The Entrepreneur DNA Justin Colby

Jon Gordon, a 16-time bestselling author, about his journey as a writer and the key themes in his books. We discuss the importance of belief, hard work, failure, perseverance, and growth in achieving success. Jon shares his personal experiences of going through the fire and adapting to challenges. We also delve into Jon's books, particularly 'The Energy Bus' and 'The One Truth,' which emphasize the power of positivity, teamwork, and oneness. Jon emphasizes the importance of authenticity and being true to oneself. The conversation explores the power of thoughts and the impact they have on our lives. Negative thoughts lead to separation, division, and dysfunction, while positive thoughts lead to connection, unity, and strength. The key is to recognize that negative thoughts are not coming from us, but rather from external forces. By choosing to respond to negative thoughts with truth and positivity, we can transform our mindset and create a more fulfilling life. The conversation also touches on the importance of gratitude, self-talk, and prayer in elevating our state of mind and fostering connection.
