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
June 15, 2015 by Leave a Comment
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. […]

Hope and the Way

In many ways, I see the work that I do as restoring hope to people that things can indeed be different and then showing them the path to create this.

Aiming For

Do you know what you are aiming for? Can you answer that question immediately? (Oftentimes people cannot clearly and quickly answer that question.) If not, then how can the universe possibly get behind you and provide you with what you need? Much Love, Jonathan I write these Daily Doses because I know that my content […]
