The Jonnie Jensen Show

One of the hardest parts of being a coach for dads is feeling like I can show the good and the bad of my own life.  

It's been a hard year. 

But that is the reality for all of us - there are inevitably highs and lows. 

The truth is that 2023 has so far been incredibly tough. And that's ok. 

One of my favourite movie quotes is from Balboa, when Rocky is talking to his son. "Life ain't all sunshin...

Of all the people you need to look after, you are the most important.

Not in a selfish way.... it is so you can be more for others.

A strong, confident, fulfilled man who is connected to who he is and what he is up to.

When all is said and done, you have to be able to take a breath and appreciate yourself.

But how do you create moments like that for yourself?

To actually STOP and enjoy the beer, the moment on your...

Are you feeling stuck in life, despite having success? Do you feel like there's more to life, yet you're unsure how to access it?

The answer might lie just beyond your comfort zone.

In this empowering episode, we delve deep into the journey of breaking free from the boundaries of your comfort zone, a critical aspect of the POWER CODE method.

We explore why it's crucial to challenge your comfort zone and how it can reigni...

Are you having enough fun? In this week's podcast I explore the essential need for fun in your life.

Too many men fail to prioritise fun, which includes relaxing, as part of their path to success.

When life is all work and no play, you get stuck in a rut of hard work and exhaustion.

Your patience for everyday moments of stress becomes limited, and it is a downward spiral.

We need plans to look forward to and memories to...

Welcome to our empowering podcast episode, "Quality Time with Your Children: Make Every Moment Count." 

As modern, motivated dads, we understand the importance of nurturing our relationships with our children and rediscovering our masculine energy. In this episode, we dive into practical strategies and insights to help you become the extraordinary father you aspire to be.

Join us as we explore the key elements of our POW...

Do you have the relationship of your dreams or a relationship that is killing you?

Sadly, for too many men it is the latter. 

Men feel.....

...walked over.

...taken for granted.

...unappreciated.

Even an average relationship is a shocking drain on your energy and emotions. It draws you into a life of accepting second best. 

But you must realise that responsibility does start with you.

The only thin...

If you know exactly what you want, figuring out how to get it shouldn't be too difficult.

That is the importance of having a clear vision of your future and the confidence to make it happen.

The real challenge is actually doing the work. And that is where most men get stopped.

The secrets of success are not that secret, it's just that most won't do what is required.

For Dads hitting midlife, too many of our routines an...

Putting the right people around you will lift you up and drive you forward.

The wrong people will hold you back, and then drag you down.

This could sound a bit heavy..... so let's focus on the positives!

Jim Rohn (someone I consider a mentor of mine) said, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. They determine what conversations dominate your attention, and they shape who you are."

Quite ho...

Who am I being? When did you last ask yourself that question?

It's not a question people normally ask themselves.

I didn't ask myself it until I was 32!!

I thought who I was, was just me. If the day went well, that was great. And if it was shit, then tomorrow would be better.

"Who am I being?" is a ridiculously powerful level of personal awareness.

When you can notice who you are being - or 'how you are being' if th...

Plan For Fun - a vital part of your well-being and success.

This week's podcast is for every man who is questioning why they just don't have as much fun anymore.

As our favourite life coach, Ferris Bueller, once told us "life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you are going to miss it".

I just had an awesome weekend in London with my girlfriend. We saw old friends, went to a gig, got last...

Winners win.

I'm speaking to your greatness here and you need to do the same.

Whether you come first or last is irrelevant.

Winners win because they are always in the game.

You decide if you are winning or losing.

It is literally a state of mind.

Now sure, there are gold medals, 1st places and trophies. But a tiny, tiny 1% or less will ever get their hands on those.

Winning starts with you being in the game. Th...

Taking 100% for yourself and all you have in your life - good or bad - is incredibly powerful.

It will free you from blame or resentment, regret and frustration. When you realise you have infinite power over your situation, you will focus on yourself and what you can do to make things better.

For example...if you are struggling with a relationship, stop blaming them and their shortcomings. What is your role in it?

Consider...

A common struggle amongst business-owning and high-performance dads is guilt. They need to focus on the business but can't be home to put the children to bed. Then when they play with their children but can't stop thinking about what they should be doing at work!

No surprise that somewhere down the line when it goes tits up regret quickly follows.

The biggest kick in the nuts is hearing your child ask you "why are you always ...

If you are not having fun in life, are you really living?

No matter what the circumstances, seeing the bright side is an option open to us all. Whether you take it, is as much a habit as it is a chosen way of being.

No-one gets to their death bed and wishes they had stressed, aruged or worried a little more.

Over and over again with the Dads I work with their primary frustration - underneath the day to day stress - is wish...

What happens when you ignore your strengths and passions?

Or keep working against your own values?

It ends up with a complete loss of power. Not instantly of course but it builds over time.

If it was instant it would be easy to notice and deal with.

When it happens slowly it is hard to pin point the problem.

The loss of focus and energy seeps into all areas. You get snappy and frustrated - even resentful - but it ...

If you really want success then your WHY is the most important driver of your motivation.

Last week's conversation on Vision Boards - which is really goals - created a wave of questions. Thanks to everyone that asked. The big one was really about "trying and failing" or "trying and giving up". 

"What is the point of a vision board when if I cant keep doing what needs to be done?" 

One part of the answer is the po...

Knowing what you actually want is the most vital element of success and fullfilment.

Men that are not clear on this are left only to focus on what they don't want.

What they are not enjoying in the present.

Focusing on what you do not want is like sitting in your own shit wondering what the smell is!

Today I created a new vision board. It follows on nicely from last weeks topic of meditation, and it is all part of the P...

The power of meditation is pretty wild. It;s not about relaxing. It is about creating more of what you want.

I've done a lot of meditation in the last 14 years. I'm no guru but there is certainly power in it.

It's something to have in your toolbox, like being fit, like confidence, like keeping a cashflow. You can manage without it for sure but the power of meditation is not really to be missed.

You dont have to sit cr...

The best revenge is MASSIVE SUCCESS.
