Imagine that you get to choose between 2 bosses. One is fault-finding, belittling, grumpy, and generally negative. The other is supportive, optimistic, kind, and happy. Which one would you choose to work for? Which one are you to yourself? Much Love, Jonathan I write these Daily Doses because I know that my content does make […]
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 […]

I was a guest on the Sales Chalk Talk Radio Show with Hugh Liddle and Jim Hamlin. We talked about Daily Dose stuff, or in Hugh’s words, “In Jonathan’s daily blog A Daily Dose of Jonathan, he deals with various subjects about life and business and our thinking. And I’ve seen some recurring themes in his writing […]
Playing the Victim Card
June 18, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Sometimes it is awfully tempting to fall into the victim trap – I’m not responsible, it isn’t my fault. I’d be happy if _________ just behaved differently. I’d be successful if only ___________. No matter how tempting this might seem at times, remember this: No one has ever created joy, happiness, and fulfillment by playing […]
Inconvenience

I heard a fascinating presentation from Tom Tillapaugh, the founder of The Denver Street School. He said that the key to helping at-risk youth is to have people who are willing to provide sacrificial intervention to the point of extreme inconvenience. i.e. they need support and mentoring from already successful people who already have full […]
Confusing Mile Markers With Destinations

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. But that’s what we tend to do in our lives. “Oh, when I hit SMD/RVP/Blue Diamond/100K ring/top producer’s roundtable/etc. […]

Just for the fun of it
June 12, 2015 by Leave a Comment
100 years from now, no one will care if you were successful or not successful, happy or not happy, lived adventurously or bored yourself to death. So in a cosmic sense it doesn’t really matter what you do with your life. But it does matter to the individual! (Wouldn’t you rather lead a happy and […]
Two Thoughts on “Busy”
June 12, 2015 by Leave a Comment
Keeping a bunch of plates spinning is a metaphor that is often used for being busy. Keeping a bunch of balls in the air (juggling) is used too. In these acts, plates do get dropped. It’s okay. They just pick up another one, start it spinning, and continue with the act. Last summer at Cirque […]
