Its very sad that in the last 2 months the personal development world has lost 2 of its greatest. While these men have left behind great legacy’s, it’s important to remember that their legacy’s goes well beyond the amount of money they made in their lives. I am often reminded that in the network marketing world, success is usually determined by the amount of money someone makes, and the amount of toys they have, but the reality is that it goes so much deeper. You see the money, the cars, the houses, and all the other trinkets of success are just a by-product of the amount of people that you have personally helped along the way.

While these gentlemen will go down in the history books as some of the greatest business philosophers of our time, its important to realize that the success they enjoyed was a direct reflection of the amount of people they brought with them. To often I see networkers talk about the big money they are going to make, and their focus is solely on the material things. You always see the big cars and houses, and the fancy jewlery being advertised, but ask youself, what kind of legacy do you want to leave? Do you want to be remembered for the millions you made, or for the amount of people you helped? I don’t know about you, but I choose the later.

I choose to remember these gentlemen for their unwavering commitment to help people all over the world, and the fact that they brought value and positive change to peoples lives, this is what brought in the millions they made.

When my time comes I want people to look back and say that I was someone who cared about people, someone that did everything that he could to help those that wanted to move in a positive direction with their business and their life, and that I was someone that impacted thousands of peoples lives by the way I lived. Is that what you want? I believe that is how these 2 gentlemen would have wanted to be remembered.

So to answer the question in my title to this post, Jim Rohn and Paul J. Meyer are legends because they helped millions and millions of people throughout the course of their life achieve a greater sense of success in business, family, finances, and spirituality.

Always keep your focus on what you can do to impact a persons life in a positive way, and you will see the by-product of money come your way.

Here is a great video to pay tribute to Jim Rohn.

To Your Massive Success,
