Yo, today's QLDS. If you want the things on the higher shelf, you've got to stand on the books you read.

Here we go.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Croxton, a Sean Croxton.com.

We got Jim Rohn on this show today. And let me tell you, today's quote is, what are my favorite of all times?

I mean, listen to this. If you want the things on the higher shelf, you've got to stand on the books you read.

That's incredible. I am shocked that I've never heard this one before and all my years of doing this.

And what Jim's going to do today is share his personal story of hitting rock bottom.

And when he was ready for his teacher, his teacher appeared, his mentor, Earl Shelf.

And Jim is going to share so much wisdom, so much philosophy.

There were so many different quotes that I could have taken from this one.

But of course, I had to feature the one that was about books because I love books. And I want more people to read books.

But I encourage you to listen to this one multiple times because the quotes and the wisdom in here can literally be a life changer for you.

Jim Rohn, he's coming up.

As you know, my story, I met someone was I was 25 years old. His name was Earl Shelf.

And he walked into my life at an extraordinary time.

So key phrase, timing has a lot to do with it. And who knows part of the mystery of time, the timing.

Part of the timing one I was, I just had that experience that I've shared in other seminars when the girl scout knocked on my door.

And she gave me the big pitch on the girl scout cookies, best organization in the world for girls, got several flavors, time to buy the cookies, only $2.

And with a big smile, she very politely asked me to buy. No problem I wanted to buy. Big problem, I didn't have $2 in my pocket.

And I didn't want to tell her that. So I did what I thought was next best. I lied to her.

And I said, hey, look, I've already bought plenty of girls scout cookies. We've still got plenty in the house we haven't eaten yet.

She said, oh, that's wonderful. Thank you very much. And she leaves. When she leaves, I say to myself, I don't want to live like this anymore.
