Jonathan truly believed that anyone can achieve success as long as they push against the odds and thrive towards attaining their goals. His strong belief came as a result of his own struggle for success, where even though not coming from a very privilege background he was able to attain great heights in areas where many told him he would fail. In July 2016 he was sponsored a space in the Trade and Investment Convention (TIC) https://ttma.com/tic/ which is the largest expo event where businesses and manufacturers both large and small use the opportunity to showcase their products and services. In TIC 2016 he shared a small booth with five other entrepreneurs, and after the great experience he then vowed to take part the next year.

In 2017 as he continued to grow his company CIVON Multi-Services Limited he did accomplish his goal of successfully participating in the Trade and Investment Convention (TIC) of that year however this time he was able to occupy two whole booth spaces which showcased the products and services of his company. He never forgot how he was fortunate to be sponsored a space in the 2016 event hence the reason in 2017 he also sponsored a booth for a few young entrepreneurs and he has continued to do this act each year since.
