7 Strategies for Wealth & Happiness
by jim-rohn
Jim Rohn's practical framework for building wealth and happiness through seven disciplines: goal-setting, learning, change, financial control, time mastery, relationships, and living well.
The 7 Strategies
- Unleash the Power of Goals — Set concrete objectives across all life domains. Write them down.
- Seek Knowledge — Learn continuously through reading, reflection, and mentorship. Self-education builds fortunes.
- Learn How to Change — Personal transformation precedes external success. Work on yourself first.
- Control Your Finances — Follow the 70/30 rule: live on 70%, allocate 30% to savings, investment, and giving.
- Master Time — Schedule strategically. What you do with your hours determines your results.
- Surround Yourself with Winners — Your associations shape your outcomes. Choose relationships that elevate you.
- Learn the Art of Living Well — Wealth means little without happiness. Develop practices that amplify joy.
Core Philosophy
Rohn argues that income rarely exceeds personal development. The path to prosperity runs through self-improvement, not circumstance. Discipline bridges the gap between intention and achievement.
Key Insight
Formal education provides a living. Self-education builds a fortune. The difference between where you are and where you want to be comes down to daily disciplines applied consistently.
