Welcome to the speak your success podcast
What's going on successors
Welcome to the speak your success podcast
I'm your host TEDX speaker and best-selling author Jonathan Jones. And today we're here
Today we're here
today is my
31st birthday, so today is our birthday episode
I don't want to really waste too much time
I want to go ahead and get into today's episode cuz I'm really I'm really excited actually about
Just about what was prepared today and and and how I hope the content is going to bless some body
I was thinking how do I want to come at this topic? And
Just really trying to figure out what needs to be said
so I said
Ten lessons that 30 taught me that's right one more time ten lessons that 30 has taught me
So we're gonna go straight into today's
Content and I want to just shout out everybody who's been following on YouTube who's been liking who's been coming who's been subscribing?
I really appreciate you all I'm rocking with you. I love just the engagement that you have
Everybody who comments on my youtube videos miss Nikki. She's a real faithful supporter
Man, who else I just want to I just want to call out some people match
What just keep it real for those of you who have not subscribed to YouTube make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel
Individuals like one minute one life. He's been a great great great great supporter. Also individuals like Joss
Poet Yahoo! The poetic wordsmith. He's phenomenal. They're all around vegan. I love her man
Lobo show the Lobo show like these people have been faithfully supporting and just really
Showing up and showing out. So I really just wanted to give them a quick second to give them those roses and say
Thank you for what they've been doing but now we're gonna go ahead and dive in to today
There's ten things. Hmm
We're gonna count them down so number ten
Following up matters
I think so often we think that just because we do something or scratch that at one point
I would go and do things I would go call the school. I would reach out to somebody about speaking somewhere and
I will send an email I
would just do a phone call and I never took the time to go back and
follow up
but one thing that xxx has taught me is that
Following up matters John if you're expecting that if you're expecting to grow with individual you need to follow up
So I learned this year on follow up
Before the engagement follow up after engagement stay connected with these people because following up is very important in whatever
Area you tamo if you met somebody's mom or dad or whatever at Thanksgiving or Christmas send them a card shoot them a message
um, well maybe not shoot message on Facebook, but send them a card follow-up just so people remember
You and so you're always in the forefront of people's mind
number nine
Relationships are the new currency get you some
They say the sum of your five closest friends if you look at those individuals
That is all you need to know to see where you'll be in the next five years
So I want you to begin to think about who are those people that's in your circle at one point
I used to want to know everybody I used to want to be so popular
I used to want to have all the friends in high school and I think I actually heard Jay will say this on a podcast
a brother by name of Joshua Wilson
I was listening to one of his podcast
Interviews, and he was saying that it's funny because you want to be popular when you're in high school
But then as you get older and as you age a little bit
Then you began to realize that I don't need as many friends as I once desired to have
because the more friends that you have the more you required to be available for them the more
Funds that might cost you if you have somebody who gets in a jam
so I want you to begin to think about who are these people who are
your relationships because like I said
Relationships are the new currency and if you're not connecting with people and seeing how you can add value to them
Or seeing hell you can put them in position to benefit then. What are you really doing, right?
Number eight
Ask for what you want. That's what you want baby. Ask for what you want when you go to the drive-thru
They always say, how may I help you? When you go to stores in different places like that?
People are always asking you questions. People will ask you what you want in your life
But if you never take the time
to ask other people
How can you expect to get what you desire?
