Toward that end Scott is chatting with John Lee Dumas, entrepreneur and podcaster about his new “Freedom Journal” and how it can help you accomplish your #1 goal within the next 100 days. It’s a practical tool that John guarantees will set you up for the success you’re looking for. Find out more on this episode.

F.O.C.U.S. - Follow one course until success.

Just as Scott encourages the TAS community to “take action” every week, John Lee Dumas talks often about the power of F.O.C.U.S. What does that mean? Simply, it’s John’s version of what Scott’s been saying: Follow One Course Until Success. There are many, many “weapons of mass distraction” out there (John’s phrase) and they will pull against your desires to accomplish significant things in your life. You need to learn the discipline to overcome those distracting things so that you can reach the level of success you want. This episode is a primer for you, leading to understand that kind of focus and how you can begin taking steps to developing it in your everyday practices. Be sure you listen.

Those who are successful know how to set and accomplish goals.

In interviewing thousands of successful entrepreneurs John Lee Dumas has discovered one commonality between them all. Those who are successful on any level are the people who know how to set and reach goals. For those people there are no excuses. No turning back. They wisely set S.M.A.R.T. goals (more on that in a bit) and take action. Today John Lee Dumas shares why he’s so committed to helping people discover how to set and accomplish those kinds of goals and what he’s doing to ensure that more and more people can learn the skills necessary to enable them to add that skill to their toolbox. It’s an important episode Scott’s got for you today, so be sure you take the time to listen.

What are S.M.A.R.T. goals?

S.MA.R.T. is a tried and true acronym that many people have used to help themselves set and accomplish goals, and it’s one John Lee Dumas recommends and uses in his new book “The Freedom Journal.” S.M.A.R.T. stands for “Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. If you create goals that adhere to those 5 characteristics you’ll have no problem accomplishing them. John is so convinced of that he’s included the S.M.A.R.T. methodology as a key component of his new “Freedom Journal.” Find out more about the journal below and by listening to this episode of The Amazing Seller.
