Welcome back to the 13th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast! Today I have the great pleasure of talking finance, real estate, and changing your life with Jon Ballard. First we talk about this weeks Instrument of Change: *** INSTRUMENT OF CHANGE This week’s instrument of change comes straight from Jon Ballard. Go buy a whiteboard and put it up to keep yourself organized. You can buy all kinds of different kinds of white boards. The point is to make it so you stay organized. *** In today’s episode, we talk about Jon’s experience doing the normal traditional college route. He also explains how he got a normal day job and found that it wasn’t fulfilling. He then explains that he went to find something else and he found real estate. Later in the episode, Jon explains that he found himself at one point in a low point where he had nothing. He then climbed out of that low and went on to become more successful than he’s ever been. *** GET IN TOUCH WITH Jon Ballard If you want to get in touch with Jon you can reach out to him on Facebook, or on Instagram. *** In the show we also talk about our new show sponsor, Audible.
