Success stories — how an individual moves from Point A to Point B — are always a joy for me to hear, and an even bigger joy to share.
John Lee Dumas’ story is particularly inspiring because he’s also a friend, and he just…does things right!
If you regularly listen to podcasts or are involved with them yourself, you know the name, John Lee Dumas. He’s the creator and host of EOFire (Entrepreneurs On Fire) which generates over 1.2 million unique listens per month (yes, that’s per “month!”) inspiring entrepreneurs to take control of their lives and take their entrepreneurial leap.
He’s truly right at the top of his field. And, his keynote address at last year’s huge Podcast Movement 2015 touched lives in a magnificent way.
Along his journey, John has interviewed over 1200 successful entrepreneurs. He says he found one commonality in each and every one of them: “their ability to set and accomplish goals.” On the other hand, he says, “struggling entrepreneurs fail to do this very thing.”
John is a big believer in SMART Goals: (S)pecific, (M)easurable, (A)ttainable, (R)elevant, (T)ime-bound. Yes, those have been around for a long time. And, for good reason: when applied correctly, they work!
And, of course, while goals themselves are so very important, there is more involved in order for success to take place. Want to know how to accomplish your big goal?
Enjoy this conversation with John Lee Dumas:
Wow! Easy to see why John is a force to be reckoned with and has attained such a huge level of success in his field.
Be sure and check out John’s, The Freedom Journal. As John mentioned, his goal — via this journal — is to help you accomplish your #1 goal within the next 100 days!

My pleasure, John. Thank YOU. And, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Huge Value!!
I will have to check him out as I keep hearing about it. Surprisingly, I have hardly listened to any podcasts since I’m more of a reader. But I will be doing more this year. Thanks for sharing the resource and the reminders.
My pleasure, Skip. I love having the opportunity to share the fantastic wisdom of people such as John…and you! You are both very wise leaders and entrepreneurs who’ve accomplished great things the right way!
