I HAVE READ THE ENERGY BUS BOOK AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT REALLY MAKES YOU THINK HOW IMPORTANT YOUR TEAM IS AND ALSO IT HELPS YOU GET THEM MOTIVATED AND WANT TO BE A PART OF THE ENERGY THAT YOU ARE BRINGING. MY QUESTION IS DO YOU HAVE ANY CD’S THAT I MAY BE ABLE TO WATCH IN THE BOOK STORES THAT HAS THE SAME EFEECT AS THE ENERGY BUS OR DO YOU HAVE ONE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE ENERGY BUS. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME.

Jon,
You inspire me. I think I am a positive
person, but boy, if I allow too much of
the outside world in my mind, hearing
your messages gets me focused again:-)
Thank you!

Jon,

Your message of NO FEAR IN THE NEW YEAR came to me at the right time. In a few days, I will be retiring from a job I’ve held for 30 years and my plans are to launch my own consulting business. I am filled with excitement, but occasionally fear of the unknown creeps in. Your message immediately removed some of that fear and I plan to use it to keep me focused. Thank you so much. I am truly inspired.

By Richard Nesta on Dec 29, 2008

Jon, your words, like your books are so absolutely true. I appreciate your thoughts and your dedication to making the world a better place!

Someday, we’ll meet, I’m sure of it.

Peace & Joy,
Richard M. Nesta

I have been reading Jon Gordon’s newsletter for many years. In 2000, I became deeply depressed after losing my mom, dad, grandmother,job, and almost my brother. I hit my very low and the crossroads of my life. Suicide was not beyond my thinking, but deep down I knew it was wrong. At some point I knew I wasn’t alone, as God was with me. He may have led me to Jon’s column which I faithfully read. Inch my inch, with God’s help and Jon’s newsletter I once again became my positive self. It took about 5 years to come back fully, but I do thank God everyday that I did take this path.

Thank Jon

By Katrina on Dec 30, 2008

Back in 2000 and 2001, I went through a period of many losses. First my mom, dad, grandmother, job, relationship, and almost lost my brother and sister. I fell into a deep hole of depression which took 5 years to dig myself out with God’s help and encouragement of Jon’s newsletter. I faithfully read them for many years.

Before all these losses, I was always a positive idealist. Once again I’m back there with a greater appreciation on all the wonderful things we have. Someone once told me that out of depression comes great strength, as I feel so much stronger today.

Thank you Jon, as you have help me out of the depths of this depression along with God’s help.

Hi Jon, I read the Energy Bus. I really learned a lot from it. My church Daybreak did a series on it a few months ago, and heard you speak. It was great, and now that I read the book, my co-workers are re reading it. God sure moves in great ways. I hope with his help I can change the energy of my team. I just bought the no complaining rule. I can not wait to read it.

By Malinda Routhier on Mar 9, 2009

THANK YOU for keeping the “Positive” movement going in the universe. Flowing gently downstream without fear…secure in faith for our future.

By Betty L. Borwick on Apr 13, 2009

very brilliantly orchestrated. thanks for all the positive energies…

By Charlene Summers on Apr 16, 2009

Wonderful! Thank you!

By James Harvey on Apr 27, 2009

This sounds just like our Leadership Training and Development group (LTD) is teaching us for our mind-set change as business owners vs employees. I guess Truth is Truth no matter who is teaching it. Thank you so much and I’m signing up for your newsletter as well.

By Elaine Willenborg on Apr 27, 2009

I believe in being positive. For me it meant the death of my 40 year old sister and a 50 year old friend. My motto is from Mel Brooks “life is the opposite of death…while you are here you have to shake your arms and legs, jump around and make some noise”…. Enjoy the day and thanks for the messages.

By Luanne on May 1, 2009

TOAST is my word for tonight and I certainly feel like a person and not a piece of spam script.

Enjoyed listening to your writing, your thoughts, and all the other things said. I need not to have so many negative thoughts according to my oldest child who is the one who needs Mom right now.

By Luanne on May 1, 2009

I tried this before but was informed my word was incorrect. Ergo, am trying again with the word dan. Hopefully it will be okay.

need to hear your positive thoughts to keep myself focused on good positive thoughts. Thank you a lot

By Mack on May 8, 2009

Beautiful and encouraging words!

