Jon Tollefson graduated with an engineering degree. He went into engineering because he was told he could build and break things. It’s the application of what he’s doing now that he doesn’t enjoy. He’d rather be creating and building.
Jon’s passion is outdoor sports like wakeboarding and snowboarding. We talk about the underlying purpose of bringing family into his business and making that a core reason for doing business.
He’s planning a Wakeboard Cable Park Tour 2011.
There’s a lot of ideas that Jon’s working on and trying to get pushed forward. I ask him how he keeps sticking with things to try and make them happen.

Jeff Kosola and I connected on twitter a few months ago. He’s delivering pizzas to deliver his way out debt.
deliverawaydebt.com
@deliverawaydebt on twitter
Started with $101,000 in debt and they’re half way to getting debt. He and his family will be debt free in April, 2011.
Jeff works for GM now but doesn’t care for it. In 2007, he took a promotion and moved to China for a 3-year contract. He didn’t like the job so after about 13 months they moved back and he got back into his old job.
They tried for 11 months to get out of debt before hiring my friend Chad Pennycuff to help them get out of debt.
Jeff might get into coaching as he’s not in love with his job at GM.
His blog is inspirational and people have commented that’s it’s moved them towards action.
Biggest mistake – over-committing to posting and not following through.
Best thing he’s done – helping people get off their butts and move towards action with his blog and twitter.

This is a short break from our normal Your Story episodes where I unpack what Story means to me.
And…I share a very big announcement that’s been affecting my business and family for the past few weeks.
A few notes from the show:
Story includes setting, conflict, climax, and resolution.
Don’t you want to look back 20 years from now and say you had the courage to do something few other people ever would?

Alan Jackson is a success evangelist and action expert. He has a degree in radio, television, and journalism and you’ll find him online at snapcoaching.com.
Alan’s all about taking action. SNAP stands for Start Now Action Plan.
Alan says that staying on track is all about accountability. You don’t need Yes Men at the core of your life. You need people who will help hold you accountable.
A few years ago, a bad business decision put Alan and his family very near bankruptcy. He had to reassess his goals and priorities so he could continue to make it work.
“No one is perfect. We need to expect to fail and be ready to pick ourselves up when we do.” – Alan Jackson
“If you don’t take inventory of your life every so often, you’ll get off track.” – Alan Jackson
