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.

Jump start

Great book taking notes along with listening helps a lot get the most out of it. A must read for anyone.

Interesting topics, well put

Interesting listen, with gems that should be taken seriously. Note, it has an underlying Christian message, but if you're tolerant of it, it shouldn't affect you too much. Will definitely listen to again

Incredible

I've heard so much about Jim Rohn but this was my first time to read or listen to him. So glad I did. I love his old school mentality and his focus on personal accountability. No more telling myself BS stories. If something is wrong in my life, it's my own fault and my responsibility to fix it, or die trying.

One of those truly rare books

I can be a little weary of the sort of "ra-ra" pump up style self-help genre. But a good friend said this one is different – and he was right. We're coming up on 500 books in our audible account and I'd put this one somewhere in my top 10. Read it twice in the first week and will read it regularly. Perhaps the best synthesis on what it means and what it takes to have a "successful" life.

Great book provides nice direction

Great listen and is definitely a hidden gem worth listening to
I. Enjoyed it it

inspirational and practical

Easy to listen to. Jim Rohn breaks it down point by point. a must read.

He's Dead... But he still contribute!

I know he's successful and what he said made sense because at the very least his words helped me.

Can't go wrong with Jim Rohn

Jim Rohn is simply the best! Another great listen. Have a note pad near by, there are many gems on this audiobook.
