Publisher's Summary

Ambition can be a powerful force for good in our lives. But only if it is legitimate. Sometimes misinterpreted and often misunderstood, ambition - true ambition - is not a selfish quality. It is not another word for ruthless; it is not something to be shunned or subdued. Legitimate ambition is an honorable trait. At its very best, our ambition serves us and other people. In fact, pursuing your ambition is one of the most selfless things you can do. In The Power of Ambition: Unleashing the Conquering Drive Within You, renowned speaker and author Jim Rohn reevaluates the role of ambition in all aspects of our lives, exploring the facts, debunking the fiction and revealing the six life-changing steps anyone can take to build their legitimate ambition. Let Jim Rohn be your guide as you learn how to use your ambition not only to change what is going on around you, but what is going on within you. Along the way, you will also learn:

  • How to develop the three cornerstones of an ambitious life.
  • Why enlightened self-interest leads to wealth and why self-preservation leads only to poverty.
  • Why life reserves its treasures for those who deserve them, not for those who need them.
  • The seven components of resilience and how they can work for you.
  • How creativity and courage can keep you actively working toward your goals.
  • The secrets of successful networking and other ways to make your relationships work for you.
  • The five aspects of patience in action, otherwise known as persistence.

True ambition is a disciplined, eager desire for achievement. It is a state of mind, a way of life. With The Power of Ambition you can take charge of your own personal happiness, chart your own course through life and let your legitimate ambition create whatever you desire, take you wherever you want to go.

Brilliant

Jim Rohn is a great speaker and understands a lot of concepts that are proven to work. His sense of humour and wit is spot on. It's an audiobook you'll be playing a lot. A good investment if you use it. To get the most out of the audiobook play it once a month and really absorb the information to apply it in your life until it becomes a habit and natural way of you doing things.
Good luck and enjoy.

A marvelous book!

Jim is like a father to me. This book is such a great inspiration. Anyone seeking guidance or foundational wisdom to harness and direct his or her ambitions will find concepts and ideas that have passed the test of time yet perfectly adapted to today's epic challenges.

Do I recommend this book? If you like the kind of book you enjoy listening many times over, then get that one! it's my third time.

Enjoy!

BEST BOOK for MEN

As a female I think this book is not for me, but for all Men out there. it teaches you everything about developing masculine qualities..if you're a woman and keep acting this way you'll kill your femininity..so I listened, I appreciated, definitely took few tips and hints for my own development, but this is for MEN..thank you, I enjoyed this:)

Jim Rohn Classic

There is a reason he is called the "great" Jim Rohn. He explains the principles of Free Enterprise in plain language, and the philosophy of taking personal responsibility to building your best life.

Mr Rohn reaches from the other side with this timeless message and there has never been a more important time than now.

People of all ages should reflect on this philosophy and the importance of this message or we may lose this way of life after only 250 years after the American Revolution.
