Success and Relationships with Jon Milonas
In this episode, Rich and Jon discuss:
- Jon’s secret to his success
- Facing the roadblocks along your way to success
- The power of connecting with good people
- What success looks like for Jon
- Being okay with sitting in difficult situations
Key Takeaways:
- Surround yourself with supportive people. Success lies in the belief that it isn't about you, it's about the people you have surrounded yourself with who have helped you get to where you are.
- The roadblocks to your success will only be overcome by your hunger for excellence and determination to achieve excellence.
- Connect and build relationships - the simple act of just connecting with good people you would be unlikely to meet is a simple thing that can really impact both your and other people's lives in a very positive way.
- A path to success and career advancement happens when you focus on filling yourself with more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
- It's okay to sit in difficult situations or in pain. Sometimes, people just want some space to be heard, not always everything fixed.
"The first way to make an impact is to have proximity to someone who needs it and then having the decision to show up for it." — Jon Milonas
