Jonathan Cronstedt, or JCron to those close to him, is a dangerously dedicated executive strategist.

A leader at the executive level in mortgage, finance, digital marketing, EdTech and direct sales, Jonathan’s skill set is diverse. He is results-oriented and capable of delivering them both quickly and sustainably. Well versed in all categories of demand generation, sales and marketing methodology, communication, public speaking, strategy and executive leadership, he is comfortable in any business setting and welcomes networking with an attitude of abundance and a desire to deliver value to others…as well as being an avid YPO’er.

In this episode, Steve, Mary, Richard, and Jonathan discuss:
- What Kajabi is and how it has helped their customers sell over $700M in products.
- Building your company to solve a problem you have.
- How to launch a business using your customers on your journey.
- Ways to utilize Kajabi at different levels to grow your business.
Key Takeaways
- Keep moving forward – don’t allow good to become an enemy of great.
- If someone experiences success, they don’t leave.
- Tech overwhelm can be the number one killer in the industry.
- Focus on the fundamentals that actually drive success.
“If you’re not solving a need, and you’re not in conversation with your customers and exploring, psychologically, what they’re desired state is from their current state, you’re not going to create the type of success that Kajabi has enjoyed because all you’re doing, at that point, is gambling.” — Jonathan Cronstedt
“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.” LP
