Whilst I’ve only been delving into self improvement for a relatively short time, I think I’ve found the perfect self improvement plan. Why is it perfect?
- Low cost – start with a low one time cost and then move on to monthly if you want.
- Some of the best self improvement resources you will find anywhere.
- All available as digital downloads. These are all self improvement online courses.
Start With Jim Rohn
Many of the top self improvement and business coaches such as Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy and Mark Victor Hansen have a great deal of respect for Jim Rohn. Here are some quotes:
“I truly believe Jim Rohn is an extraordinary human being whose philosophy can enhance the quality of life for anyone who exposes themselves to it. He certainly had a positive impact on me at a time in my life when I was first forming the philosophies that guide me today.” - Anthony Robbins
“Jim Rohn is outstanding! He is among the most polished, professional speakers in America, with a message everyone should hear.” – Brian Tracy
Jim Rohn is the master motivator – he has style, substance, charisma, relevance, charm, and what he says makes a difference and it sticks. I consider Jim the ‘Chairman of Speakers.’ The world would be a better place if everyone heard my friend, Jim Rohn.” – Mark Victor Hansen
Sadly, Jim Rohn passed away in December 2009. He has left an incredible legacy though which will last for many many years to come. My recommendation for you if you are just starting out or even if you’ve tried a course and haven’t been satisfied with the results, is to purchase Jim Rohn’s ‘Challenge To Succeed‘. It is a set of MP3 files that you can download and burn on to 4 CDs. Topics include:
- Five Major Pieces To The Life Puzzle
- Success Is Easy
- Books To Read
- What Shapes Our Attitudes
- Wisdom & Labor
- Work Harder On Yourself
- Setting Goals
- The Day That Turns Your Life Around
There are many more – that’s just a small selection. This particular set is one that I think everyone should have. It should be given out at schools, to workers and to business owners. It really is THAT good. And at $39 it’s a really cheap way to get a really incredible audio set. You can read more about it here – Challenge To Succeed – and purchase online. Once you pay you have immediate access to the download. I listen to it in the car and I also have the audios on my iPod to listen to when I’m on the exercise bike or out walking.
Jim Rohn’s One Year Success Plan
This is the next step up and still very affordable. There is currently a special on that gets you the first 3 months for just $9.97/mth and the remaining 9 months for $17.97/mth. Here’s the course outline:

That’s a very comprehensive course! You can sign up for that one at the Your Success Store website.
The Success Principal
This course is a little more pricey at $67/mth but it goes into a bit more about online marketing. The course consists of 9 sections which open on a weekly basis – so you can;t go flipping around and losing track. You have to follow the course through one week at a time. The main coach is Jerry Clark, a guy who was ‘born in a garage’ and went on to become a self made millionaire in his early 20′s. You can find out more about the course via some videos at The Success Principle.
I’m currently using all three of these. You can read about The Success Principle in my other posts. The 1 year Jim Rohn course starts for me in early February so I’ll be posting more about that after it begins. I’m really looking forward to that one as Jim Rohn really was an amazing individual!
