Introduction Jim Rohn is the legend of the self-help industry and personal development. He, after going through a number of studies on motivation, found that there are four main factors that are the most powerful human motivators. You can use these four Factors to accomplish your goals.

When one side benefits more from the transaction as compared to another side then it is known as a Win-Lose Situation. In the short run, the winner might feel good but in long term, it breeds distrust and resentment.

Let’s further explore Habit 4: Think Win-Win through 6 paradigms of human interaction. 6 paradigm...
