"I was laid off twice in two and a half years." At minute 1:00, Jon talks about why he decided to stop moving his family around and decided to start his business.

When you write, you learn about yourself. At minute 5:00, Jon talks about how he grew his business through one of his biggest strengths: writing.

Work-life balance doesn't mean spending all of your time with your family. At minute 13:00, Jon talks about why you need to spend time with the people that matter to you but also need to spend enough time in your business to continually challenge yourself.

Do what you're good at and delegate everything else. At minute 17:00, Jon talks about his team and what he delegates.

You have to experiment. At minute 24:00, Jon talks about how to figure out what is going to work for you and your business and why you shouldn't worry if something doesn't work immediately.
