Listen "T1C 06 | The 1% Closer With Jon Jasniak"
Episode Synopsis
In this short interview, John Jasniak, described as a top 1% performer in his field, shares insights into what separates him from others in the real estate and land development industry. His defining trait is an extreme attention to detail, which he believes is critical for success. Unlike many developers who delegate operations or technical details, John stays hands-on in every part of the process, from drilling water wells to ensuring roads are built to spec.
When asked about scaling without losing quality, John emphasizes the importance of hiring trusted, full-time, U.S.-based employees instead of relying on virtual assistants. He believes proximity and accountability are essential for maintaining the same level of precision as a company grows.
Finally, John discusses the biggest risk of his career, taking on a $1.2 million seller-financed land deal when his company was worth only $2–3 million. The debt represented about half his net worth at the time, but he went for it despite the fear. That bold move on a 465-acre West Texas subdivision became a pivotal growth moment for his business.
Key Highlight Points:
- Attention to detail is everything: John’s success comes from being deeply involved in every operational aspect.
- Hands-on leadership: He doesn’t delegate critical tasks too early or rely heavily on automation or VAs.
- Scaling smartly: Growth doesn’t mean detachment, he trains and hires full-time, local employees who share his standard of excellence.
- Calculated risk-taking: His biggest professional leap involved carrying $1.2M in seller-financed debt, about half his net worth, showing courage and conviction in his projects.
- Mindset of excellence: John embodies the belief that mastery comes from ownership of details, disciplined scaling, and bold but thoughtful risk.
