Getting started is hard. It just is. Whether you have a lifelong dream you’ve never got off the ground or are struggling with a minor bout of procrastination, there are some simple strategies to get you going.   One of the key principles of Go Be More is to keep improving. Small steps in the

“Social distancing” is the term given to the strategy of reducing physical contact in order to help control the spread of an infectious disease. But it implies a lack of social engagement that will be critical in the months ahead. My wife and daughter “socially engaging at distance” in 2011. In reality, many of us

Just before the coronavirus cancelled…well, everything, Jon gave a powerful speech to the senior class at Warren High School in Downey, CA. It’s 30 minutes long and it is well worth your time to watch it. If you like the speech and want to see more of our video content, please visit our YouTube channel

We’re excited to announce the launch of our first Kids Collection! Nothing represents unlimited potential more than a young child, and nothing shows your commitment to nurturing their potential like our Go Be More Kids Collection. We all want our kids to dream big dreams, set big goals, and work hard toward achieving them. But

Let’s stop thinking of coronavirus as a global pandemic. It is a local problem that requires each community to band together if we are to solve it. I am having so many conversations with friends in the UK, Italy and the US, and one of the consistent themes is that nobody can believe what’s happening.

With the novel coronavirus COVID-19 disease spreading, we are all faced with the same question: how should we prepare for it? If you’re like me, watching the spread of the novel coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease feels a little like being the guard who gets steamrolled in the first Austin Powers movie. Of course, we

Jon visited Keller Williams Real Estate in Tustin a couple weeks ago and talked to the sales team about the theme “Act As If.” As he says in the talk: “We need to be that person before we become that person.” We need to first envision who we want to be or what we want

We all have too many things to do. If only we could prioritize like a President. Actually, we can. I’ve never been a fan of to-do lists. I see them as a necessary evil. I know I need to write down what I need to do or else I’ll forget. I know to-do lists help

We often fail to appreciate the value of consistency. If you could improve just 1% each day, after one year you’d be among the best in the world. WATCHING KIDS LEARN TO READ We moved to Japan a year and a half ago. My oldest daughter could speak Japanese thanks to her mom, but her

The marginal costs we pay in life can always be recovered. Paying the full cost is often irreversible. This has been an emotional week. The death of Kobe Bryant, and in particular the circumstances of the event, has left many people in shock. These things just don’t happen. That it happened in a helicopter crash

A mental model for understanding why it’s so difficult to get started. I just finished reading the book Zero to One by Peter Thiel. His argument in one line: It is harder and more valuable to go from Zero to One than it is to go from One to N (any number more than One).

We recently spent a few days at my in-laws’ house. They own a farm right up against the mountains in Yamagata, in northern Japan. It’s a wonderfully remote place to spend a few days, overlooking the valley below and surrounded on two sides by lush forest. Living in that forest are bears, deer, wild boars,

As you know if you read our blog, we aren’t that big on setting New Year’s Resolutions. But one thing I do like to do is think back on the past year and consider what I learned and what I want to take from it for the current year. For me, 2019 was a reminder
