“When you know what you want, and you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to get it.” One of Jim Rohn’s most famous quotes.
For those that don’t know Jim Rohn was arguably one of the most influential authors and motivational speakers of his generation. He died in 2009. Jim was an absolute quote factory. Perhaps most famously known for advising that “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I can’t count the number of times guests on my Screw the Naysayers podcast have shared this quote.
Jim also said “If you don’t like how things are, change it. You are not a tree”. And then there is one of my favorites, “If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”
The man was a genius and most likely forgot more things about entrepreneurship and mindset than I will ever know. That’s why I’ve always hesitated to say much when people say, “If you want it bad enough you’ll find a way.” Who am I to question the wisdom of a man like Jim Rohn?
But I do feel as if the quote is open to misinterpretation. Listen in to learn why.