By Linda on May 8, 2009

Positive Believing = Receiving. Your messages are loud and clear and I will repeat your positive confirmations for the rest of my life. RIGHT ON! Love YOU!

By Jennifer King on May 11, 2009

Thank you Jon, so true if fear and faith are the same and neither has yet happened……..why not choose FAITH. Love it! You are a giver not a taker, thank you for sharing your clips and tips/posters.

By Jennifer Costa on May 11, 2009

Thank you Jon for the Positive Moments and Posters. I am trying to bring a more positive atmosphere to my workplace and these tools will certainly help. I Love to listen to the MP3 message on my way to work. I wish more people could hear you!!

By mary fowler on Jun 17, 2009

I have watched the video of Enjoy the Ride with the beautiful music and pictures.

I have not been able to watch this because of a post about the copyrights on pictures.

Is there another site or possible way to get this video of Enjoy the Ride, author unknown.

I loved the video and was truly inspired by each thought.

Thank you,

mbf

By Tal Morgan on Jul 3, 2009

Wow, he does it agian! I’m a CEO in my company, as the Energy Bus would say… and I’m amazed by the Energy Bus phenomenon. I’m actually hosting a seminar about this all for my entire company. Half of it would be about the Energy Bus alone. Thanks for the inspiration this week!

By Dan on Jul 22, 2009

My positive moment today was being “regular” . It was my biggest accomplishment!

By moni on Aug 6, 2009

You are great. Thank’s.
You are special. Thank’s.
You are … Thank’s
I wish I could read some of your books but hear in Romania we don’t have them.
I hope that one day I will have in my hands one of your book.
Keep going. You are the best.

By Anna on Aug 10, 2009

Simply beautiful, magnificent! Thank you Jon

By David on Aug 12, 2009

I have heard you speak, read the Energy bus and Training Camp. Both have greatly impacted me this summer as I have had to go through a difficult time regarding my career. I have typed and memorized 20 ways to become mentally tough and the 10 rules of the Playbook. This is how I will now guide my life and that of my families. Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

By Sam on Aug 17, 2009

My life is going through a lot of tough time these days. I just listened to your inspirational words and it occurred to me why have I been so miserable. Its because I have been such a negative person blaming everything bad on the person I love most and as a result not giving that person the kind of support he needed from me. I felt really bad.Thanks for making me realize that. God bless.

By Marty on Sep 11, 2009

Dear Jon
I love your books.I am having much bad times now.Part of which was my fault.I have a Depressed Spouse that pulled me into the web of depression.If the spouse would see what joys I now see and how great the books have opened my eyes.I believe our marriage would survive.I have to let you know my friends and family are coming back around me and supporting me.They see the difference your messages do.They see how the spouse has destroyed much of the marriage and could turn around this problem.If she would just do some of the things.
Thank you for your work to help people.

By donna wallace on Sep 26, 2009

Great stuff here!! you and flip flippen need to meet if you haven’t already… Same philosophy…

I love your books and plan to share them as much as I can with aspiring leaders and just people in know in general.

your talk on Positivity at a recent conference was the medicine i needed to fuel my energies and get back on the bus…

thank you and i’d love for you to visit my teen leadership classes sometime in grand prairie….

ever there, look me up…. we are building positive future leaders there!!!!

By Deline Tan on Sep 29, 2009

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding fear and faith. Yes, we need to focus on the positive and allow faith to speak to us rather than allow situations and circumstances to determine how we should be.

I appreciate your writings and am enjoying your post here in this site.

Regards & blessings,
Deline

I just finished The Shark And The Goldfish and it was really good.I am 10 but I love to read books.I am a Book Worm but anyway The Shark And The Goldfish was really good.I would probally be the Goldfish because Fish aer my favorte animals.Whe I am older I am going to take the advice,because I dont want to give up on anything,and I want to have a career.So that was a awesome book and I think I will read more of the books by this auther.

By self improvement seeker on Aug 19, 2010

Fear versus faith has been a big issue for me for the past 3 years. I never thought about how both of them are really about the future and not the present. So you reminded me first, to stay in the present and second, to think about a positive future just because you might as well be positive instead of negative!
Thanks!
