Ep: 372: In this episode of Success in Mind, I talk with Jonathan Maynard, entrepreneur and host of the Forge House podcast, about what it really takes to grow a 7-figure business without sacrificing your sanity.

Jonathan shares the biggest mindset shift that changed everything—from reacting to chaos, to becoming a calm, clear leader. We talk about burnout, internal regulation, building a team you can trust, and what to do when you hit a plateau in your business.

We also explore how meditation helped him become a more effective CEO and how to get unstuck when it feels like your business isn’t moving forward.

This conversation is packed with actionable insights on scaling your business with clarity, alignment, and sustainable habits.
