Chad Kaser and Elizabeth Cobb were mentored tonight in Hyde Park, Cincinnati, by World Renown Motivational Speaker…. Jim Connelly. He credits the Napoleon Hill Foundation who calls on him to speak at their events.
When Jim Connelly was very young his strong work ethic was the only thing he could rely on in life.
“I came from nothing….literally…. When I began my journey, my car wouldn’t run in the daylight and I lived in Southern California. I had to get to work before the sun came up or I wouldn’t have made it there at all.”
He came out of the Projects of West Virginia, and took five years to graduate from high school. He was working in a factory in Southern, CA, and one day almost lost his arm, which caused Jim to rethink his professional life. Jim answered an ad for a clerk’s position at a local hotel and when he got to the job location, it turned out to be the prestigious Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Nerves set in and he felt completely out of his element, but didn’t let that stop him. He approached the front desk, knees knocking, and asked for the General Manager. He was told to find the GM in the Mezzanine and he thought….”What’s a Mezzanine?” He had to ask a girl in the elevator where to go? Relying on his work ethic, Jim kept moving his life forward, never giving up, working up the ranks, faster than most, and six years later he became the General Manager of that very Hotel.
He developed a passion for people! He took an appreciation for every individual that came into the hotel and surround himself with successful people who took initiative in life and learned from them. Many of these individuals soon became Jim’s mentors.
Monday, we shall discuss how leaders such as Jack Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Frank Sinatra, Ross Perot changed the course of Jim Connelly’s life forever…..