You have to ask and you have to be direct in your ass. You don't can't be uh think I kinda wanna
No, no, no, no ask for what you want because if you don't ask then you will never know
Hello. Hello
hmm think about some of the think about
Number seven Oh
Lord that's a I did. Oh I did for for number seven
Yikes, if you're listening to the podcast need to watch on YouTube because I'm struggling to count down my fingers right now
But number seven passivity is so unattractive. So
I
Have a girlfriend right and she would tell me when we first dated that
Then I was passive and
Hearing that really grinding my gears
Okay, can I be honest can we be transparent even though it's not Tuesday? It grinded my gears man
He grinded my gears ladies. It was very upsetting to me, but ultimately it challenged me to
Challenge my passivity. So now when we have conversations and we talk about certain things I
Eliminate passivity at all. I don't want to seem indecisive at all. I'll give a straight answer
I'll give a clear answer and I'll move forward because I want to kill passivity in moderation. I don't want passivity anywhere
No, get away from me passivity. You have no place here. You need to get out my face
Kill it
Number six number six do what you're passionate about doing not what others make you do
Right, we have to begin to move through our lives and do what we want to do
Do what we're passionate about doing so many times
I was doing things that I felt other people wanted me to do as opposed to doing what I wanted to do now
I'm at a place in my life where if you asked me to do something, and I don't want to do it. I
Won't do it if it's for my mom or my dad or somebody who I respect and they asked me to do something
I know it's something that needs to get done or it's required to get done then I might bite that bullet. However
But in my life the things I'm doing with what I desire in my life this podcast is what I wanted to do
Okay speaking is what I wanted to do
Doing these things
I had to come to a place where I would no longer allow myself to be subject to do
What people want me to do in my life? You don't have no stock over here playboy you cannot
Tell me what I'm gonna do with my life because at the end of my life
I'm gonna be satisfied because I did what I was passionate about doing
Not what everybody else told me to do not what was necessarily popular
But what I wanted to do
Number five
Procrastination kills progress. It's
It's tough sometimes because we want to wait scratch that I got I don't want to say we I'm gonna talk about myself
Procrastination the times that I would stay up late in the times that I would end
Up waking up later in the day. I would say man. I feel like I missed out on X amount of hours
Typically, there's like two hours or three hours
Because I stayed up late
So I would I missed out because I was procrastinating and I didn't get the amount of work. I wanted to get done that day
Because I wouldn't make to sleep
now in your life
Where's the area where you've been procrastinating is?
2019 new year new me
Happy new year great. That's that's wonderful. But there's still some things where you're you you're holding your Biden punches
You're like hi. I don't I
Don't know should I should I do this? I don't think I want to do a
Prime example, okay, probably example West whereas weird women down
Right for me. I saw patreon and I was like, I don't wanna do a patreon page. I don't think that's necessary
I don't want to do that
However, I just finally put it all together and I'm releasing the patreon today on my birthday
So now we have a patreon page
So if you want to check out that and get more information on that, we definitely can do that. I
have the information down at the end of the episode so
We just listed off number 5 which is procrastination kills progress
Too often, like I said before I was dragging my feet. I
Thought everybody else around me creating patreon pages
I was like what is patreon and I was like, I'm not gonna create no patreon that don't make no sir
I don't want no patreon page
but then I was dragging I
filled out a couple of boxes
Then I'm just dragging to fit a little bit more information. Then I was dragging I was like, okay
So now I'm happy to announce that we have a patreon page for speak your success
We created a patreon page for speak your success, which is now releasing on my birthday, which is January 25th
Boom, there. It is. So patreon kills progress. Don't allow yourself to get caught up waiting around for other people
Don't allow yourself to get caught up waiting for everything to be perfect everything to be right for that relationship everything to be perfect
Before you pop the question waiting for everything to be perfect
Before you start your business everything to be perfect before you have a logo everything be perfect for you release your podcast
perfection does not exist unless
We're talking about Barbies because Barbie is supposed to be what profession looks like. I guess. I don't know
But Bobby's not even perfect
So don't get caught up in
In procrastinating because you're waiting on perfection because that's not the best way that it goes
So I want you just to constantly remember that and remind yourself procrastination kills next
number four
Contentment does not equal complacency I
Wanted to share that because I had to realize and come to realization for my own self is that
John you you can become tenth right here where you are in your life
You're 30 now about to be 31
You got your college degree. You got your high school diploma. You've been able to achieve a certain level
You can be content here. You can enjoy this you can appreciate this
But just because you're an enjoying and just because you're appreciating this don't become complacent and I and thinking about that
it really motivated me steal because
Complacency can be can be really dangerous and that's when we sit and we revel too long
We can celebrate the things that we've accomplished we can celebrate what we've done. We can celebrate where we are in our lives
However, we have to still remember that there's so much more of the journey that continue to keep going
If we're on this side of the dirt if we're on this side
We need to just keep moving keep going keep going and keep growing number three
If you want to pick my brain
That comes with the invoice
once again
This is ten lessons that thirty years taught me if you want to pick my brain
That comes with an invoice because I've realized that I would sit down and I would talk to people and I would give them great
information
Life-changing information information that would allow them to generate income
And I wouldn't put a price on it
So they decide to put that price on it, which was nothing because they didn't take the information
They didn't utilize the information and then they didn't see the benefit of what could it came from it?
