out what it was that made that particular episode — that one specific day — so different from any other. Why it was able to galvanize and transform him in a way nothing else had.

When he did, he realized something even more amazing. What he had experienced unexpectedly was something that anyone could experience deliberately, by choice. From then on, showing people exactly how to do that became a part of Jim's personal and professional mission.

Jim's analysis of his own transformational day and those of other people he knew revealed something interesting: For change to happen, several distinct emotions need to be present.

You've probably been familiar with each of these emotions at one time or another. On their own, they will only take you so far. But when all of them are combined in just the right way and experienced in just the right sequence, change is the guaranteed, unstoppable result.
