KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It took Jonathan a long time to find his vocation. After trying several different careers, and several different ways of living, he finally conquered his failures, defied the advice he was receiving, and found his place in the world.
• The only true failure is if you don’t learn from it. Lessons come in all shapes and sizes. Look for the way to grow from any opportunity.
• In Jonathan’s opinion, the 99% of the least wealthy in the world are slowly conditioned to believe that they should not try to succeed as they will fail. Even in an educational environment, we are told to act in a certain way and develop in a certain way. The disruptors are the ones who break the programming and succeed despite the advice.
• Vigilance is the only way to guard against bad advice. Study the referrals and listen to what they say and look for congruency. Have they achieved success? Are they qualified to coach or mentor anyone?
• Everyone with a message needs a Personal Media Platform (PMP) so that they can “PMP” their message. There are many available including podcasting, video, writing. Find your way to magnify your message and plant your flag.
• Decide what scaling means for you. Does it mean growing the business? Does it mean increasing your revenue? Does it mean being able to lessen your personal workload?
• Doing your best is not enough. You need to show people that you do the best work. You need to market yourself, You owe it to yourself to get that message out there. 
• In order to grow, you need to shake things up once in a while. You need structure, routine and consistency, but make sure you temper all that with experimentation and step out of your comfort zone. That’s how you grow
