Implementing a new habit rarely feels life-changing at first. Going for a morning walk and getting a few minutes of sunlight, or visualizing checking something off a to-do list, might sound like activities that barely move the needle.
Yet over time, those small actions often become the difference between feeling stuck and becoming the person you're capable of being. And after reading the first chapter of Jon Gordon's newest book, The Power of Positive Habits, I felt the benefits from that one simple action in the first 5 minutes.
Jon is the bestselling author of 33 books, including The Energy Bus, which has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. But before becoming one of the most respected voices in leadership and personal development, Jon struggled with negativity to the point that his wife told him their marriage wouldn't survive unless he changed. That wake-up call led him on a journey that transformed his mindset, career, and life.
In our conversation, Jon shares the habits that reduce friction and make it easier to follow through, why becoming your own greatest encourager can change everything, and how letting go of the past can unlock the mental blocks that prevent you from becoming the best version of yourself.
