Passion Struck with John R. Miles · The Power of Positive Habits: Simple Changes That Transform Your Life | Jon Gordon - EP 791 · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

This is what I love.

And yes, I can be very successful with the restaurants, but I have to let them go.

So I decided to sell in 2005 with the goal of hopefully becoming a successful writer and speaker, which is what I really dreamed of and really wanted to do.

And my wife was not happy about it.

She's like, no, we can't.

We're finally comfortable.

Because we were entrepreneurs always...

hanging on by a thread.

She's like, we're finally comfortable.

And now you want to sell?

I said, I have to.

Because what happens if it doesn't work?

I said, there are no other options.

I got to go for it.

And it's funny because I talk about this in the new book, The Power of Positive Habits.

One of the habits is don't let the good get in the way of the great.

I think so often we settle for the good, but we don't pursue what we truly want that will help us become great.

have this vision in our minds and this pressure of what greatness is supposed to be.

And we wind up putting so much pressure on ourselves that we actually don't enjoy the journey and don't enjoy the process.

I think it's about showing up every day and giving your best.
