"Part 4: Jason James In Search of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski
Ralph Zuranski: Is it valuable to have highly charged emotions about achieving your goals?
Jason James: Most definitely. I think having a passion for what you do really shows to other people and having a passion for what you do will, I think, you will be more successful when you have highly charged emotions.
Jason James: When you are passionate about what you do you just put your heart and soul into something. Put yourself into a project that is very important and I think when your heart is into something life can go by much easier as opposed to something that you are fighting and you are not into and you have emotions but they are negative emotions.
Ralph Zuranski: Is it useful to take a positive view of setbacks and misfortunes and mistakes?
Jason James: Absolutely. I’ve had tons of, not bad things happen to me but unfortunate experiences. I’ve been there where I’ve been fired from a job. I’ve had money problems. I had my car repossessed. I had big-time credit problems.
Jason James: I’ve learned from all these different things. They can all be learning experiences. Granted I’m only 29 years old but I’ve been through a few things that have really helped me.
Jason James: Now where I’m at in the place in my life to sort of learn from where I’ve been. I’ve been down in the dumps. I’ve been there with no money, no prospects for a job, being a college drop-out. I’ve been there.
Jason James: All these things that have happened to me have contributed to where I am at now. I run a pretty successful business and I’m happy with where I’m at.
Jason James: In January of this year I was able to buy a house and I bought a car that I paid for with cash. I really attribute my success to having been in a bad place and having learned from those experiences.
Ralph Zuranski: When you do have setbacks and misfortunes and mistakes is it important to have optimism?
Jason James: Absolutely because no matter how bad things get for me or for anyone who is listening to this, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. You can’t appreciate life now as it is if you don’t have a feeling for how bad it could be. I don’t know if I said that properly.
Jason James: When you are down and not where you want to be it’s very important to just stay positive, stay working towards your goals and stay optimistic. That is very helpful and very important.
Yours in success,
Jason James
