There are no words to describe how passionate I am about making a difference... and using my entrepreneurial abilities to impact the world. Suffice it to say... there's nothing more I really want to do in life. Quote_down

What's most frustrating and rewarding about entrepreneurship/innovation?

I don't have much to compare the frustration part to. I've always been an entrepreneur... so for me, there's nothing frustrating. Even frustration isn't frustrating. Because it's just a temporary challenge that's meant to be in my life to help me to grow stronger, & more powerful. More capable of overcoming challenges like it. The most rewarding thing... is truly being able to make your visions come to life. To imagine the most beautiful thing you could do with your life for the world... and then to go and create it.

What's the No. 1 mistake entrepreneurs make?

Not believing in themselves at all costs. If you can be stopped... you will be stopped. A true entrepreneur has autonomy, and even when they feel scared out of their mind they move forward POWERFULLY anyway. They just move forward. They're just flat out unstoppable.

What are the top three lessons you've learned as an entrepreneur?

1. There is no limit to how much you can grow as a human being. 2. Every single challenge has a purpose. It's meant to teach you, to push you, to cause you to GROW to your next level... only if you take it on. 3. Life is full of limitless possibility... and it's up to us to perceive life in such a way that we can seize it.

Full bio

Jonathan Budd has been an entrepreneur his whole life.  From saving up to buy his first dirk bike at 10 years old, to selling t-shirts to get by in college, to founding his first internet company at age 22 in his parents basement... entrepreneurship runs through his blood.

At the age of 26, Jonathan had already earned his first $10,000,000 on the Internet, built a following of over 200,000+ people in the online network marketing industry, & was producing some of the largest seminar events happening at that time (http://vimeo.com/31591645).

In september of 2011, Jonathan decided to walk away from his multi-million dollar internet marketing training company, & invest his life into a brand new project.  A transformational gaming platform called MyStand, designed to engage millions of people in quantifiably changing their lives, & the world.

He lives in San Diego california, routinely travels the world, & is passionate about break dancing, spoken word poetry, artistic expression, & creating positive/conscious community.
