About Jonathan

My name is Jonathan R McGowan

My life revolves around my four children named Robert 10, Kathleen 9 Thomas 7. He likes to be called Spider-man and last but not least Michelle 6 and not to be left out is Shiloh who is Robert’s Golden Retriever We live in a small Cabin about thirty minutes from Lake Tahoe. If it’s snowing then it might take three hours to get there.

The Picture to the right was taken from our deck in March 2010.

I currently work on my business from home. Which I love it enables me as a single Father to be with my kids all the time.

To call our home chaotic would be an understatement. And to tell you the truth I would have it no other way. In a previous life, before the kids were born. I was a sales associate and spent most of my time traveling. Seeing the world and working. I became somewhat of a modern day hobo.

On one trip I spent four months in Hawaii three different islands when that was done

Immediately flew up to Alaska for another three months. In those days I spent a lot of time scuba diving so the travel had some excellent benefits. As the years rolled by I ended up in Manhattan staying with a friend for the winter. During this time I took an instructor position with a Fred Astaire Ballroom studio. This was fun if you haveever been to Manhattan you know you can loss yourself for years if you’re not careful. After a few years I Transferred to A small studio in Sarasota Florida. Sarasota is known for its gorgeous beach’s and golf courses.

My life at this time turned calm and slowed to a pace you could only appreciate living in a small community, I bought a nice home with a pool a must in southwest Fl. The quite time ended with the birth of Robert J  what a blessing. Followed soon by Kathleen Kelly  and yes a blessing too.

Fatherhood does lead to some unexpected developments.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGpDj1YE1TY[/youtube]

I soon acquired a tremendous amount of patience an expertise in the realm of diaper changing that would be an inspiration to my mother.

Robert and Kathleen left the age of diapers and what a great day that ways. I found out that a new Addition to our family was due in April 2004 that addition was Thomas C  (Spider-man as he likes to be called Now).The last addition to our family came thirteen months latter with Michele M . With Michele came the realization that Grandma and Grandpa were going to be a necessity so we pack up and moved back to California who says you can’t go home.

And that my friend bring us to the paradise blog. I had to find a way to spend most of my time with these great Kids. With a background in coaching and instruction helping people succeed comes naturally and is something I really enjoy.

What I’ve found is the new web 2.0 combined with social media along with attraction marketing allows me Cultivate relationships which in turn allows for my business to thrive daily. Enough for now please leave helping comments or thought for everyone to share

Thanks so much Jon
