We had the good fortune of connecting with Jon Connors and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jon, what is the most important factor behind your success?
One of the most important factors behind my success would be taking risks. Everyone thought I was crazy to quit my corporate job and start my real estate journey full time at the pandemic’s beginning.

Ultimately, I had two choices- continue to be unhappy or risk everything to see what the world was like on the other side. I can honestly say my journey has been incredible! Not only am I learning along the way, but I am also building valuable skills and relationships that will contribute to me building my brand. Taking that risk and betting on myself has been a great return on investment. You don’t know what you are capable of until you try. My mom taught me that nothing worth having in life comes easy at an early age. I took that seriously and took it with me every step of the way. My business is my baby! It is my job to nurture and continue growing it into something bigger than myself.

Whenever I get discouraged or feel like I’m not doing enough, I always remember the infamous saying from one of my close friends … “AIN’T NO CRYING ON THE YACHT!” It’s so easy to become discouraged with the weight of the world on your shoulders while striving to be the best version of you. My clients are what keep my business going and growing. What makes my brand successful is the commitment, consistency, and transparency I provide to my clients. To be a successful brand, it is crucial to listen to your clients, prioritizing their interests and needs. I have realized that my potential is endless, and my ability to grow is infinite. I can do anything and everything I put my mind to in this life. I am excited about the future and what is to come. I will continue to elevate my mindset, maximize my resources, and grow. I’m optimistic for what the future has in store!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a local realtor and real estate investor in the Chattanooga, TN area. I also serve and sell in the state of Georgia. I am most excited about the growth for myself and my business! What set me apart from others would be my ability to be forward-thinking and innovative! I’ve never wanted to blend in and be like everyone else, so I make sure I give clients the ultimate experience when it comes to serving them. I love being different and unique. It is essential to set yourself apart in the real estate world and think outside the box. I’m naturally a problem solver, and I dislike to dwell on things that I cannot change! It is sometimes best to evolve with life and roll with the punches. I’m sure everyone knows the infamous saying, ” Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get!”, well for every new day, there are a million different things that could occur! It is up to you to make the best decision. Getting to where I am at today has not been easy! However, my journey has allowed me to become humbled and appreciative. Despite obstacles that will come, I remain committed to moving forward.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My mom is my biggest motivation! She is the strongest person I know! She has taught me so much about life. She honestly keeps me motivated!! She has inspired me in many ways and has laid the blueprint for my siblings and me. My mentor, Sabrina Hagood, has also contributed to my journey! I cannot thank her enough for all that she does. She is always a phone call away and there for me anytime I need guidance. Having these fantastic role models in my life has made me realize that I am not on this journey alone!
