Send us Fan MailIt was my pleasure to have a conversation with Jon Dwoskin of The Jon Dwoskin Experience.Here is what I learned and you will too:Jon never slows down. In this episode he talks about 3 different businesses he is currently running or co-running with another one coming up. And that is just the beginning.This is a great episode about asking the right questions and then moving forward with a person’s strength. At the core Jon is a business coach and even for his own businesses. His words of advice to anybody are if you're starting a business,  focus on your talents, where your strengths are, because usually the business that you want to start is hidden in plain sight. You just can't really see that you can that you could monetize something.Watch for “Life Plan” – Jon’s new bookIs your company saying the same things over and over but the message isn't getting through to your staff or clients?
