Since a young age Jonathan Mead has had a hard time doing things he's not passionate about. He left the corporate scene at age 23 to become self-employed doing what makes him come alive: helping others create work they love while getting paid to be who they are. He's an in demand coach, writer and producer of several digital guides and courses on following your dreams and getting paid to exist.
He's also a Jeet Kune Do practitioner, barefoot runner, madly in love husband and adventure seeker. Jonathan believes that instead of seeking "work and life balance" we should seek to eliminate any possible boundaries, and leave it up to others to decide whether our endeavors are work or play.If you had to write a job description for an entrepreneur, what is the one skill or attribute that absolutely must be on it?
When I think about hiring someone, I think about whether or not I'll have to push them, or reign them in. I don't want someone I have to tell to keep going. I want to have to scream "Stop! You're crazy!"
