VBL047 – How to Illuminate Your Mind and Avoid ‘Ordinary’, with Jonathan Mead!




Virtual Business Lifestyle - Online Business, Start-Up, Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle Design and Outsourcing Advice show

Summary: Today's podcast guest, Jonathan Mead is a guy that knows what he wants, and goes out to take it, on his own terms, every day. You have to love that! At his excellent blog, Illuminated Mind (http://www.illuminatedmind.net/), his tagline reads "Live and Work on your Own Terms - Don't read if you want Ordinary!'. I love that even more! I first met with Jonathan last year at BlogWorld in Vegas. We enjoyed a dinner, together with his wife, and various other great minds that were at the same table, such as Corbett Barr (http://www.virtualbusinesslifestyle.com/2011/05/build-traffic-corbett-barr/), David Risley (http://www.virtualbusinesslifestyle.com/2011/02/membership-sites-david-risley/), Maren Kate (http://www.virtualbusinesslifestyle.com/2010/05/vbl-podcast-entrepreneur-blogger-and-web-darling-maren-kate/) to name a few. And I remember Jonathan because he had this sense of calmness about him. The rest of us were super pumped to be at the conference and were a tad over excited, I would say. But, Jonathan sat there with a smoothness about him that only a man living on his own terms would. This is a man I needed to get onto the VBL Podcast! In today's podcast session you'll hear me and Jonathan talk about, amongst other things: * Why its so important to do what you truly love, and being creative. * The difference between motivation and purpose and how to take the answer, and apply it to business. * How he helps people align their passions to be able to live a life truly worth living. * The focus that he had on wanting to work for himself, instead of just going through the motions of working for someone else. * Much, much more!

Spend a bit of time getting to know him some more over at his blog (http://www.illuminatedmind.net/), and be sure to follow him on Twitter (http://twitter.com//jonathanmead), too. Tell him that Chris Ducker sent you, and he might, just might give you a free latte, or something. Then again, he might not! Are you living on your own terms? If not, why not? Whats in your way?
