The message behind this place: To create a community based on getting paid to be who you are. A catalyst for you to liberate yourself through living and working on your own terms.
We’re born free, but as we become domesticated we lose our authenticity. We start thinking we need to become something we’re not, and hold it against ourselves that we aren’t “what we should be.”
This leads to thinking that work needs to be a struggle… we need to become something. Make it. Work hard. Sacrifice.
I call bullshit.
We should never change who we are to succeed. The purpose of Illuminated Mind is to help you wake up to the reality that you can live and work on your own terms. You can do both, simultaneously.
And you may even get to the point where you can no longer tell the difference…
Who this is for: the unreasonable person. Those who want to be lighthouses, trailblazers, and serve the world with their true genius.
We’re questioners, and skeptics. We have a hard time blindly following rules and living according to templates. There’s a plethora of material out there on how to operate effectively in a paradigm that suffocates who we are.
But… what if we didn’t need to learn how to become better, attract friends and influence people, or learn 7 ways to succeed in climbing the ladder?
A better way might be shedding all of the stuff that’s not working. The things that we’re doing because someone else told us to. A better way might involve radically embracing who we are, and letting our greatness shine. The less you focus on becoming, and the more you focus on expanding your inherent gifts, the more you realize all those rules were imaginary lines.
My purpose here is to remind you that you’re meant to create your own life. Freedom isn’t something you have to earn, pleasure isn’t something you have to sacrifice to cash in on down the road.
These things are available, right now.
In other words, you can get paid to be who you are and create a life that you want. Now.

So, who’s causing all this trouble?
I’m Jonathan. Nice to meet you. Since a young age, I’ve had a hard time doing things that I don’t want to do.
I dropped out of high school (I went to college instead to take classes I was actually interested in). I opted out of the typical life-template. And I left the corporate world to get paid to be who I am.
I started this blog to help others on their path, because I realized what we often view as “collective wisdom” is merely a big, collective assumption. I’ve also found out that a lot of ideas I thought were crazy and counter-intuitive actually produced the best results. It’s these non-standard strategies that I am most interested in.
In case you’re wondering, I don’t have any formal qualifications that make me any more of an “expert” than the next person. I don’t have a degree. I’m not on the New York Times Best-Seller list.
However, I’ve managed to create a life and business that I love. I’ve helped countless people quit their jobs and create heart based businesses doing what they love. And I’ve been blessed to be able to create a highly engaged community of people blazing their own paths.
If anything, I want to show you that you can follow your heart and be grounded. You can have wings and roots. Most of all, you can live your dreams and do what you love.
I’d love to hear about how you’re blazing your own path, say hi to me on Twitter.
I love connecting with fellow trailblazers
I love to connect with people from all walks of life that live on their own terms. You can email me at jonathan@illuminatedmind.net if you’d like to drop me a line.