But what did it cost me? It cost me time
It cost me gas and it cost me money to go meet up with these people. So
Therefore I realize if you want to pick my brain we can do it. I have no problem doing it
I will sit down and have a consulting session with you. But you're going to pay an invoice first before that even happens
Because there's too much information out here too much information. I have accrued by reading books by watching videos by paying for car
I've invested over
I've invested a decent amount of money in coach at this point and
people
Sometimes want to get information for free
Which is cool. You can do it on YouTube
But nah, if you if you couldn't pick my brain you go you gonna come with the same voice
You definitely come to the same voice
number two
It's one thing to prepare
for something
for that moment for
that significant other
for that job opportunity
But it's another thing to get it
You can never forget what level of preparation it took you to get to the stage that you desired
You might have been here and you're like well
I have to get I have to work a little bit harder
I have to show up to work a little bit earlier. I have to pursue her like this
I have to buy her the roses after by the candy. She has to see an effort
She wants to go on date. I have to do these things, but if you are
Preparing you're here. But you're preparing to get the woman who's up here
My friends
You have to continue to keep this level of effort up
You can't digress because once you digress mi, hope my friends are watching on YouTube because I'm doing a visual right now
I'm showing you what it looks like
If you're at the bottom of the mountainous she's at the top
Once you climb to the top of the mountain, you have to continue to keep that same effort
For that individual for that opportunity for that job you it took you a certain level of hunger took you a certain level of dedication
it took you a certain level of sacrifice took you a certain level of
investment people and if we don't stay invested if we don't stay locked in if we don't stay committed to
What was at the top of the mountain which first peaked our interest in which first really helped us generate that Drive that grit
Then we'll lose it faster than we even gained it
number one
the most important thing that I've learned that life has taught me at 30 the
Most important lesson I feel in life has taught me at 30
Life happens
No matter what you plan no matter how well you prepare
No matter what you do life happens and it will continue to happen
But how will you respond to life happening?
When life hits you upside the head how will you respond?
Hmm, how are you respond?
Will you get angry?
and react to life
Say life. This isn't fair
What do you mean I can't do
What do you mean? I can't have
Well, why can't I?
But why did they break up with?
Life happens
Or are you gonna respond and say you know what?
That was tough. You know. Hey
This person left my life, but maybe they weren't meant to be with me in the long haul
But I decided to get this but maybe I wasn't ready for it in that moment
But I thought that I was ready but I might need to invest a little bit more a
Little bit more time a little bit more effort a little bit more dedication show where my heart really is
Show that I'm really in
To building a podcast Empire show that I'm really about
building that level of impact show that I'm really here to do what I said I'm here to do because life happens in life will
Test you my friends
And see if you're really about what you said you're about
My favorite speaker speaker inky johnson, he always says that versity will hit you
And it will see if you have the same feelings before
As
After when adversity because adversities gonna hit you is gonna test you to see how strong you really are
To see how strong your character is
To see where your motives really lie and
That's just the question. I want to ask you today. Where do your motives live?
If adversity hits you are you going to quit?
Because
If we quit then imagine the amount of people that we won't be able to reach
because they'll say but John I mean you I love what you're doing here, but
On this part you you came up short because you stopped
John your influential book man, what happened over here? I mean, you're a great businessman, but what about what about your family over here?
John you had two kids and then you got what you walked out on your wife. Why would you do hmm?
Adversity is gonna come in your relationship. It's gonna come in your business idea. It's gonna come while you're at work
It's gonna come when you're on the climb of the corporate ladder. How will you?
respond
Or will you react when life happens because it's gonna come at you from all angles and all sides
But when you overcome that adversity, my friend
Then you're ready for that next level
