Jim Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker. His rags to riches story played a large part in his work, which influenced others in the personal development industry.
Rohn was invited by a friend to come and tell his "rags-to-riches" story to his rotary club. He accepted and titled his talk "Idaho Farm Boy makes it to Beverly Hills." The talk went so well that soon others began asking him to speak at various luncheons and other events. In 1963, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, he gave his first public seminar. He then began presenting seminars all over the country, telling his story and teaching the personal development philosophy he felt had led to his accomplishments.
In 1966, a friend and fellow ex-Nutri-Bio distributor, William E. Bailey, started a company called Bestline Products. Bailey hired Rohn to host recruiting and training meetings all across the country, paying him the sum of $250,000, up front, for his services. (source: Wikipedia)
