Jon Nelsen

Jon Nelsen regularly consults with businesses, cities, and private individuals in marketing, advertising, and transitioning to clean energy. While he wants to help do his part to help other people find their footing in life and make decisions that benefit people and their businesses, he’s also determined to bring value and information to everyone through his books. He began with Q&A interview style books about the American craft brewery revolution and the boom in privately owned Bed & Breakfasts. He now focuses on writing step-by-step guides that educate on psychology and smarter financial choices. His ‘power to the people’ movement focuses on education, friendly and helpful service, and easy-to-follow steps designed to help individuals and professionals’ level up all aspects of their lives from careers, to home, to even energy. Nelsen studied Finance and Psychology at Liberty University before realizing that writing would probably be an easier career choice. Boy was he wrong. However, he knows why you’re broke and wants to know how you feel about it. While he didn’t start out living the dream, his writing helps others discover theirs. He currently resides in beautiful, sunny, warm… erm… well, beautiful Mount Gretna, Pennsylvania with his growing family.

introduction

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

~ Dr. Seuss

So before we dive into the meat of this book, let’s talk about a few fundamental principles that everyone on this planet can relate to.

These principles can not only shape the way you live your life, but form the lens through which you view the world. I’m asking you to read these and truly comprehend what they mean, because simply grasping these concepts will be enough to change the trajectory of your life and perhaps your family's life decades into the future.

And rather than hearing these thoughts from me (you don’t know me yet), I want you to hear it from people who have already made their impact on the world. An impact that perhaps you might still make as well…

YOUR MINDSET IS YOUR ONLY LIMITATION

I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.

~ Mahatma Gandhi

The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Stop giving other people the power to control your happiness, your mind, and your life. If you don’t take control of yourself and your own life, someone else is bound to try."

~ Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

LEARNING MASTERY HAS A METHOD

If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.

~ Michelangelo Buonarroti

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

~ John F. Kennedy

It took me a lifetime.

~ Pablo Picasso

THE BEST TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE IS RIGHT NOW

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

~ Leo Tolstoy

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

~ Rumi

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

~ Jim Rohn

If I have one singular goal through writing, it is to change the way people view themselves in the world around them. With this goal in mind each book is broken into three simple parts:

The Mindset

The Method

The Implementation

I do this because we live in a world that wants to make you small and take away your control. We’re surrounded by people who want to tell us we’re limited in what we can do, believe, or achieve. The worst part is if you don’t learn to rewire your thinking, you can start to believe the nonsense and negativity.

Through mastery of your mindset you can train your brain to become your biggest asset and strongest ally. When you take the time to learn the best methods for accomplishing something, you increase your ability to achieve it exponentially. And finally, when you have learned enough to get started, it’s time to take action. Implement the knowledge you have gained and start. Just start, don’t wait, don’t allow doubt to creep in, like Nike says, Just Do It!

I write each book to help you fully understand the most basic ideas of a concept and remove the illusion that rapid change takes dramatic effort.

Life is a series of small steps and tiny victories. Decide who you are, what you believe in, then test why you have those beliefs.

Decide what your goal is and make sure it matters to you on a deeper level.

Visualize your achievement of the goal

Then work BACKWARDS from that goal to where you are today. Create the steps, think about the obstacles, and make them so small and manageable that each day, week and month you are continuously marching towards your dreams.

I have written several books and I hope that this will be a lifelong effort demystifying the anxieties, worries, and stresses people maintain. There is no giant mystery to what I do, and I am not some uniquely gifted writer or philosophical thinker. I simply study the best advice and information available about a subject and distill it down into actionable pieces. Helping people just like you achieve what they want out of life by using a logical, systematic, and repeatable approach.

The keyword is ACTIONABLE, because you must choose to take action or you will never become who you want to be. For years I had the biggest dreams and the shortest attention span. I would aspire to greatness, but get overwhelmed by the process. It took a rewiring of my mindset to determine that breaking a goal into almost microscopic parts and achieving daily victories makes it easier to triumph than fail.

Why this book matters?

This book is about setting up the foundation of the rest of your life. It’s about making choices based on both logic and your heart to discover the best career and life path immediately after graduation. After that it will show you step by step just what you need to make your dreams a reality. You will learn exactly What College Didn’t Teach You About Getting Hired! Best of all, you will learn the exact process countless others have used to find meaningful employment in a career that fulfills them!
