Jon Eborn - Staying Present and Living for Now!

By Jon Eborn

We cannot change the past, but we can learn from it.  Gather skills and insights from it.  The future is an unknown world of opportunities and possibilities.  The only time that we can truly have an effect on is the present.  We can lay a good foundation NOW on which to build a future full of the things that we want to have and experience.  Stay present in all things and stop worrying about what has happened or what is yet to come.  Learn and move on.  Go ahead and dream the dreams of all of the wonderful things but then be present, take the action that will effectively move you to that future you desire.  NOW is all that we really have.

Jon Eborn - An Attitude of Gratitude

By Jon Eborn

Every morning and evening begin and end the day with a few moments to reflect on what you are grateful for.  Many things in life we take for granted.  Things like clean air, your health, your children, your spouse, the rain storm, your job, friends and co-workers, the flowers in your yard…  No matter what is happening in your life there is something to be grateful for. The more you focus on what you are grateful for, the more things and experiences you will attract that are desirable.

Jon Eborn - Success is a Spiritual Journey

By Jon Eborn

Success is a buzzword when it comes to personal and business development.  There are hundreds of resources out there with many tips and tricks to achieve success and I am a fan of many of them.  I love to study the principles of success, as well as read stories of men, women, and youth who have overcome all sorts of obstacles in order to find success.  In all my years researching this topic, I have come to realize that if you want success in any area, your understanding of what success means is a key ingredient in actually achieving it.

I like the way Deepak Chopra defines success. He states that success is “the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals.”  Society defines success much differently most of the time, as many people define it based on things like social status, material possessions, degrees, financial status, and so on.  Granted, those things can be related to success, but they are not necessarily the definition of success.

I like to daydream about success. I like to strive for success in all areas of my life.  Deepak mentions ‘the continued expansion of happiness’ as success.  I think most of us can agree that external things really don’t bring us lasting happiness.  The hot car, the upscale home, and the money in the savings account can make us smile and feel good, but that feeling doesn’t last forever.  I remember thinking plenty of times in life, “I’ll be happy when…..” and then that thing comes and two weeks later I’m left thinking, “Now what?”  External things bring us temporary happiness, which hey, I love, but I’m after something that lasts for the long haul.

Deepak also mentions ‘the progressive realization of worthy goals’.  I’ve become a goal-oriented person over the past few years.  I am a firm believer that success in any area in contingent upon setting goals, creating an action plan, and actually taking action to attain them.  So in essence, Deepak defines success as being happy and learning to do what makes us happy.

Jon Eborn - Welcome To My Blog!

By Jon Eborn

Hi! Welcome!

I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 30 years. I’ve built successful businesses in several different verticals. Some lasted, and some didn’t. Some died at the mercy of misplaced trust, some succeeded in spite of it But the one thing that always existed as an undercurrent was the opportunity to move people toward better things.

I own One Blue Chair, a boutique ad agency that seeks to provide world class advertising and consulting services, compliance monitoring and video, graphic and design services to companies who might not be able to afford a Madison Avenue Mad Man!

As an author, speaker, teacher, mentor and trainer, I get to motivate people to release the things that have been holding them back, and move on to greatness. I get to stand toe to toe with the most amazing souls in a commonality rooted in the desire to rise above.

I’m the author of several books, including Automatic Abundance, 111 Secrets To Abundance.. and my latest… The Tao Of Business (How to lose everything you own on a Thursday). The Tao of Business tells a true story of how it’s possible for you to lose your way in pursuit of success. In my business, I aligned myself with people who didn't share the same core values of honestly and ethic that I had learned. I trusted the wrong people, made a couple of bad decisions based in greed, and lost every thing I owned.
