Episode 562: Don't Let Old Battles Keep You From New Victories with Jon Gordon
Episode 562
Wednesday, 3 June, 2026
What if a single daily habit could completely change the trajectory of your life and your business? In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, host Chris Prefontaine sits down with bestselling author and leadership expert Jon Gordon for a powerful conversation on mindset, positive habits, and the daily practices that separate high performers from everyone else. Jon, the author of 33 books, including The Energy Bus, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team, and his brand-new release Power of Positive Habits — shares the deeply personal story behind his transformation: how a near-divorce, a failed tech job during the dot-com crash, and a single daily gratitude walk set him on a path to impacting millions. With 6.5 million books sold and a client roster that includes the LA Rams, LA Dodgers, Miami Heat, and the Seattle Seahawks, Jon brings battle-tested wisdom to entrepreneurs and real estate investors who are ready to stop playing defense and start building the life they deserve. Whether you're a solopreneur fighting self-doubt, an investor trying to move past old setbacks, or a leader looking to build a stronger team culture, this episode delivers actionable strategies you can implement today. Tune in to discover the habit that rewired Jon's brain from negative to positive, why goals alone won't get you where you want to go, the mindset shift that helped Jon turn $100K into $1 million, and how to become your own greatest encourager especially when facing adversity, rejection, or market uncertainty.
