Go Bust or Grow Up! Is that it?
Welcome to the closing chapter of 2024. And what a year it’s been. No one ever considered or could have imagined the magnitude of just how the COVID-19 Pandemic would decimate our world as we knew it. Then came higher interest rates and a global crisis. We haven’t been able to catch a break in ever such a long time.
We each have a story about how we’ve been impacted. And now, with the onslaught of AI and the near death of small retail, every Entrepreneur can either do the Ostrich in the sand stance or take one two choices—go bust or grow up.
That All Important Work/Life blend
We’ve all heard of the utopian existence of a work life balance. But can that really be possible? We’ve read the the 4 Hour week and heard about Freedom Friday’s – are they just great aspirations? But when you have a business to run, payroll and suppliers to pay, and a family to provide for, sometimes the joy of why you chose your career or started your business seems to get lost in the busyness of the moment. How can you find balance? How can you bring it all together? With 40 years of business experience and 20 years since the creation of We Make Stuff Happen, I’ve learned a thing or two. I’ve always openly shared what we’ve learned and been up to, and now it’s time to share that knowledge with a blend of marketing and mindset to offer sustainable business growth truly. I invite you to join me in our virtual boardroom – The Happening
The future of a successful entrepreneur is not just about turning a profit. Time has taught us that life is way more precious and that each day is a gift.
What if we were to look afresh at our priorities and carve out a new mindset that brought in a profitable business and a fantastic lifestyle that gave back to ourselves, our family, our community and our world?
Sounds like a pipedream?
?For some maybe – but for me it’s been a rich vein of learning new pathways and loving life. In the recession of 2008 I created one the world’s leading boutique digital agencies – We Make Stuff Happen. In 2022, I launched a very successful mastermind with the latest and most innovative and important developments. This was not just another mastermind – this was the birth of a movement. And it’s called The Happening.
How fast you run or how slow you walk is entirely your choice. But as the world grapples with recessionary factors and the dawn of AI, there has never been a more opportune time to reevaluate and reprioritize your business life.
We all want to be successful. We want to hear stories of how happy our family is to have you home. Are you ready to embrace the digital marketplace. Are you willing to fight for your family’s future? We all know of businesses that have been crushed. Was it the market or was it their marketing and mindset?
Many business owners are in the fight of their lives. The fear is that you must have the lowest price and need to sell it fast. And that’s okay if you’re Walmart. But what if you are looking for good margins and a low-stress life?
The Walmart model works but who want’s to be Walmart?
If you’re aiming for the high ground, ‘The Happening’ business concept can be your game-changer. By deeply understanding your people, your place, and your product, you can sell at a premium price and lead a fulfilling life. They say money can’t buy happiness, but it certainly makes life easier. And that’s what ‘The Happening’ is all about – a blueprint to financial success and personal fulfillment.
A way of finding new clients, new people who will bring you the business you want and give you the lifestyle you desire, with that ubiquitous work-life blend.
This is our mission, and I invite you to join me on this transformative journey. It all begins in the fall of 2024. This is not just another mastermind or high-ticket course – it’s the birth of a movement that will revolutionize how we do life and business.

See what business owners who have already worked with us have to say…
“I found Jonathan when looking for a certified StoryBrand guide to help build a website for my new business. It was immediately clear that the team at We Make Stuff Happen knew how to build a well-designed website with effective copy. Thankfully, that wasn’t where our relationship ended.
From there, I enrolled in the ‘Get Known & Dare to be Digital’ three-day course. This course came just as my business’ social media needed to get started. Jonathan presented everything in a way that transformed me from being unsure how to start to posting confidently the very next day.
Next, I participated in the VIP Virtual Mastermind Group. Together we learned and compared notes on digital marketing strategies. My business went from just starting on social media to having an effective strategy amongst multiple accounts. Thanks to the Mastermind Group, people are really beginning to notice my business and revenue is increasing.
By working with Jonathan, so much more has been gained than just a great website. I’ve also gained a deeply trusted business partner.”
Tim Dyck Girl Dad People Developer / Interview Coach / Talent Identifier
“I was totally in the dark about using social media for building and growing a business before meeting Jonathan. He’s both incredibly knowledgeable, and so easy to work with.
Over the weeks in the VIP Mastermind, I learned so much! It helped me to clarify how I might use social media in my business. I now have a better understanding of the value of using, how to use, and how to create great content for social media.
It was also great to be a part of a group of incredible people all working to grow their businesses. This was an awesome experience. I highly recommend the VIP Mastermind.”
Pratima Ramlall, BSc, BEd, MSc, PhD Chief Operations Officer, Chintan Project
“The Virtual VIP Mastermind has been hands down the best mastermind program I’ve participated in. The program goes beyond introducing concepts and strategies that you’re left to implement on your own. The coaching includes specific how-to DIY implementation guidance and individual feedback to achieve your business goals. Jonathan is dedicated to working towards each participant’s success, no matter where they are in their business. This is a one-in-a-million mastermind.”

AND TOGETHER, LET’S #MAKESTUFFHAPPEN
Can this really be possible? Can I truly
keep my business running AND have quality time for me and my family?
Yes You Can and We’re Here to Help!
Maybe you can relate…
You’ve never really “got” social media. Feeling too late to the game, too old and out of touch,
You would rather have your privacy over posting what you had for lunch.
There are only so many hours in the day and you want quality family time but NEED to make money consistently.
You love telling great stories but hate the idea of having to create compelling contnet and making live videos.
Wouldn’t it be great to…
Know which Platforms to use and how to post so that you get real engagement without adspend.
Knowing each day just what to do and what to say to bring in good business.
Have more time, less stress, improved profits and finally enjoy your life.
