Hour 147: Master Productivity, Discipline & Focus with John Lee Dumas

HOUR 147: The Zig Ziglar Show with Kevin Miller and Tom Ziglar, Episode 450: Master Productivity, Discipline and Focus with John Lee Dumas. 

For those that don’t know John Lee Dumas, he’s the founder and host of the podcast Entrepreneur On Fire (EOFire), a daily podcast that interviews entrepreneurs 7 days a week. 

Today’s takeaway points:

1. When John started his podcast, he had no idea where it was going to go or how it was going to evolve, but that didn’t stop him from starting. You don’t need to see the whole staircase before taking the first step, you just need to take the first step. Fear stops a lot of people from starting. 

2. Always be a person of value, in an area you love. If you give value to the people who follow you, their questions will guide you to find solutions and will show you your true path. 

3. Successful people have far more weaknesses than strengths, however they learn to use their strengths to their advantage, and they avoid their weaknesses. 

4. Throughout the day you should have focus sessions, where you specifically focus on one task, and then follow this with a short refresh session. 

Also: 

* Learn from others, but forge your own unique path.

* Model people but find your own brand. 

• You need to scale between consuming content and producing content. When you first start out in business you’re going to consume far more content than you create, however over time and with experience the scales will start to move in the opposite direction.
