One of the first sayings of Jim Rohn that had an impact on me was “Don’t major in minor things.”
An incredible teacher and mentor, “America’s Foremost Business Philosopher” Mr. Jim Rohn
One of the key characteristics of an entrepreneur is your focus on major goals. Once your life is dedicated to a purpose, a sense of urgency will develop as time takes on a different nature. You will sense the need to take advantage of opportunities and not squander time.
Darren Hardy, the author of The Compound Effect and one of Jim Rohn’s closest disciples, states: “Give me enough time, and I will beat virtually anybody, anytime, in any competition.”
As you strengthen your personal philosophy, you will spend less time doing minor things like watching mind-numbing television programming, getting lost in trivial pursuits or an overdose of ‘time-filling’ leisure interests, things that do not have a clear association with obtaining your business or domestic goals.

What “minor” things do you need to resolve in your life? Please share and comment.

I’ll see you… on the next page
