John Lee Dumas - Goals are the Success Secret of 1,000 Entrepreneurs

Goals can be the single most powerful and most destructive thing that you can do in your company. But don't take it from me. Listen to what my buddy John Lee Dumis has to say about it. After having interviewed over 1,000 entrepreneurs, there is one thing that stands out above everything else. People that are successful in this world, in the business world, as entrepreneurs are those who set and accomplish goals. You know, all of these amazing people that John has had the opportunity to interview will talk about the power of goals, but I don't hear a lot of them talking about how goals can absolutely derail your progress in your company. I want to go over a couple examples because although you can build a company off the power of goals, you can also destroy your organization as well. This is not an easy thing to do. I the success that Entrepreneur on Fire has for me setting and accomplishing the goals that I have throughout my journey turning Entrepreneur on Fire into a multi-7figure business year in year out. And I want to help you do the same. And that's exactly what the Freedom Journal is all about. You know, another thing I love about goals is the timeline. Most people don't you plan plan and the timeline is right here and you plan plan and you're not getting there and then all of a sudden the last 24 48 hours the last week or whatever it is boom all of your results happen and you achieve your deadline. Well, if you don't have a deadline when you're writing down goals, well, guess what? You just stay at that plateau. You just keep cruising right past it. Without this here to stop you, without this timeline roadblock, you never achieve your goals. You just keep going at the same level that you were before. There's a right way and a wrong way to do goals. It's called the smart system and it's a proven technique that works. When his book, The Freedom Journal, finally comes out, I'm going to buy it. It's going to be one of the few actual hard copy books that I'm going to buy. I don't have a lot of time to sit down and read books, but that's why God made bathrooms as far as I'm concerned and goals. The freedom journal is a physical book that you can hold on to that's there. It's a rock for you. Just actually having it there again like an anchor for you. And that's what the freedom journal is all about. What his book is going to offer you is the proper way of formatting your goals. Reinforcement of those goals. Critical element critical critical critical element. I'm going to tell you guys and gals out there, you know that the messages McDonald's wants you to get and Burger King wants you to have, they're reinforcing that in radio advertising, print advertising, television, commercials, you're getting bombarded between seven and 21 times a day just to go out and buy a flipping hamburger.

You're going to bypass all those hurdles, all those roadblocks, all those things that are going to keep you from accomplishing your goals. A lot of people experiment on their own. They try to write down their own goals. They try to do goal accomplishment all by themselves, not realizing, not understanding that there's a science, there's proven techniques, there's a proven way to accomplish your goals, and there's no guesswork to it.
