Gano Excel is sad to announce the passing of Jim Rohn, the world's foremost business philosopher. He was 79.
Throughout his over 40-year career as a speaker, Mr. Rohn has touched countless lives with his honest, direct message about respecting oneself and working actively towards one's dreams. His message has been particularly popular in the network marketing industry, where companies like Gano Excel have used his DVDs, books, and CDs as integral parts of their trainings and presentations.
We've talked about Mr. Rohn here before, and have been inspired by his message more times than we can say. Mr. Rohn courageously fought Pulmonary Fibrosis for 18 months, and though his passing saddens us, we know that he is headed to a better place. As Mr. Rohn himself said, “I go with you in all the experience that we’ve had. But I promise you this as we leave here: I will not leave you behind. I’ll take you with me in my thoughts and in my heart.”
Mr. Rohn's philosophy covered so many topics, from education to parenthood, earning money to the importance of books and education. More than just a "business philosopher," Mr. Rohn brought essential truths to countless people, and for that we all owe him an immense debt of gratitude.
A memorial service will be held in the Los Angeles area in the coming weeks. It's guaranteed that members of your Gano Excel team will be there to honor Mr. Rohn's memory; we suggest you do the same. Keep an eye on the Jim Rohn Tribute site and your Gano Excel corporate blog for more details in the coming days. In the meantime, let's all remember Mr. Rohn the best way we can -- by remaining dedicated to our businesses and ourselves, and listening to the lessons he shared with us all!

We so sorry God Bles you
