Plumbing is Really Cool A group of us were talking today and my friend mentioned how annoyed and upset her husband gets about paying taxes. A bunch of people jumped in about being grateful. Highways are nice. Infrastructure is nice. Incomes are nice etc. I asked the group, “Have any of you lived in a […]
When letting go doesn’t seem to work
June 23, 2015 by Leave a Comment
I heard a great question today ~ “I’ve done a lot of letting go work – tapping, Sedona, etc. around being able to find good people for my business. But, it doesn’t seem to stick. What’s up with that?” Usually when this happens, it means that we need to go deeper. Here’s a metaphor: If […]

My daughter graduated from 6th grade today. Imagine her saying, “Well now that I’ve graduated 6th grade I’ve arrived.” Or, “I’ll be happy now.” Or, “Good, that should prove that I am enough.” That would be ridiculous.

There is time for relaxation, play, and fun (and a time for hard work)! Otherwise, what’s the point? Whenever we say something like this, it is […]
Argue for greatness

Much Love, Jonathan I […]

April 25, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Activity and busyness are not the same as effectiveness and results. People often confuse these two. It is not about the number of activities we have e.g. 1×1 meetings or phone calls. It is about the results they produce. The more effective and efficient we become, the less busy we need to be. Effectiveness and […]
