Guest Bio

Jonathan is committed to helping others who feel stagnant in life, believe that they can achieve more than where they currently are by expressing and sharing their gifts and talents through business, but don’t know the right path to take. Jonathan came from very humble beginnings in a small Alabama town to becoming a growing small business owner, growth strategist, and business coach with close to ten years of experience, leading a small team within the architecture and engineering industry to seven figure financial success. He has helped many aspiring business owners start and has helped current small businesses expand in the industries of construction, home services, consulting, insurance, cinematography, hospitality, e-commerce, and many more. He enjoys reading other works from renowned self-help authors and entrepreneurs. Jonathan believes that everyone has the seeds of greatness on the inside of them and needs just a little bit of nurturing to grow into the person and business owner they know they can be. He was inspired to write this book because of his early struggles in entrepreneurship before becoming successful. He realized that there is a lack of accessible mentors and coaches which can help minimize the numbers of mistakes, open the mind to new ways of thinking, and generate a productive and positive mindset towards overcoming challenges in business. Jonathan intends to be an active part of the solution.
