Leaving a Profit

07-The Road to Financial Independence

The whole world benefits if we all leave more profit, touch something and leave it better than you found it.

I (Jim Rohn) talked to a man who rents a lot of apartments. He said, “Mr. Rohn, you wouldn’t believe it. When most people leave the apartment, it’s trashed.” What a reputation to leave, that everything you touch gets dirty. You’ve got to turn that around. Train yourself to leave a profit instead.

A friend of mine has made money on every car he’s bought. Why? Because when he sells them, they’re in better condition than when he acquires them.

The key for parents is to touch a life and leave it better than you found it. The key for leaders is to touch a business and leave it better than you found it. The key for employees is to touch a job and leave it better than you found it. Leave a profit.

What a world this would be if everybody tried to leave it in better condition than they found it!
